Progressives circle wagons around embattled Biden

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has expressed that he is open to someone besides Biden at the top of the ticket, according to Axios, while Sen. Pete Walsh (D-Vt.) was the first in the upper chamber to outright call for him to halt his campaign.
46% : He has been adamant that he plans to go forward with his White House campaign, a decision he insisted is motivated by keeping Trump out of the Oval Office for the second time.
41% : With the clock ticking toward Election Day, many in the progressive movement are also planning around the possibility that they could take the heat if Biden falls short against Trump, despite his multiple felonies, former impeachments and other political vulnerabilities that make him a polarizing choice.
36% : The question is: For how long?Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and the rest of the Squad are defending the 81-year-old president as several of their moderate colleagues on Capitol Hill have called for him to step down.
20% : "The left and everyone associated with it is terrified of being blamed for Biden losing to Trump," said the progressive close to Ocasio-Cortez.
