 So who has the ear of Dr. Biden and President Biden? Because the authority lies strictly with President Biden. This is his choice to make and no one else's based on how the DNC works and based on the number of committed delegates he's already secured through the primary process. Who has the ear of President Biden? If it's not the top echelon of his staff, if it's not, then it's going to be the power brokers in the party. Senate Majority Leader, Speaker of the House, Speaker Emeritus, and of course, family, President's sister, President's son.
