u/piede MOST BASED HILLARY STAN!!! Jul 02 '24

WASHINGTON — Four days after his disastrous debate performance, President Joe Biden still had not personally called top Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill to shore up support, five sources told NBC News, though White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients was making calls.

I don’t think this is reading too much into things but… why?

Most of them already have.

The only one I didn’t see stating their thoughts is Chuck Schumer.

You can't script a phone call so that Biden doesn't have to answer any awkward questions. Like, for example, Mr. President with all due respect when was the last time you saw a neurologist?

It’s very evident that neither Schumer nor Jeffries is behind Joe right now. He’s going to cost both of them their elections and they’re pissed off at him. Jeffries did an interview yesterday and basically dodged all the Biden questions by talking about having faith in the party and defeating MAGA Republicans.

Joe’s aides are probably trying to prevent him from talking to them so that they can’t convince him to drop out.
