Summary
Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser, has written a book revealing details about the party’s internal discussions and concerns about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline in the 2024 election. Li claims that many party figures, including Adam Schiff, expressed reservations about Biden’s abilities behind the scenes but publicly defended him. She also alleges that the party’s research showed that no other candidate had the capital to challenge Biden, and that Kamala Harris was considered a weak candidate. Li’s book includes previously unseen polling data and details about the party’s fears of going against Biden.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Lindy Li’s book reveals the familiar pattern of party insiders expressing concerns behind the scenes while publicly supporting the president. Adam Schiff’s text message to Li is a prime example of this. The party’s research and polling data also follow a predictable pattern, showing that no other candidate had the capital to challenge Biden. The loyalty to Biden, particularly from figures like James Clyburn, is another familiar theme. The fact that Li’s book includes previously unseen polling data is not surprising, given the party’s tendency to keep such information private.
The observation that the party’s fears of going against Biden were driven by self-interest rather than anti-Trumpism is a telling one.
