Yeah, there's no avoiding it at this point. Biden has to go.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference.
When the history of this extraordinary two-week period of American politics is written, the fingerprints of Obama and Pelosi will be far more apparent than currently known, people familiar with the matter tell CNN, as the Democratic elders have served as a guidepost for a party in panic.
In conversations with some Democrats over the past two weeks, Obama has swatted away the notion that he could push Biden one direction or the other even if he wanted to, which underscores their long-running complicated, yet loyal, relationship.
Biden has written that he felt Obama was not encouraging of his jumping in late to the Democratic primaries in the months after his son Beau died in 2015.
Though Obama believes that he was trying to help his then-vice president focus on his grief and not wade into what would have been an incredibly hard primary campaign against Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, that may not be how another conversation would go.
The infamous video of Obama leading Biden off stage, people familiar say, was more a function of the former president wanting to leave.
The original article contains 1,482 words, the summary contains 226 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Good bot!
How the fuck would anyone know if Obama and Pelosi had these conversations with Biden? You don't think Obama, Pelosi, and Biden have the ability to have truly private conversations?
Everyone needs to quit getting trolled by the rumor mill...
CNN is a GOP shill.
