How about you first of all pull your head out of your ass and understand the existential nature of the situation, Biden? It’s starting to look like you’re one of the last people in the party that just doesn’t fucking get it. We’re probably not going to have real elections anymore if you lose to Trump, and you don’t seem to be taking that seriously. You’ve done fuck-all over your term to actually combat the rising fascism in this country, and we’re in this situation in large part because of that. Get out of the fucking way and let someone who will actually treat the situation with the seriousness it deserves have the ticket.

Let that person step up now. Nothing is stopping them. The fact is that nobody has as much unified support as Biden.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
He followed up the letter with a phone interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show, on which he insisted that “average Democrats” want him to stay in the race and said he was “frustrated” by the calls from party officials for him to step aside.
Many Democrats are arguing the attention needs to be focused instead on the former president’s felony conviction in the hush money case and pending federal charges in his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
In an effort to “get on the same page,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is convening lawmakers for private meetings before he shows his own preference, according to a person familiar with the situation and granted anonymity to discuss it.
Still other members, including Rep. Maxine Waters of California and Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia, both leaders in the Congressional Black Caucus, spoke forcefully in support of Biden, as did Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
Behind the scenes is Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, who continues to field calls from lawmakers seeking advice about the situation, and is widely viewed as the one to watch for any ultimate decision on Biden’s future because of her proximity to the president and vote-counting skills in party politics.
House Democrats have had some of their better fundraising days yet, including a $3 million haul last Friday night after the debate at an event with former President Barack Obama and Jeffries in New York City.
The original article contains 1,321 words, the summary contains 248 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is the kind of leadership he needs to show to convince everyone he's still viable, but a letter on it's own is not going to cut it.
I hear he called in on Morning Joe as well, I need to run that down.
Edit Found the clip:

I don't watch it, but apparently Biden watches it daily to the point it's like Fox and Friends for trump.
After the debate the couple who hosts split on what to do. And the one that wasn't still Biden didn't show to a taping after.
There's been a lot of articles about Morning Joe and Biden recently
This is just pigheaded stubbornness.
