All of us get old. I am 72 and realized last year that i am no longer capable of performing in my profession to the standard i have done my whole life. It has been difficult but i am grateful that i could make this transition privately. President Biden is having to reach this point under public scrutiny. I feel for him. I wish he would step down voluntarily, enjoy his family time, write books or whatever would help him close this chapter of his life. I think we need to be kinder. Its something we all face eventually.

[@cdr3986]

Agreed. And ditto for Donald. Everybody gets old. You can’t overcome a decline with speech as a US President. Eyes, yes (glasses). Hearing, yes (h. Aids). But not speech - and awareness makes the speech decline even worse. It’s like football - we’re in the 4th quarter and the quarterback can’t throw anymore.

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

I have the utmost respect for Biden. I’m sure he’s heavily thinking about this grave situation and mulling over what to decide and who he thinks he’d want to take over the nomination. As a country we need to back off and let him be for at least a couple of days. He’s sick with Covid too. He needs a short rest.

[@kendrah8365]

More folks need the compassion you have for Biden. Thank you for this statement 💜

[@BonnieSchroeder-u6d]

@@kendrah8365 thank you! I think we need to be kinder to each other in general....nobody I talk to enjoys this judgment and divisiveness that seems to have taken root since the covid nightmare....it's up to us to make the choice to come together again no matter what side of the fence we are on. We can keep feeding the anger and vitriol that makes nobody happy (ok I guess some people enjoy the fighting) or we can come together. PS Joe Biden has served the country for many years, there is no shame in stepping down now. I hope being sick will allow him a little time out to think about it in peace.

Biden is not able to counter Trump. He is not able to get the points democrats want to make across, not even in interviews. He is not able to actually campaign. He had so few appearances and none of them went really well.

Democrats can only win when they convince swing voters who are not sure whom to vote for. How do you imagine swing voters to decide for Biden when they can`t even understand what he is saying when he finally manages to utter a sentence and that sentence is not even relevant?

"Kiss the ring?" Surprise, surprise...."that ain't no ring". "He was buns up and kneelin' ....Donny was wheelin' and dealin' ". Just like the rest of the sycophants.

When you have an aging parent or grandparent you continue to be clear that you respect them, but when it is time for them to stop driving it is time for them to stop driving - and the more so the more important they are to you. That being said, even a doddering Joe Biden is far better than Trump.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

That’s not the question. The question is; can Biden win? My guess is that he cannot.

[@qwertyuiopgarth]

@@Mrs.TJTaylor While I think he can. He is not the optimum candidate in several ways, but a 'cooperating' Democratic Party can get him elected. All it takes is for everyone who wants Trump to lose to vote. Vote for the Democratic candidate, and then once the election is won start working for there to be better candidates. Politics is the art of the possible, and it is possible for the Democrats to do quite well against Trump. Among other things the Democratic candidates need to be talking about what they will do if they hold the Whitehouse and Congress (etc.), and contrast that with the Project 2025 nonsense (emphasizing both that the Republicans have bad ideas and that even their bad ideas are so poorly described that they should be rejected twice!) and then say again what good things the Democrats will do if elected. No vague platitudes, just clearly articulated plans contrasted with the Republican (hateful) platitudes and lies.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

@@qwertyuiopgarth No. Because we aren’t talking about Democratic voters. We’re talking about the undecided and independent voters. He will not win.

[@qwertyuiopgarth]

@@Mrs.TJTaylor Why is it so hard for you to grasp that we need to try to win? It may or it may not happen that Joe Biden steps down, in either case we need to try to win. Winning is possible, but it does require trying.

If Biden doesn't pass the torch, i'll still vote Blue, but i won't hear Biden talk anymore. It's disheartened to hear him talk this way. Incomplete sentences, names mixed up, etc...

[@alexandrawhitelock6195]

When Biden decided to run again I was very disappointed. Love Biden but we need a fresh new face who can carry on his mission…

[@linguaphile42]

Sadly, this was not a time to take a chance on an unproven quantity such as Newsome or Wittmer, etc. That will be 2028. He's the only one with a record to run on, and such a record. To give up incumbent status is a HUGE mistake! Historically odds are with him to win, if NYT would stop working for Trump bashing Biden at every turn.

[@KathrynBarbour]

I love BIDEN I WILL VOTE FOR HIM AND I WILL VOTE BLUE NO MATTER

[@elenaivanovski123]

I wish the media would stop blasting this dem party nonsense and get behind Biden unite and win. This is making us lose. Why are you jumping on this train also Katie?

[@kates6793]

Trump gaffs every time he opens his mouth. Apparently that’s ok though

[@kathywinecoff5046]

Thanks, Maggie and Katie!

[@donnawray2501]

I want Biden!!!!

[@LauraShanklin]

Why don t you talk about the other candidate for President RFkJr ?

[@AlamarOne]

So you fell for the Trump BS Lying about 'unifying?'. And Habermann is up Trips Butt!

[@patriciaheflin4518]

It was terrific to see your discussion with Maggie! Thanks for keeping us informed, Katie!!

[@nickandmikec]

Alan Lichtman has successfully predicted the last ten elections. He has stated that if Joe Biden steps down we have a much greater chance of losing against Donald Trump.

[@tod3msn]

Finally, something we all can dish on at our usual sweaty Friday night in the Hamptons. Biden is so yesterday and we simply need new material for our weekend socializing. Drinks are on me. See everyone at the bar this weekend!
