It is the 3rd of July, 24. There are 124 days to go until the last votes are cast in the U.S.

presidential election in November. 47 days remain until the Democratic National Convention.

This is the warning.

The crisis that is facing the Democratic Party is unprecedented in the modern history of American politics.

What we are seeing is something that is a worst-case scenario playing out, but thankfully,

for Democrats, there is still time to fix it. In the end, the only thing that matters

is defeating Donald Trump. And the reality is that President Biden, sometime within the next week,

is highly likely to withdraw from the race because his position is cracking.

More and more Democrats are getting ready to call for him to step aside,

to announce his political retirement, to open up the Democratic National Convention.

If that happens, it will be one of the most fascinating, incandescently exciting things

that any of us have ever seen in American politics. What it means is the delegates at the Democratic

National Convention will choose the nominee. They will be released from their obligation

on the first ballot to vote for President Biden. Now, there are some people like Jim Clyburn,

who is one of the architects of the delusion and the denialism around President Biden, who has made clear that if it's not

his guy Biden, then it will be Vice President Harris. Nonsense. The reality is that we don't live

in a monarchy. And between the two parties, if one of them were to be a monarchist party,

it's not the Democratic Party. So this idea that there will be an anointment, a laying of

hands-on that Joe Biden picks, that James Clyburn picks, wrong. They may have influence. They may be power brokers,

but in the end, it is the delegates who will choose. And they will choose from among a small group

of candidates, governors, who are next generation Democrats, who will have an opportunity to stand before the delegates and

speak. Lay a vision out. Gretchen Whitmer, West Moore, Governor Andy Bershear, all of these people
