Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed over the weekend that all her constituents are confused about why some in the party and the media are trying to force President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, saying that they all continue to support Biden.
Dingell made the remarks during a Sunday panel discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union” while talking about the fallout from Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
“I have heard many people express their concern. They’re worried about democracy,” she said. “I think that one of the things you have to really understand, even my colleagues are worried about what’s going to happen and what will happen to democracy.”
She continued: “But I will tell you, I had people in parades shout at me: ‘Tell him to stay. We have his back.’ Union halls: ‘Why are people saying this?'”

She added that Democrats needed to change the subject instead of continuing to focus on Biden’s cognitive decline.
“We got to stop talking about this. We spent a whole week. Republicans are having a great time,” she said, later adding that “I now am going to go forget the debate.”
