Biden Withdraws from 2024 Election
Have you heard the news?
Biden is out of the 2024 presidential election and will not seek reelection. He announced on 7/22/24 that he would be withdrawing from the race but finishing his term. Shortly after he endorsed Kamala Harris for his Democratic Nominee.
Anyone Shocked?
For years people have been saying calling questioning his ability to do his job. Eventually his own base and constitutes began to echo the same calls. This chorus of doubt only grew louder as he was forced to make more and more appearances. That disastrous debate performance against his republican counterpart Donald Trump sent shock-waves throughout the democratic party.
In an attempt to redeem himself his campaign decided to put him up to take unscripted questions from the media. This is something they would frequently avoid. Overall I would say the press conference far better than I had foreseen. He did refer to Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump” but this was hardly something out of the normal for him so I didn’t put much weight into it as I did in the past.
Too Little Too Late
All this proved for not as the rug was pulled on his campaign today and he endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic Nominee. This came after his recent infection of COVID19 on the 17th of June. That was could have been the final blow after being a bit defeated already from the constant calls for resignation. Possibly results of a recent cognitive test weren’t that great? Now both parties seem to agree on his decline. The laughs that he gave will live on in memes for years to come.
1st Woman President?
Definitely a possibility assuming she can win the nomination in her party. I doubt there would be any real challengers unless it was a someone like Hilary Clinton or Michelle Obama. She needs to get out there and start shaking some babies and kissing some hands. Trump has a long head start and a strong base from 2016 still. I think a platform like legalizing marijuana could certainly boost her election probability. After the Ear Shot heard around the world she will need all the help she can get. That assassination attempt and survival has given his campaign a much needed boost. Will Trump now have the most famous ear or will that title stay with the reigning champ Iron Mike Tyson?
