for a democratic members of congress have so far called on bivens as step aside. say most prominent is virginia senator mark warner, who is reportedly raleigh in congress democrats to urge by them to quit. the us liberal media appears to be right there with him. there was nothing in this interview. it is calming nerves of jittery democrats, who fear that joe biden is on a trajectory to lose this race to lose to donald trump. what we're hearing from democrats, is it concerned about one bad night? they are concerned, the joe biden doesn't have what it takes, not only to continue governing, but then he has what it takes to win. like, i guess going to be honest, i mean, everybody comes on the air and says, all this great stuff. but behind the scenes is full scale panic, and people are passing around legal memos, a pdf of flying back and forth on whatsapp trying to figure out what are the options, how can you replace bite and well former stuff for, for joe biden and our to contribute our charter read says the u. s. leader is not fit to take office once more. and the am

many undecided voters as her vice presidential nominee , and that it will be approved by the congress democratic party. so i think we 're going to see democratic candidates try to move toward the center, try to win over moderate republicans and independents, especially in key states that aren't yet i think we'll see that probably between today and riding of the democratic party, democrats will rally around vice president harris. we've already seen, of course, that president biden has endorsed her as his successor. not surprisingly, we also saw that a number of top elected officials from the democratic party, including several who could be potential challengers for the nomination, have said they ... support her, that they will not oppose it. i think vice president harris still has plenty of time, and she's going to inherit the biden campaign, she's going to inherit the funds, and it's a very large amount that's been raised, so that's another advantage for her as a candidate because she's already been with him. in the bulletin, she can simply pick up where he left off. i think some of the motivati

against it -- every single democrat in congress voted against it. everything the one. -- every single one. and then in 2020, every major democratic candidate running to replace donald trump made raising taxes on the wealthy a centerpiece of their presidential campaigns, including joe biden. enough of the tax doom loop, candidates were willing to say no to billionaire donors. i provided --after biden won and a deadly pandemic rattled our economy to its core, biden and democrats actually delivered. we passed tax policies that broke with decades of bad economic and political orthodoxy. and in doing so, we helped fuel the best economic recovery on the planet. in 2022, we raised taxes on corporations for the first time in 30 years. yeah.. [applause] congress passed my 15% minimum tax on billion-dollar corporations. this tax leapfrogged the usual tax loopholes. no more dragging to your shareholders -- no more bragging to your shareholders about how much money you made and then turning around to the irs and saying we are to report to have to pay anything --

congress have quotes point to step done. but to put that in a context, sell 250 democratic members in congress. so this, at this stage is a very small minority, the bulk of clearly keeping quiet or indeed or backing bite. and so, although we have reports of pressure amounting on biden, and no doubt it is that would still be more helpful perhaps if some names were attached to the speculation that is rife in the us media. well, let's just say well, isn't speculative, is this t v ad that is getting a run on one of the major news channels in the us? that is going to combine, isn't it because they will be that public sentiment backing that particular advert? a yes indeed. and it will be running on what is reported to be his favorite stations, so he'd be watching it in isolation that is vacation home in delaware. but mentioning that particular advert as well, this is another issue. nobody knows who financed it. nobody knows who's actually made the said, but the finances only have to be really revealed within 3 months. so it's yet another anonymous attack on the by didn't candidacy. and this is causin

you have 250 democrats in congress between the house and senate. biden to step down. you are talking about less than 10%. fewer democrats have called on president biden to step down than counts on which donald trump was convicted, 34. the reason why people are asking this and we're having this robust discussion within our party we believe donald trump is dangerous. if donald trump were just -- if he were say ronald reagan or george bush or someone like that this discussion would be as robust. g6 members and several others expressed the same thing including several talking about this several -- >> sandra: democrats, when they meet behind closed doors, they come out truly believing that joe biden is the only candidate that they can put forward that can beat donald trump. >> i didn't say that. >> sandra: i will give you a chance to correct that if it's not fair. matt, first your thoughts. >> this is why i believe the democrats say how democracy is at stake. they don't believe it. their words don't match their actions. if they really believed that the d

>> reporter: the growing group of democrats in congress that have real anxiety about joe biden remaining on the ticket. it's important to keep in mind that nine members out of more than 230 or so members of the house and senate and democratic party is not a very big number. the bigger problem for joe biden is what he eve been hearing behind the scenes. there's a growing number of congressional democrats that have continued to show that they're very concerned about biden's current state in this race, and they're afraid he cannot beat donald trump in a general election. what the president has done here by this very public stance that he is not getting out of the race, he's going to force these members who have these real concerns out of the shadows and force them on the record. this is the first time since the debate took place on thursday that we're going to see lawmakers back here on capitol hill where they'll be forced to answer these questions in front of our cameras, in front of reporters and on the record. this is not something that congress democrats wanted to see happen. even those

is that today, 13 more members of congress, democrats, 13 more, 12 in the house, one in the senate. that brings the number to 45, who have now said that president biden has to go. so there's an awful lot of tumult going on here. okay. but the latest memo, he's not getting out of the race, the latest memo from the campaign just today that nbc news obtained is that he is recovering from covid. he's going to get back on the campaign trail next week. could that persuade these dozens of leading democrats to change their opinion about him? and if he should rerun, flip a coin? i mean, if he goes out there and he campaigns hard and he keeps everything together. yeah, it could put these guys at bay if he if he founders and falls apart, it'll only increase the number of people who are demanding that he go. we know this much that over the last few weeks, the campaign has only received 25, 25% of the money they expected to get no money, no campaign. so there's an awful lot going pressure wise. not only that, and now people are saying donors are saying to the members of congress, we're not givin

[cheers and applause] americans want jobs and on january 28, i put before congress a plan to create jobs, and if it passed back then, 500,000 more americans would be at work right now, but in a nation that demands action, congress has become the master of inaction, and it was not always this way. i heard president ford tonight, i served in congress 22 years ago under him. back then, we did not get personal. we put the people above everything else. heck, we did not even own blow dryers back in those days. at my first inauguration, i said that people did not send us to bigger -- bigger -- bicker. i extended my hand to the congressional leaders, democratic leaders, and they bit it. the house leadership has not changed in 38 years. it is a body caught in a hope

there were democratic members of congress, democratic voters, democratic donors to go back and forth on it. i talked to one major democratic donor tonight who said that he thought it was overwhelmingly positive tonight. he thinks biden should step aside but he said you know, the democratic party is paralyzed right now because what they saw tonight was good enough and you know, that is helpful to biden in terms of his desire to stay where he is. for the time being, he has held off the flow of people calling for him to step aside. we will see if that changes but you know, the further this goes along, the less time there is for another candidate to get in there and get going and you know, that is part of the fight going on right now. we heard nancy pelosi this week , the former speaker of the house. biden has said he was going to stick in. he had made his decision and she kept saying you know, let me know when you decide. she is opening the door. i think a lot of members were waiting to see what happens in the press conference and even a member like himes, but out his release right at t
