'This isn't a decision for Lord almighty': Democratic Senator reacts to Biden's ABC News interview - Velshi - MSNBC



With five Democratic lawmakers now publicly calling for Biden to step down, Congressional Democrats are planning to meet over the next few days to discuss the future of Biden’s 2024 campaign. Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont joins Ali Velshi to discuss what’s at stake and the most important considerations for Democrats during this “unprecedented” moment. “We as a party have a loyalty to one another and to the party,” Sen. Welch says. “But the party has to have, first and foremost, the loyalty to serving the people of this country. And the job for our party is to defeat Donald Trump.” - Aired on 07/07/2024.

... 2% of them want to overide the vast majority of us that elected Joe Biden. I will remember them at their next primaries. By gawd bet on it. Warner in particular.

Though I'm not worried about my Democratic senators - my problem is that my Rep. is Stefanik who I've voted against every time she ran.
