The campaign to replace Joe Biden<\/strong> on the Democratic ticket appeared to gain major momentum this week, as high-ranking Democrats publicly called<\/a> on the president to drop out and others made their<\/a> feelings known<\/a> through not-so-back channels. Yet according to the campaign, Biden is absolutely staying in the race\u2014and those trying to push him out should take a long, hard look in the mirror.<\/p>\n \u201cCan we all just remember for a minute that these same people who are trying to push Joe Biden out are the same people who literally gave us all Donald Trump,<\/strong>\u201d a source close to Biden told<\/a> NBC News. \u201cIn 2015, [Barack<\/strong>] Obama,<\/strong> [Nancy<\/strong>] Pelosi,<\/strong> [Chuck<\/strong>] Schumer<\/strong> pushed Biden aside in favor of Hillary<\/strong> [Clinton<\/strong>];<\/strong> they were wrong then, and they are wrong now.\u201d Noting the polls that showed Clinton up by as much as nine points, the source added: \u201cHow did all this work out for everyone in 2016? Perhaps we should learn a few lessons from 2016; one of them is polls are BS\u2014just ask Secretary Clinton. And two, maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden is more in touch with actual Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking to Politico, a former Biden campaign and administration aide declared<\/a>: \u201cPeople who have known this man\u00a0for 30, 40 years are stabbing this man in the front and the back.\u2026 They are Julius Caesar\u2013ing this man.\u201d For his part, Biden is said<\/a> to feel \u201cangry\u201d and \u201cpersonally hurt and betrayed by the way so many Democrats…have left him hung out to dry,\u201d according to NBC News. And, despite reports<\/a> earlier this week that the president has \u201cbecome more receptive in the last several days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his reelection bid,\u201d he apparently has not changed his mind.<\/p>\n Appearing on MSNBC this morning, campaign manager Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon<\/strong> told Morning Joe<\/em> said Biden is \u201cin this to win this\u201d and believes \u201che can do this.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Unfortunately for Biden, clearly not everyone agrees. On Friday, four more House Democrats publicly called on him to \u201cpass the torch.\u201d<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And according to NBC News, there may be a \u201cbigger push\u201d from the party if Biden doesn\u2019t drop out by Monday. On Friday, Biden, who is in isolation in Delaware after testing positive for COVID, said<\/a> he will get \u201cback on the campaign trail next week\u201d to defend \u201cmy own record and the vision that I have for America.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nX content<\/h4>\n
