This is the best summary I could come up with:


But in the event Mr. Biden drops out, they would be vaulted from the obscurity of extras at a quadrennial television extravaganza into a group with the fate of the party — and, in the view of many Democrats, the future of the country — on their shoulders.

But forced to make a decision in the event that Mr. Biden withdraws, Mr. Martin said he would take a step back and assess the entire field rather than immediately vote for an alternative.

In a speech in Wisconsin on Friday, and in an ABC News interview that aired later in the day, Mr. Biden made it clear he had no intention of withdrawing.

Amaad Rivera-Wagner, the chief of staff to the mayor of Green Bay, Wis., and a second-time Biden delegate, recalled receiving death threats in 2020 because people believed he had rigged the election.

Dave Jacobson, a delegate from Florida who is one year younger than Mr. Biden, called last Thursday’s debate “devastating” but was heartened by the president’s more energetic rally the next day and remains steadfastly in support.

June Kim, Eli Murray, Andrew Park, Helmuth Rosales, Elena Shao and Amy Schoenfeld Walker contributed reporting.


The original article contains 1,237 words, the summary contains 196 words. Saved 84%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Weird how someone reading from a teleprompter and answering questions that were decided by his staff in advance makes them feel better, and the polls showing Biden losing support, makes his supporters feel better after that debate. Almost like they’re in a cult.

“These Obscure Democrats”

Fucking really, NYT? Delegates. It’s delegates, everybody.

Doctors hate it! These obscure Democrats could soon become kingmakers with this one weird trick!
