Today, Ezra Klein said in the New York Times that Biden should be convinced to step aside and that the Democratic Party should pick a different nominee at the convention in August.

So yes, I think Biden, as painful as this is, should find his way to stepping down as a hero. That the party should help him find his way to that, to being the thing he said he would be in 2020, the bridge to the next generation of Democrats. And then I think Democrats should meet in August at the convention to do what political parties have done there before: organize victory.

A name will resolve Yes if someone posts evidence in the comments of that person directly saying they they think that Joe Biden shouldn't be the 2024 Democratic Nominee.

On August 1st, all remaining names resolve no.

If you have suggestions of other names to add to the list, please let me know in the comments.

Get
Ṁ1,000
and
S3.00
Sort by:
opened a Ṁ1,000 Bernie Sanders YES at 99.0% order
Al Gore

Clearly Gore is about to declare his surprise run for the nomination at the last minute, with Bernie's endorsement.

bought Ṁ300 Al Gore YES

Apparently not!

Dick Durbin (Senate Majority Whip)
Katherine Clark (House Minority Whip)
Nancy Pelosi
bought Ṁ50 Nancy Pelosi YES
bought Ṁ430 Hillary Clinton YES
[Any sitting Dem Governor]
bought Ṁ1,028 [Any sitting Dem Gov... YES
bought Ṁ50 Barack Obama YES

All of these people are at some point going to say they think Kamala or someone else who's not Biden should be the nominee, to the extent their statement about Biden dropping out haven't said it already.

Yeah once the site stops crashing for me I will probably resolve a lot of these yes, and eventually probably all of them

Rashida Tlaib

Does this count? Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib tells fellow Democrats: reject Biden in primary https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/18/rashida-tlaib-joe-biden-michigan-democratic-primary

bought Ṁ70 Rashida Tlaib YES

@dglid imo telling people not to vote for Biden is pretty much the same as saying he shouldn't be the nominee

@Shump Hmmm, yeah slightly ambiguous but I think I'll count it

Pramila Jayapal

Some name suggestions:

Dick Durbin (Senate Majority Whip)

Katherine Clark (House Minority Leader)

Jaime Harrison (DNC Chair)

Gretchen Whitmer

Jay Inslee

Kathy Hochul

Joe Manchin (if he's not already said this?)

Hillary Clinton

Bill Clinton

Jimmy Carter

[Any Dem member of the House of Representatives]

[Any Dem member of the Senate]

@Joshua Katherine Clark is House Minority Whip, not House Minority Leader
