While Mr. Biden and his team publicly insist that he is staying in the race, privately people close to him have said that he is increasingly accepting that he may not be able to, and some have begun discussing dates and venues for a possible announcement that he is stepping aside.

One factor that may stretch out a decision: Advisers believe that Mr. Biden would not want to do it before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel visits Washington on Wednesday at the initiative of Republicans to address Congress, unwilling to give the premier the satisfaction given their strained relations lately over the Gaza war.

      Biden could do that with his executive power.

      But the depressing thing is, they are probably going to replace Biden with the most Zionist Democrat they can find.

      AIPAC will ensure it.

      And while they’re at it, why not hand over Trump for his support of the Saudis’ genocide against Yemen, the family separation policy, and the hundreds of thousands of covid deaths caused by his malice, corruption and deliberate goal of withholding aid from Democrat-voting areas?
