The Biden defectors win an important battle as the Democratic intra-party civil war rages on.
Top Democrats Close In on Biden as Plan to Sew Up Nomination Falters
Democratic leaders delay procedural vote to seal his nomination before the August convention; lawmakers fear steep down-ballot losses
The Democratic coalition backing President Biden showed new signs of cracking Wednesday as top congressional leaders successfully pushed to delay a procedural vote on his nomination and Rep. Adam Schiff of California called for Biden to bow out of the race in the midst of growing party fears of steep down-ballot losses.
The new developments showed that the efforts to oust Biden, while quieter in the immediate aftermath of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, haven’t stopped. They reveal how the president’s grip on his party has slipped, with fundraising anemic and his top lieutenants bending after a threatened revolt over the campaign’s effort to speed his nomination.
