Are we going to get reporting on your meeting with the Biden people or do I have to keep reading about it only at The Dispatch?

Biden is also meeting with governors and party leaders, etc.

There is a Substack you can subscribe to for free: What Did Joe Biden do Today” that is really informative. That’s where I got the info about the meetings.

Probably not because they were probably brought in as consultants and usually you have to keep those conversations private. I take it as a good sign that the administration is taking feedback from people that understand Haley voters and double haters and undecideds.

Yes, they were in the room, so they need to speak up and tell us what they think.

"As support for the president has begun to collapse in public, things also seem chaotic behind closed doors. Dispatch Politics reported Sunday that prominent Never-Trump Republicans—including former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, lawyer George Conway, veteran Republican operative Mike Murphy, commentators Bill Kristol and Charlie Sykes, and strategist Sarah Longwell—met with top Biden campaign officials to urge the president to step aside."

A bunch of Republicans think he should step aside? Yeah, they have been saying that for a long time. They all also hate Harris.

I would listen to them and say 'thanks' and then let them go whine on their podcasts.

You'd think that their face-to-face impressions of a doddering senile old man would be the lede.

It just feels like they're trying to hide something from us.

Can you imagine the Washington Post allowing the NYT to report on things the Post reporters were doing and not reporting on it themselves?

The only thing I can infer is that the meeting didn't give ammunition for the preferred narrative, so it gets memory holed.

Doesn't sound like they met with Biden. Just his campaign advisers.

Nobody meets with Biden, especially recently and in his current state. Meeting with campaign advisers is still significant.
