Probably because there were a ton of calls for either of them to be the candidate instead, and they didnt want a split dem race if Biden stayed in.

Its concerning they were supporting him because it shows theyre not in on whatever party leadership talks took place for Biden to step down.

Neither of them are leadership, but I still wouldn’t count on that. I think having a strong show of support makes Biden stepping down look classy instead of like he’s been hooked offstage like a muppet.

You know it was Pelosi wielding that hook.

Nah, this was a Biden call. Hes got 50+ yrs doing this and is in the big chair right now. No one could have unseated him if he wasent okay with it.
