Waters mentioned on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Present:
Properly, yeah, I am unable to let you know a lot. You already know, you have already introduced this, however I would like you to know that I am not going to speak about what occurred within the assembly, however I do need to let you know how strongly I really feel about supporting Biden and the way a lot I imagine this Democratic Get together finally will come collectively. We do not have that many members and he ought to step down. Do not forget that the Democratic Get together has 213 and also you’re speaking about 9 members, I feel we’ve an extended strategy to go. Properly, we’re not likely divided, so I am hopeful and I do imagine that we will be okay and I do imagine that Biden is succesful and able to serving and remaining president of america of America. So I’ll converse loud and clear, and I’ll hit the highway and go into communities and inform the story of what he is performed since he was president and the way he is achieved a lot.
Rep. Waters is true. The media promised over the weekend that the floodgates in opposition to President Biden would open as soon as members of Congress returned to the Capitol, however that didn’t occur. To date, 9 Home Democrats have mentioned Biden ought to step down. That is nine-thirteenths of 200 and 13. This isn’t precisely a wave of opposition to President Biden.
If Biden reassures nervous members of Congress, he can be positive. The Democratic Get together will rally round him, and Democrats can get again to work defeating Donald Trump.
Opposition to Biden remaining the Democratic nominee seems to be exaggerated by the media.
