Democratic Party chairs in 7 battleground states reaffirm support for Biden
In an open letter to Democrats obtained by USA TODAY, the party chairs argued Democrats have a unified message of "freedom, democracy, and an economy that works for working people" that can beat Trump's "MAGA threat of abortion bans, dictatorship, and giveaways to billionaires."
"But right now, many voters aren’t hearing that from our party. We understand the anxiety. But the best antidote to political anxiety is taking action," they wrote in the letter. "When we all lend our voices to contrasting the Democratic vision — from Biden-Harris straight down the ticket — with the MAGA nightmare, we win."
The letter is signed by state Democratic Party chairs Ben Wikler of Wisconsin, Lavora Barnes of Michigan, Sharif Street of Pennsylvania, Anderson Clayton of North Carolina, Nikema Williams of Georgia, Yolanda Bejarano of Arizona and Daniele Monroe-Moreno of Nevada. The seven states are likely to decide the outcome of the 2024 election.
Of course, the DNC Chairman is also a big Biden backer and is ultimately one of the people with the most power in this debate. Without the DNC on board, it is hard to see how the dump Biden campaign wins. As discussed yesterday, Biden seems to have the Clintons working behind the scenes, likely to thwart what is being seen as an Obama led revolt. He has the endorsement of the Squad leader AOC, Biden and team have the endorsement of the Black Caucus, and the leader of the Hispanic Caucus just came out this weekend for Biden. Meanwhile many on the far left, such as Bernie Sanders are on his side, as is Chris Coons and John Fetterman from the Senate.
Update:
Representative Jim Clyburn (D., S.C.) doubled down on his support for President Biden on Sunday and warned that Democrats are likely to lose the presidency if the party holds an open convention to select its nominee.
The 35 Democrats (as of this morning), big money, and the media are leading the coup against the President and Party leadership. But contrary to what the media is trying to suggest, they are not the only game in the house. They are now competing with those who are backing Biden and many of those are growing louder. This went from a revolt and coup straight into civil war.
I think it is time to call it just that.
He dropped out...
Joe Biden on X: "https://t.co/RMIRvlSOYw" / X
On Sept 16th early voting can commence in Pennsylvania and a few other states shortly after. 59 days. They need to have the name of the nominees printed and ballots mailed by then... The Civil War can't last long... Thank God the bullet missed. Like Joe said, commence with the battol box and may the best man win.
Clyburn's endorsement is being almost ignored by the media. Where it is reported, it is simply being said that Clyburn is largely against an open convention, and sort of glossing over the idea that Clyburn gave his endorsement of Biden sticking in the race.
So Manchin saying he should drop out. Front page!
Clyburn saying he should stay in and Democrats should rally around him. Crickets...
Believe it or not, but I don't think the media is playing the news straight here?
