US politics – Meeting of top Democrats doesn’t resolve question of Biden to stay or go

First, the non-political bit:

A big question for markets right now. If Biden stays on it seems to gift the Presidency to Trump. Most market analysts expect this’ll lead to higher deficits, higher inflation, and a lower US dollar.

OK, onto the politics. Axios:

  • A pre-planned meeting of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC)
  • Much of the meeting was taken up by members expressing their irritation and misgivings toward Biden and his team
  • Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) alerted members of his statement calling for Biden to withdraw from the presidential race

Here is the link, ungated, to the Axios report.

What a mess. These folks need to sort it out if they want to stay in the contest.

Trump is doing well just letting this all play out.
