Mary McNamara: If the Democrats want Biden to drop out, they should follow Pelosi's lead, not Clooney's

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

26% : Of course, should Biden remain in the race, Clooney will have handed Trump a campaign ad that no money could buy.
25% : Biden would have to campaign on behalf of whomever were to replace him, and he would have to convince voters that he was not pushed off the slate by Trump, the media or poll-obsessed politicians.
13% : In light of the president's disastrous performance in his June 27 debate with Trump, many columnists, pundits, donors, celebrities and politicians, including some of Biden's former supporters in the House and Senate, are arguing the same thing.
12% : If not, then all those people who claim to want to defeat Trump and preserve democracy are going to have to stop calling for Biden's ouster and rally the hell around him.
