A new book about Biden’s decline and the 2024 campaign has tons of damning quotes from Democratic Party insiders. Apparently, Biden’s inner circle did a lot of covering just how far gone he was during the campaign. One insider tells the authors of the book, “It was an abomination. He stole an election from the Democratic Party; he stole it from the American people.”

You’ve got to admire the moxie. Everyone’s always stealing an election from the Democrats. In 2016, it was the Russians. In 2024, it was the candidate they were supporting. This whole discourse is the ne plus ultra of a party that loses and loses yet always finds someone else to blame. Even if that someone else is the person they put into power and then nominated again.

Meanwhile, here are just some of the Democrats in Congress who are planning on running for reelection in 2026.

Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), age 86

Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), 82

John Garamendi (D-Calif.), 80

Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), 78

Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), 77

Al Green (D-Texas), 77

Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), 77

As Axios reports tonight:

Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.), 79, who was ousted as the Agriculture Committee ranking member last year over concerns about his health, is running.

So is Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Pa.), 70, who suffered a stroke last May that forced him to miss House votes the rest of the year.

Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), 76, who froze up during a House floor speech in February due to a partial seizure, “does intend to run for reelection,” his spokesperson said.

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 85, declined to say what she will do in 2026, as did former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), 85, and Reps. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), 82, and Alma Adams (D-N.C.), 78.

Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), 83, told Axios he will decide in “maybe a month” whether he plans to run again. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), 80, is also undecided.”
