It's not new but more urgent now.

But for months, Obama has shared with Biden and friends his deep concerns about Trump’s political strengths and the real possibility he is elected again in November. In December, during a private lunch at the White House, Obama discussed the need for Biden to empower his campaign apparatus, suggesting he install a more senior-level decision-maker at the Wilmington headquarters. The next month, Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and Mike Donilon left the White House to serve as campaign chair and chief strategist, respectively.

Have had a change of mind for President Biden.
I just don’t know if anyone can “perform” to their liking. Mean while republicans are sitting back licking their lips and trump sits in his castle staying mostly quiet.

The NYT and WaPo are more interested in Biden's horse voice at a debate then Trump raping 2 12 year old girls.

The corporate media, bowing to their masters orders.

...have called an emergency meetup at Peter Baker's place...

Some are saying.

... Blaming Biden for "creating a distraction."

I scanned the Jeet Heer piece and choked on the lack of self-awareness. Between that and the absolutely b*****t Atlantic piece from Anne Applebaum ("Time To Roll The Dice" -- which I not entirely convinced isn't satire, it's that nuts)...

My only consolation is seeing what feels like a growing frustration with the media among brick-and-mortar friends.

A hysterical distraction. That's all it is.

Then piledrive his fat head into the concrete and let him get crushed by the weight of his own bloated ego

Because then Trump’s diarrhea-filled diaper will be right in Joe’s face for a moment. Yuck!
