There’s a Storm Coming

Jonathan Last: “We are on the verge of a jailbreak in the Democratic party. The signs are everywhere, from weaker polling, to new vulnerabilities on the map, to a fundraising crash, to more reports that Biden is compromised.”

“This is what it looks like when a party has lost confidence in its leader.”

“If Biden had the ability to restore that confidence, then he would have demonstrated it already. Instead, his campaign is trying to freeze the state of play by teasing another interview several days out. The hope is that the prospect of Biden showing command on Monday night will prevent more defections in the meantime.”

“They already used that ploy once. It’s hard to see how it works a second time.”
