Biden Now ‘Receptive’ To Ending Presidential Campaign, Greenlighting Harris For Nomination: Report

President Joe Biden is now reportedly being “receptive” to the idea of ending his presidential campaign and greenlighting the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the party’s nominee.

Multiple sources within the Democrat Party told CNN that the tone of discussions with Biden are beginning to change as more and more Democrats urge him to step down.

“The private conversations with the Hill are continuing,” a top Democrat adviser told CNN. “He’s being receptive. Not as defiant as he is publicly.”

“He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win?'” the adviser said. “It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening.”

Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would be open to the idea of stepping down if he was diagnosed with a “medical condition.”

The news comes as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) reportedly urged Biden in a private meeting to end his re-election campaign.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) publicly called on Biden to end his campaign early on Wednesday, saying that the U.S. was “at a crossroads.”

“A second Trump presidency will undermine the very foundation of our democracy, and I have serious concerns about whether the President can defeat Donald Trump in November,” he said.

He acknowledged that while Biden was the one who had to make the decision, it was time for him “to pass the torch” and “secure his legacy of leadership” by allowing another Democrat the opportunity to beat Trump.

“I will do everything I can to help them succeed,” Schiff said. “There is only one singular goal: defeating Donald Trump. The stakes are just too high.”

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
