The hunt for a new candidate begins…

Shortly after it became clear to the nation that President Biden was experiencing severe cognitive decline during the debate, dozens of news stories broke about finding Joe’s replacement. The Politico piece ‘WTF’: Panicked Dems start looking for alternatives to Biden shows Dems in full-on panic mode.

From Politico:

One major Democratic donor and Biden supporter said it was time for the president to end his campaign. This person described Biden’s night as “the worst performance in history” and said Biden was so “bad that no one will pay attention to Trump’s lies.”

“Biden needs to drop out. No question about it,” the donor said in a text message, proposing an alternate ticket led by the governors of Maryland and Michigan.

…

For weeks, Democrats had hoped a strong performance by Biden in the debate could ease concerns about his age. Instead, it did the opposite.

“No Labels and Dean Phillips won this debate,” said a former senior Biden White House official, referring to the outsider efforts to push a different candidate, not named Trump or Biden, into the race.

…

One adviser to major Democratic Party donors said they were texting from a meeting of donors in Atlanta on Thursday night, some writing “wtf.”

“Our only hope is that he bows out, we have a brokered convention, or dies,” the donor adviser said. “Otherwise we are f–king dead.”

“Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for re-election,” New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman wrote Friday. “Biden has been a friend” for decades, Friedman wrote, but “it’s time for Joe to keep the dignity he deserves and leave the stage at the end of this term.”
