Trump doesn't need to open his pie hole and say some stupid shit over this. It's not necessary. He can sit back and let Joe and the group make mistake after mistake.
The Democratic National Committee is considering formally nominating Joe Biden as early as mid-July to ensure that the president is on November ballots, while helping to stamp out intra-party chatter of replacing him after last week’s poor debate performance.
A potential date for Biden’s nomination is July 21 , when the Democratic convention’s credentials committee meets virtually, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Democrats had already planned to nominate Biden, 81, before their August convention in order to ensure he appears on the ballot in Ohio, which had an Aug. 7 deadline for candidates to be certified.
The DNC disputed the notion that the early nomination was a response to the fallout from Biden’s debate performance, saying its “false” and pointing to the previous Ohio ballot deadline as the impetus.
“We’ve said for weeks that the DNC would hold a virtual roll call in the lead-up to our in-person convention as a result of the OH GOP’s bad-faith attempts to keep Joe Biden off of their general election ballot,” Democratic National Committee communications director Rosemary Boeglin said in a statement.
The move to virtually nominate Biden before the convention ensures that Biden is on state ballots, but the timing is fortuitous. It allows the party to further coalesce around their nominee even as insiders call for him to step aside for a new candidate after his rocky June 27 debate performance.
Go DEMs ! nominate biden

Do you feel the difference?
Now that the decrepitude of Biden is so much more in the open, you can already sense a change in people willing to speak up and criticize many things. The 1st amendment is making a comeback among many of those who just a short 18 months ago wouldn't say shit if they had a mouth full of it.
This is the beginning of the end of the GDC BS. We're picking up steam now.

If the debate was the drop dead date (pun noted) for sleepy joe to prove to the establishment that he is competent to run in 2024, he proved he wasn't but has apparently gotten an extension. The party is under a severe time crunch, and I'm sure many wanted to make a change now, if only in planning, but the 50 million in ads implies an extension. The clock is severely ticking for the party, and possibly a later deadline will really hamper things if they finally conclude uncah joe can't go.
I'm glad they're facing this conundrum, they deserve it. The people have spoken, they will be fucked over again. You'd have to be crazy to allow joe to run, even if he's the perfect puppet. I hope when crunch time hits, they can't agree on anything and that the different factions fight and mess it all up. I suspect there will be some created August or September surprise that may make many of their problems not as big.

Yes, I am all for the pre-convention nomination of Joe Biden, as are, I'm sure, most members here, if not all, as well as all thinking people on the political right in this nation.

Notes that many Dems are even more worried because he won't even concede he's doing badly

Biden smiles when asked about Sen. Warner’s reported efforts to get him to drop out of the race. “Mark is a good man. He also tried to get the nomination, too.” (Warner didn’t run for office.)

All four ABC reporters looked as if someone had shot their parents… tells you just how poorly Biden did in the Stephy interview.

The situation is complete disarray. Biden and his people are saying in direct terms that he's in to stay. Then, you have half the news media defending him, half calling for him to step down. You have officials at the DNC saying they are considering nominating Biden before the convention. You have Dem politicians supporting him and now a few calling for him to step down.
Every time Biden appears in public, every time he opens his mouth, he makes things worse for himself.

I'm loving every second of this! Biden is a dishonorable man and he deserves the scorn he is receiving; history will not remember him kindly.
60/40 I think he drops out prior to 1 August. But anything could happen since he is prideful and his closest advisors are self-absorbed and disinterested in his well-being. This is as mysterious and baffling a situation as I have ever seen in politics. Granted, I am not a political professional simply a casual observer, but this one is tough to even guess at! Regardless of the ultimate outcome, Biden is suffering daily humiliation which he 100% deserves for the disgraceful way he has conducted himself in office and the damage he has done to our country.

The one thing that has always been a given was the Democrats put forth a united front. That is no longer true. That's a pretty big fucking deal.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon who has worked with several networks, has stated that Biden should go through detailed cognitive testing and have the results publicized.
Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is on the trail supporting Biden OUTSIDE of California when the state is experiencing unprecedented highs and fires - people are saying that he is abandoning California and is bored with it.
