BALTIMORE, MD — Progressive leaders are increasingly frustrated with Democrats now eager for President Joe Biden to step aside after months of being ridiculed for suggesting the president wasn’t the party’s best bet for November.
“Even the New York Times editorial board is out here saying Biden should step down, and nobody’s calling them traitors in the same way,” Abbas Alawieh, who leads the Uncommitted National Movement, told NOTUS. “I think it is really a question of who gets to have an opinion on the strategy of the Democratic Party.”
Not that long ago, mainstream Democrats chastised those in the “uncommitted” movement for pointing out that Biden was bleeding support over his policy on the war in Gaza and handing Donald Trump a win in states like Michigan, Alawieh said. Now, every day brings news of another Democrat ready to dump Biden.
