The key dynamic is that while Biden and many of his confidants are LISTENING to people's concerns about his viability, they also DETEST this process. They view the listening as good-faith openness to feedback, not as some willingness to leave the race due to private Dem. doubts.

+ A flurry of rumors about Biden allies thinking hard about a Biden exit has infuriated many of Biden's most trusted associates, especially talk that historian Jon Meacham was maybe being tapped to write/or mulling an exit speech, which he denied to CBS News.

+ President Biden, as one friend puts it to me, is "old school" and believes if you "don't think he should run, you should run against him publicly" or otherwise be quiet and be supportive.

+ Biden and members of his inner circle believe both former Speaker Pelosi and former President Obama are privately underestimating his political appeal and the strength of his coalition, especially against Trump, and believe they and others are being too muted on Dem. dissent
