Democrats are 'pissed off' at party leadership for pushing Biden out, CNN analyst says: 'Save those mimosas'

Former South Carolina state lawmaker and CNN analyst Bakari Sellers said Democrat voters are "pissed off" by President Biden's decision to withdraw from the race, blaming party leadership for pressuring him into suspending his campaign.

In an interview on "CNN Newsroom" Sunday, Sellers said his phone has been "blowing up" with concerned Democrats fearful that Kamala Harris will be "pushed" off the ticket as they believe Biden was following his announcement that he is ending his re-election bid.

"My phone is blowing up with people who are pissed off and the reason they‘re pissed off, is because they feel like people from on high pushed Joe Biden out the door," he said.

"A text that I just got from a friend was like, ‘if they pushed Joe Biden out the door. what are they going to do with Kamala Harris?' They will probably try to push her too. There‘s a great deal of fear out there and the people who‘ve done the damage, the Nancy Pelosis, the Chuck Schumers those ’elders' in leadership. It would behoove us all if they came out and wrap their arms around Kamala Harris sooner rather than later."

He added, "And probably save those celebratory mimosas for another day…"

Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer reportedly told Biden in a "blunt one-on-one conversation" last week it would be best if he "bowed out of the race,"
