Major Republican elected officials withdrew their endorsements, including Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-mccain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>John McCain<\/a> (R-AZ), the 2008 nominee. House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/paul-ryan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Paul Ryan<\/a> (R-WI) canceled what was to be their first-ever joint appearance. Republicans floated moving Trump\u2019s running mate, Mike Pence, to the top of the ticket, perhaps with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as his new veep pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019m hearing,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rnc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Republican National Committee<\/a> Chairman Reince Priebus told Trump. \u201cEither you\u2019ll lose in the biggest landslide in history, or you can get out of the race and let somebody else run who can win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump stayed in the race. He counterpunched in his second debate with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hillary-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hillary Clinton<\/a> two days later, bringing along women who had accused former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bill-clinton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Bill Clinton<\/a> of varying degrees of sexual misconduct. The news cycle moved on. FBI Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/james-comey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>James Comey<\/a>\u2019s letter about reopening the investigation into the Democratic nominee\u2019s emails was released. <\/p>\n<p>After the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fbi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>FBI<\/a> announced there would be no charges against Hillary Clinton, Ryan issued a statement: \u201cRegardless of this decision, the undisputed finding of the FBI\u2019s investigation is that Secretary Clinton put our nation\u2019s secrets at risk and in doing so compromised our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-got-it-newsmax-reporter-emerald-robinson-national-security-source-confirms-a-piece-of-hardware-has-been-secured-in-germany\/\" title=\"We Got It! - Newsmax Reporter Emerald Robinson: National Security Source Confirms &quot;A Piece of Hardware Has Been Secured&quot; in Germany\">national security<\/a>. She simply believes she\u2019s above the law and always plays by her own rules. \u2026 Let\u2019s bring the Clinton era to an end by voting for Donald Trump on Tuesday.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump won. Priebus became his first White House chief of staff. He is poised to accept the Republican presidential nomination for the third time next week. He is the leading candidate for the presidency nearly eight years later, which is one of the reasons Democrats are so eager to abandon Biden now.<\/p>\n<p>But the NATO summit is this week. The Republican National Convention is next week, with Trump\u2019s vice presidential pick announcement presumably coming sometime in between. Democrats are running out of time to take decisive action against Biden before their own convention in August, assuming he continues to spurn their requests that he withdraw on his own. And Biden, unlike Trump in 2016, is the sitting president.<\/p>\n<p>If Biden does not like the Trump example, former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is a Democrat who took a similar approach. A blackface scandal appeared likely to end Northam\u2019s career. But he didn\u2019t resign. Every Democratic statewide elected official in the line of succession ended up having problems of their own, including a lieutenant governor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/virginia-democrats-justin-fairfax-should-resign-but-we-shouldnt-investigate-him\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>accused of sexual assault<\/a>. If they all resigned, the Republican state speaker of the house would have become governor.<\/p>\n<p>All of the things Democrats can do to pressure Biden out of the race short of getting a majority of convention delegates to back another candidate \u2014\u00a0going public with concerns about his age, starving his campaign of cash, marshaling top party leaders to declare the president unfit for office or unable to win in November \u2014\u00a0have the potential for collateral damage inside the party.<\/p>\n<p>If Biden does not drop out and is not removed, all these activities will only further weaken him in the general election. This was the outcome Democrats sought to avoid by not having a competitive primary process this year.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his Democratic skeptics are playing a game of chicken. The question is who will blink first.<\/p>\n<p>There are important differences between Biden and Trump\u2019s situations. The GOP\u2019s governing class never liked Trump but he developed a strong emotional connection with the party\u2019s base that made it difficult for the Republican establishment to move on from him. Democratic elites protected Biden from the age question until the debate called into question whether that was tenable, while rank-and-file Democrats had always been concerned about it, had hoped for other choices in the primaries, and largely settled for Biden as the nominee without much enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Republicans in 2016 could plausibly hope that Trump would stop speaking like he did in the <em>Access Hollywood <\/em>tape going forward. Democrats have no such assurances that Biden will reliably perform better than he did in the first debate and the 81-year-old is likely to have more senior moments between now and the election, perhaps as soon as his press conference this week.<\/p>\n<p>But if Biden wants a precedent for a presidential primary winner telling partisans calling on him to drop out to pound sand, he can find it in the man who was standing at the other podium on that fateful night in Atlanta. <\/p>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1697634\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1697634\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden is refusing to step down and is challenging Democrats to either stop talking about replacing him or challenge him at the upcoming convention.
