The Democrat Party ‘Coup’ Against Biden Subsides, for Now

For the moment, President Biden may have blocked what some call a “coup attempt” from his own party to remove him as their presidential nominee, but all the criticism reveals a continued lack of confidence among Democrats. 

The president survived a crucial day when Democrats in the Senate and House did not announce mass defections after private meetings, but the party is far from unified behind its nominee. The mood was summed up by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) who was asked by reporters, “Are you all on the same page?” to which Cohen replied, “No…Not even in the same book.” 

A seventh House Democrat has called for Biden to drop out, although he did get an endorsement from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who repeated the same line to reporters three times: “As I’ve said before, I’m with Joe.”

Democratic leaders had supposedly agreed to stop talking about their discontent with Biden publicly, but that didn’t stop Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) from becoming the first Democratic senator to tell CNN he doesn’t believe Biden can beat Donald Trump.
