It’s just being reported that Chuck Schumer is about to flip on Joe Biden being the party’s nominee.
His flip apparently isn’t public yet, but he’s been telling donors that he’s open to someone else being the nominee other than Joe Biden.
This is despite Schumer saying publicly that Biden has his full support.
Here’s more from Axios:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is privately signaling to donors that he’s open to a Democratic presidential ticket that isn’t led by President Biden, Axios has learned.In public, Schumer has been insistent that he is “for Joe.” In private, he’s singing a different tune.
Over the last twelve days, Schumer has been listening to donors’ ideas and suggestions about the best way forward for the party, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The majority leader is one of a handful of Democrats, including former President Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has the political and personal standing to convince Biden to step aside. Even so, Biden can still dig in and the delegates are pledged to him.
A Schumer spokesman declined to comment.
Both before and after the debate, Schumer’s famous flip phone burned up with donors, sharing their views. Schumer has been listening.
Schumer hasn’t indicated who, if anyone, might be a more viable candidate than Biden, a man he served with in the Senate for 20 years.
His focus is on defeating former President Trump and retaining the Democratic majority in the Senate.
In addition to donors, he is also receiving feedback from his fellow senators.
