“I do think it's important to listen to the whole team because he's our star pitcher—but he's also our manager, but he's kind of like a co-manager because it's not just the presidency. It's the Senate, it's the House—the whole government is on the line,” says Rep. Jamie Raskin on the letter he wrote to President Joe Biden, urging him to listen to Democrats.

    Dem have waisted a month on this issue instead of going after Trump. Wow.
  • @cds1957
    Media needs to stop focusing on this and do some real journalism!
  • @Pavlovs_Dog
    Governors interviewed at RNC, where asked if they will certify the 2024 election results, and they all have caveats. This should be big news. It needs to be addressed by congress.
  • Let your guest speak Chris! Raskin said he backs Biden. We, the voters chose Joe. Let it be. Quit trying to run the narrative.

    💙💙💙BIDEN2024💙💙💙 NOT Project2025
  • @4everMindful
    “The whole team” doesn’t include the 90% of Democratic VOTERS who chose him?
  • @MrJasonwoodrow
    The GOP will oppose ANY one else being put on the ballot in several states. Don't drop Joe, he has a whole team including Kamala who is very popular with the younger folks. See it through.
  • @niclewis9610
    It's on the people to decide. It's time the team got behind Biden who the people chose as the candidate.
  • @marywhite7699
    I am so tirered of media and Dems who's calling for Biden to step down. Go to your voters and tell them why you also don't want Kamala to step in for Biden or to become the president?🤔
  • @betha8761
    💙😎💙 We are waiting for you all to Unify yourselves. Stand behind who we voted for. And so called Media, get off the subject and focus on our future.
  • @brettfine3444
    Rep. Raskin should consult with Professor Allan Lichtman on this matter.
  • Am sickened by the treatment of Biden who deserves so much better than he's getting from his own people..I highly respect Jaime Raskin who has shown nothing but compassion and a fight for our democracy..people are so stuck on the age ..the number not WHO the person is and What they've done they've put out to pasture...
  • @wnica1
    Shame on you Raskin! It is democracy in action and we chose Biden-Harris!!! You all need to listen!!!
  • @Bigleybig
    Dont force him out if you want to say democracy is on the ballot
  • I am so disappointed in how the Democratic Party is treating our President… one bad debate and they bail …. Shame on these politicians….
  • @jamieholdahl4413
    Shame on you, Raskin!! Joe is our man, and nothing you can do will wave my vote against our president. Go joe
  • @gmb5958
    Joes got 25 pitches left ..,, stay in the race Mr President … we love you !! Biden 2024
  • @epochchange6803
    I have much respect for Rep Raskin. But the "whole team" also consists of 14 million voters he doesn't seem to have any problem with disenfranchising, or leaving out of the conversation at the earliest convenience.
