 I was told by a senior member of the House Democratic Caucus last night that more and more members will come out today, followed by more and more members, Senate and House members, on Friday, that many had been waiting for the NATO summit to end, not wanting to appear to do anything to undercut the American president at a time of deliberations with allies. Most members have come to the conclusion, he told me, that it is time for the president to step aside.
