Waters stated on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Present:
Properly, yeah, I can’t let you know very a lot. , you’ve introduced that, however I need you to know that, , I’m not going to um speak about what occurred within the assembly, however I do need to let you know how strongly I really feel about help for Biden, how I consider uh that this Democratic Social gathering will ultimately come collectively. We don’t have that many members we’re speaking about, he ought to step down. Don’t overlook there are 213 Democrats and also you speak about about 9 members and I don’t suppose we now have a protracted technique to go. Uh We’re not actually divided and so I’m hopeful and I do consider that we’re gonna be fantastic and I do consider that Biden is competent and able to being and proceed to be the President Of The US of America. And so I’m gonna converse loudly and clearly and I’m gonna get on the street and I’m gonna go into communities and inform the story about what he has accomplished and the way he has achieved a lot since he’s been the President Of The US of America.
Rep. Waters was appropriate. The media spent the previous weekend promising that the floodgates would open on the opposition to President Biden as soon as members of Congress bought again to the Capitol, and that hasn’t occurred. Up to now, there are 9 Home Democrats saying that Biden ought to step down. That’s 9 out of 200 and 13. That’s not precisely a tidal wave of opposition to President Biden.
If Biden assures the nervous members on the Hill, he will likely be fantastic. The Democratic Social gathering will unify round him, and Democrats can get again all the way down to the enterprise of defeating Donald Trump.
The media appears to have overblown the opposition to Biden persevering with because the Democratic nominee.
