Thank you for drawing that beautiful family. Quite a few people who love Joe think he should step down. Pelosi, maybe, Tom Friedman, who cried during the debate because he was so upset about his friend Joe Biden, George Clooney. It's not just pundits out to get him. And it might be a lot better for him to leave while he can be remembered for all his strengths, rather than to be defeated or be reelected to do things that are very difficult and stressful for him.

Mixed signals I agree. Watching but undeterred in supporting him.

And I love the family drawing! I’ve missed these. That little girls dress is pure cake!

I am apprehensive about the Dem nomination. More D congress people are calling for Biden to step down. A Republican House committee is trying to subpoena Biden’s aides and force them to testify about his health. Some doctor said that Biden has Parkinsons. It is confusing and worrisome.

There is NOT a doctor who has said that Biden has Parkinsons. He was tested for it in February and had no symptoms. What is confusing people is that a Parkinsons specialist visited the White House several times. It turns out Biden wasn't even there when the doctor was. It was a rumor that was spread by the media.

It’s concerning, Liza, and I fear his health is the result of fighting with maga for 4+ years. Stress of his hectic schedule added to Johnson, Trump, Maga and Heritage trash talking 365–I couldn’t handle that.

Love your drawing and your feelings re the President are shared by me.

It’s hard to watch with the media streaming a firehose of “news” and varied opinions coming at us… we’ll see. Hoping for the best.

I'm not confused about Biden. I am confused as to why this has turned into such a big deal. Yes, the debate was bad. Let's just move on and keep the focus on Trump, where it belongs.

Today is July 10th. There are 117 days until November 5th. Who, among the Democrats, can mount a winning campaign in the remaining time?

I live a long way away (a pom who is now a long-time immigrant to New Zealand) with no real right to comment. I don't get a vote though I've long thought a little quixotically that we all should get a vote given how important the US is for us all. I feel for Biden personally. He doesn't deserve what's happening given his achievements, long service and essential decency, especially when he's up against one of the most egregious gobshites (excuse!) who is himself elderly and showing manifold signs of cognitive impairment. If Biden will very likely lose, which it looks like he will however unfair, he should go unless no one else has a better chance. I think some others do. Good wishes.

Yes. Very scared! Will support him, of course. But will also support whoever is the Dem candidate. I’m concerned about young voters ands what they will choose to do. They are so disenfranchised.

Yes Liza, I agree we are living the most stressful and confusing of days right now! I don't know what to believe around what is being discussed by Democrats behind closed doors right now. It's terrifying as I feel our lives truly hang in the balance. Trump must be beaten above all else! Can we trust them to make the right decision???

Thanks, Liza. Always love your “I Saw These People Today” The reality of people going about their daily life….

President Biden is our nominee. I fully support and have total faith in VP Harris and his (non-revolving door) cabinet.

Clooney is apparently upset that Biden is 4 years older than he was in 2020. Clooney himself, of course, never ages.

Great drawing--An island of peace :)

Yes. I'm confused. But if I had to be truthful, I'd say I hope he does step down...because we have to crush the orange man, and I don't think the President can do that. I may be selfish. But I don't want to wind up in a red cloak and white starched cap, and I think a Kamela and Whitman ticket would wipe him out like a tsunami. And I would be dancing.....yeah. I would be dancing. Love the drawings, but then, I always do.
