    I think you may be mistaken if you’re implying that the DNC is the entity that is trying to get Biden to step aside.

    The DNC is currently engaged in an all-out effort to lock Biden in by getting delegates to commit before convention. Those who are trying to get him to step aside, on the other hand, are a bunch of Democratic congressional representatives, donors, and other party figures – not the national party committee itself.

    Edit – just since yesterday, apparently the DNC has dropped its plan to hold the “roll call” by which they were going to get their delegates committed before August. A group of Democratic senators who had written and co-signed a letter in protest of that activity have withdrawn the letter, saying their purpose is achieved (i.e., saying the DNC isn’t going ahead with the bullshit). But now maybe all bets are off since the president has contracted COVID?
