    “To argue that Biden staying in is good for Dems is to argue that you have a better grasp of the electoral situation than Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries,” wrote progressive organizer Aaron Regunberg, a vocal proponent of replacing Biden at the top of the ticket.

    The reported conversations between Biden and leading Democrats underscore the extent to which previously marginal calls for the incumbent to step aside have quickly spread to every level of the party, from grassroots activists to leadership to delegates to the party’s convention.

        Of what?

        People’s personal opinions that go against all the data and metrics available?
