Was forcing President Biden to step down from reelection bid an intra-party coup?

Was the move to manipulate President Joe Biden’s unprecedented departure from the presidential race an “attempted intra-party coup”? In the words of syndicated columnist Rich Lowry, that’s a “pejorative, but accurate description of the campaign to get Biden to quit the race.” How’s that for getting your attention for this week’s “Path to the Polls”? Lowry wrote: “For donors, pundits and elected Democrats to attempt to undo this choice is frankly undemocratic. It looks even less democratic when it is factored in that a small handful of people — Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, James Clyburn and a couple of others — are the ones who have the true power perhaps to force Biden from the race.”
