At 1:45 p.m. Sunday, President Joe Biden’s senior staff was notified that he was stepping away from the 2024 race. At 1:46 p.m., that message was made public.
It was never Biden’s intention to leave the race: Up until he decided to step aside Sunday, he was all in.
His campaign was planning fundraisers and events and setting up travel over the next few weeks. But even as Biden was publicly dug in and insisting he was staying in the race, he was quietly reflecting on the disaster of the past few weeks, on the past three years of his presidency and on the scope of his half-century career in politics.
In the end, it was the president’s decision alone, and he made it quietly, from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, sick with COVID-19, the first lady with him as he talked it through with a small circle of people who have been with him for decades.

It wasn’t until Saturday evening that Biden began to come to the conclusion that he would not run for reelection. He started writing a letter to the American people.

Man is he going to be surprised tomorrow when they remind him of what he did today.

If I needed to fertilize my garden, this whole excerpted post would make it grow 10X normal application.
nice guy
Losers and suckers are they!
The puppet masters sat Biden down with a pre-written note and a pen and assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on that letter.
Because he could care less about Harris and it was only afterward that he was forced to address her.
That’s because President Retard forgot to tell them
I suspect Biden may have been threatened or I should say Hunter was threatened..with a long prison time or worse. What I wonder how they got around Jill?
That’s own way to prevent leaks.
This.
Reading your post #1, do you really think the Potato has the ability to do any of those things?
The Potato was Told he was going home to Delaware to die… with ice cream.
Maybe Joe’s in a coma, and they do have his electric signature machine, and they’re hoping to get one more fat paycheck.
Robert Barnes today:
Soviet-style coup.
The Democrat Soviet took The Tater out to his Delaware dacha and let him listen to the news that he’s not running.
And the Rutabaga-In-Chief also found out that he is endorsing vice president “Big Gulp”.
