Money money money

Fox News: "Uncharted territory: Could campaign finances keep Biden on the ballot?" - "An FEC commissioner said there are 'too many hurdles' to replacing Biden as the nominee."

And now the Boston Globe

Boston Globe: "Why Biden should step aside." 

Harris is now higher in the betting market than Biden

That's it.  That's the headline.  Amazing.  

No, Joe, keep fighting!

NY Times: "Biden Told Ally That He Is Weighing Whether to Continue in the Race - The president’s conversation is the first indication that he is seriously considering whether he can recover after a devastating performance on the debate stage in Atlanta on Thursday."

Biden needed to staunch the bleeding immediately after the debate either with a free-form press conference or a contentious interview.  Instead, a week later, he has a softball interview planned with George Stephanopoulos who has been openly hostile to Trump in every appearance.  Nobody is going to buy what they're selling.

Flashback - just a week ago:
I know — I know — I know right from wrong.  (Applause.)  And I know how to do this job.  (Applause.)  I know how to get things done.  (Applause.)  And I know like millions of Americans know: When you get knocked down, you get back up.  (Applause.)
Get up, Joe!  You need to work your 11-4 day.

Lot of resume updating in the West Wing

Legal Insurrection: "Report: ‘Anxiety is Only Increasing’ Inside Biden’s White House" - “Everyone is freaking the f*** out.” 

A conspiracy of lies

The Corner: "‘How Did the Media Miss the Biggest Story in American Politics?’ Some of Us Didn’t!"
I think the clearest answer is that a lot of people in the major mainstream media are really lousy at their jobs, because they wake up every morning asking, “How can I convince people that Democrats are good and Republicans are bad?” instead of asking, “What’s going on in the world, and what do my readers, viewers, or listeners need to know about it?”
The media has destroyed both itself and Joe Biden by covering up his infirmity for years as conservatives were posting "Weekend at Bernies" memes.

Good.

Let's go Joe!

Fox News: "Biden donors 'freaked out' by his reliance on teleprompters at private fundraisers."

That's right: even at intimate events with friendly crowds, Biden can't recite his campaign talking points without a crutch.  I've known this for a while because if you compare the transcripts for these events they are identical.

Everything's fine!

Washington Post: "Biden team circulates poll showing no change in race after bad debate."

Keep calm and support Joe, Democrats.

Schedule update

The White House says Dementia Joe will give a statement on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling at 7:45pm tonight.

But - really - this is just an opening so that Biden can take some shouted questions and then declare that he's staying in the race.  That's the only reason they shoehorned in this last-minute event.

Update - Meh, no questions taken, just reading off the teleprompter and shuffling away.
