UK government ministers insist Dems ditch Biden to preserve integrity of “special relationship”.
There was widespread panic amongst the party after Biden’s car crash of a debate performance, during which he looked dazed, confused, and barely managed to garble out his sentences on multiple occasions.
This prompted a wave of alarm within the inner circle of Biden’s party, with even top cheerleaders like MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough admitting Biden is toast.

However, it’s unclear how Democrats would move to get rid of Biden given that he has already won the primary vote, but they’re probably going to try anyway.
Party donors and Congressmen have told Biden “he has a week to win over Democrats or they will move to oust him after a disastrous performance in the first presidential debate,” reports the Telegraph.
One congressman told Matthew Yglesias, a US political blogger: “I think the president has one week to prove he is not dead.”
David Plouffe, who managed Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, told CNN: “It’s kind of a Defcon 1 moment…they are three years apart, but they seemed about 30 years apart tonight.”
David Axelrod, another Obama adviser, said: “There are going to be discussions about whether he should continue.”
Mark Buell, a well-known Democratic donor, said: “Do we have time to put somebody else in there?”
UK government ministers have reportedly also insisted that the White House ditch Biden and replace him with a younger candidate in order to preserve the integrity of the “special relationship”.
Illustrating the severity of Biden’s precarious candidacy, the New York Times officially called on Biden to step down in an opinion piece published on behalf of the editorial board.
“There are Democratic leaders better equipped to present clear, compelling and energetic alternatives to a second Trump presidency,” The NYT said.
“There is no reason for the party to risk the stability and security of the country by forcing voters to choose between Mr Trump’s deficiencies and those of Mr Biden,” said the editorial.
At this late stage, it would be virtually impossible for a challenger to democratically replace Biden, meaning he would have to agree to step aside having been forced to do so by top Democrats.
