The wealthy Democratic activist George Soros’ son, Alex, endorsed President Joe Biden on Wednesday and advised his party to “knock it off” when it came to demands for Biden’s resignation.
“Let’s run against Donald Trump—the existential threat—instead of against ourselves! “Harris-Biden 2024!” he said on Wednesday.
This week, there has been a virtual civil war inside the Democratic Party between those who want Biden to withdraw and those who want him to continue running. Nothing demonstrated it better on Wednesday than when actor and Democratic activist George Clooney, who had just held a fundraiser for the president a few weeks prior, wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times demanding that he resign.
“The Joe Biden I saw at the fund-raiser three weeks ago was not the Joe ‘huge F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010.” That’s horrible to say. Not even the Joe Biden of 2020 was he. Clooney wrote, “He was the same man we all saw in the debate.”
Was he worn out? Indeed. A cold? Perhaps. However, the leaders of our party must cease claiming that 51 million people were blind to what we just witnessed. We’ve chosen to disregard every red flag because we’re all so afraid of a second Trump administration,” he said.
Not many well-known Democratic lawmakers have called on Joe Biden to resign. For example, when challenged by reporters on Capitol Hill, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained unwavering in her support of the president, as Breitbart News reported on Wednesday.
Pelosi said to ABC Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott, “I’m not having this conversation with you or anybody else about what I talk to the president about, with all due respect.”
Scott said, “Do you think that—” Pelosi cut him off, saying, “I never do.”
Scott shouted back, “Do you believe that he was waiting so long?” Pelosi, who was visibly upset, responded by stating she would not discuss the “fate of our nation” in the hallway.
After Scott persisted in pressing her, Pelosi eventually said, “Am I speaking English to you? At this time, I will not be speaking in the hallway about anything.
