Key quote:

Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.), a vulnerable House Democrat, is calling on President Biden to step aside in the 2024 race, becoming the eighth lawmaker in the lower chamber to publicly urge the incumbent to withdraw.

Ryan — who represents New York’s 18th Congressional District — told The New York Times in an interview published Wednesday that he does not believe Biden is the strongest Democrat to take on former President Trump in November.

“I’d be doing a grave disservice if I said he was the best candidate to serve this fall,” Ryan told the Times. “For the good of our country, for my two young kids, I’m asking Joe Biden to step aside in the upcoming election and deliver on the promise to be a bridge to a new generation of leaders.”

    But George Clooney just told him to quit, maybe Whoopi Goldberg is next. He has to listen to Guinan, right?

      Unfortunately it seems like everyone is listening to Q right now. We’d probably be better off just trying to have John De Lancie erase someone from reality.

      (Disclaimer: I don’t actually know what powers Q has, but my understanding leads me to believe the answer is: “Yes”)
