    looking at how the article presents its story makes me skeptical because the numbers from the article’s sources say that biden only has 33% support in the senate and 36% in the house, but the article presents it in a way that makes it sound more like 50/50.

    if you analyze the sources along with the article you’ll read that, democrats are split into roughly equal number of 3 camps in the senate and a little bit more lopsided in the house in favor of biden; they are 1) concerned about biden or biden should step down 2) neutral and 3) biden should keep going.

    the more liberal democrats; according to DW-NOMINATE; remain with biden while the more conservative democrats have either called for his resignation, have doubts, or are staying neutral with more of the conservative democrat’s positions being vulnerable to replacement by republicans than the liberal democrats positions in this election cycle.

    and black voters are once again his biggest base of support, as they were in the 2020 election despite trump’s gains with that block since then.
