While Democrats publicly put on a brave and confident front backing Biden in the 2024 race for the White House, behind the scenes and under the protection of anonymity, they're terrified.
In the Washington Post, an unnamed Democrat detailed "the worst case scenario."
One Democratic lawmaker, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, raised the prospect that Biden could secure the nomination, then have to drop out for health reasons. “The worst-case scenario is we get past the nominating process with President Biden as the nominee, and then he’s no longer able to continue on as the nominee,” the lawmaker said. “That’s the nightmare scenario for Democrats."
Just last week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi waffled when asked about a second Biden term and refused to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as a capable running mate.
