Rep. Cohen notes discontent after Dem caucus critical of Biden's run

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) expressed discontent within the party over President Biden's status as the nominee in November when he walked out of a critical caucus meeting at DCCC headquarters.

A reporter asked the lawmaker if Democrats were “all on the same page,” and a dejected Cohen replied, “No.”

“We're not even in the same book,” he added.

The marching orders seem to have gone out, even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has proven to be a reliable mouthpiece for the establishment of the party she once ran against.

The socialist waiter he told reporters on Monday“The matter is closed. [Biden] he reiterated that this morning, he reiterated it to the public. Joe Biden is our nominee, he is not leaving this race. He's in this race and I support him.”

Still, it seems there are people who are concerned about Biden's mental acuity.

Axios reporter Andrew Solender posted on X: “Rep. Steve Cohen tells me some people said at the Dem Caucus meeting that Biden should retire.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) have aligned themselves with Biden, and loyalists are starting to fall in line.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) flip-flopped on Tuesday, voicing his support for Biden after privately asking the president to step down over the weekend.

“[Biden] he said he's going to stay, he's our nominee and we're all going to support him,” Nadler told reporters before Tuesday's meeting.

Biden supporters were quick to pounce on Cohen: There are few things more enjoyable than watching the left eat its own:

This is treason. They owe their loyalty to Biden.

We cannot trust him; he walks stiffly, uses a cane and wears glasses.

Always remember that rich white people, regardless of party, would never be hurt by another Trump administration.

They should have read the label when they bought Joe Biden! It clearly states “no Joe Biden returns, all sales final”!!
