CNN anchor Jake Tapper revealed on X Tuesday that Democrat governors of multiple states held a conference call Monday to discuss their concerns about Joe Biden’s atrocious presidential debate performance.

The governors reportedly agreed they wanted to speak with Biden directly, not Kamala Harris.

Democrat presidential candidate Marianne Williamson released a video Tuesday calling for an open convention and suggesting Democrats replace Joe Biden.
Every day this goes on we’re ceding ground to Donald Trump. We’re holding the most critical campaign of our lifetimes hostage to the personal fortunes of one man, while those who could end the travesty are too cowardly to do so.

Even ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted it’s “legitimate” to ask if Biden’s suffering from a mental condition.
Whoa! Did Nancy Pelosi just signal a pivot away from her stalwart defense of Joe Biden?
