From George’s link:
Biden summoned top advisers and held a family meeting on Saturday, sources say
From CNN's Kaitlan Collins
President Joe Biden summoned his top advisers to his Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home Saturday afternoon as he prepared to make a decision about the 2024 race, two people familiar with the move tell CNN.Steve Ricchetti, who has advised the president since his vice president days, had been there since Friday morning and fellow longtime adviser Mike Donilon raced over. Biden huddled with the two of them throughout the evening, looked at the latest poll numbers and at what Democratic members were saying. Biden also called his chief of staff Jeff Zients throughout the day.
Then Biden did what he always planned to do before any crucial decision: He held a family meeting Saturday night.
“Huddled” with the advisers… Family meeting… Doesn’t really sound like he’s concerned with COVID, does it?

Dem party politics won't change. Enjoy your transgender politics, abortion on demand at any stage, open borders and the politicized Just-us Department.

Manchin's a "Nope."
“I don’t need that in my life.”

Sens. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) delivered their potentially final rebuke to outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) today, surprising him with two "no" votes on a nomination that was deeply important to their old party.
Why it matters: Schumer is closing out the Biden presidency the same way he started it: Wondering if he can count on Manchin and Sinema.
Both senators, in their own dramatic way, voted to defeat the nomination of Lauren McFarren for another term on the National Labor Relations Board.
Sinema showed up for her first Senate vote since the Thanksgiving holiday and voted "no" on a procedural vote to kill McFarren's nomination.
With Manchin absent in the Senate, and the vote tied at 49-49, a potential tie-breaking vote from Vice President Harris was possible.But Manchin raced across town from a previous engagement to deliver the fatal blow, 50-49.
