After a lot of media hype (that I dismissed as wishcasting) yesterday that Biden was preparing to step down, the Biden campaign is doubling down and announcing that he is not withdrawing.

And if he sticks to his guns, Dems may not be able to do much about it. The party depends on the whims of an angry and somewhat confused elderly man. And that’s bad enough, but the real battle may just be getting started.

The coup has lined up nearly every powerful and influential Dem behind replacing Biden.
