Quote of the Day
“Pelosi and those other leaders sending a very public signal to Joe Biden that they are not going to keep their concerns quiet anymore. They are going to make them public. They made them public yesterday, and I think the pressure publicly will ratchet up on Joe Biden over the coming days from those people if he does not decide to bow out.”
