Ele Ludemann: Biden – jumped or pushed?


Joe Biden has finally pulled out of his attempt to win a second term as President:

President Biden, 81, abandoned his bid for re-election and threw the 2024 presidential contest into chaos on Sunday, caving to relentless pressure from his closest allies to drop out of the race amid deep concerns that he is too old and frail to defeat former President Donald J. Trump. After calling Vice President Kamala Harris an “extraordinary partner,” he endorsed her to take his place atop the ticket.

It’s taken too long and relentless pressure from his closest allies is a strong suggestion that he was pushed.

It is probably too late for his replacement to win the presidential race, but it might be in time to save some Democrats’ seats.

A black female running for President? Nevermind her unlikeability & inability to define what a woman is, the woke celebrities are going to endorse the heck out of her. The question is how much ordinary Americans care about what the rich & vapid think. I’m guessing probably not much. Trump is a neanderthal, but he has a relatability the bourgeois hypocritical left (which is still fairly right wing compared to our left!) just do not have.
