SURE he did. And obamas flew out my butt.

WASHINGTON — “I need you and Mike at the house,” President Joe Biden said late Saturday afternoon.
Biden was on the phone from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with Steve Ricchetti, a counselor to the president and one of his closest advisers. He was referring to Mike Donilon, his chief strategist and longtime speechwriter. Soon, both men were in Rehoboth Beach, socially distanced from the president, who was recovering from COVID.
From that afternoon and far into the night, the three worked on one of the most important and historic letters of Biden’s presidency — the announcement of his decision to withdraw from his reelection campaign after top Democrats, donors, close allies and friends had pressured him relentlessly to get out.
He would not tell most of his staff until a minute before making the historic announcement to the world on social media Sunday. Vice President Kamala Harris, whom Biden went on to endorse, spoke to him earlier Sunday morning, as did Jeff Zients, his chief of staff, and Jen O’Malley Dillon, his campaign chair. A handful of senior advisers at the White House heard directly from the president on a Zoom call. Others in the West Wing learned when they saw it pop on social media.
Almost no one outside the house knew what Biden was thinking until he posted his statement on social media on Sunday. Until that moment, Biden’s allies had no choice but to assume that he was all in, until he made clear that he was out.
This account is based on interviews with people close to Biden, including lawmakers, donors, friends and family who were familiar with the president’s thinking as he made what may be the most difficult political decision of his career.

Biden dropping out this week comes as no surprise to anyone. Obama and Pelosi and Schumer made it known that Biden needed to drop out “on his own”. You don’t put that toothpaste back into the tube.
It’s also no surprise that the people running the party will make the selection for their voters, who will dutifully vote for who they are told to vote for.
I’m wondering, with no pics, no audio from the “news” channels, if he’s not room temperature? The internal coup is complete!
Has anyone seen Biden? Is he totally incapacitated?
Notice, in his letter Biden never actually gives a reason why he’s dropping out of the race. “For the good of the country” - that’s not a reason.
He woke up Saturday morning and was told he wasn’t dropping out. He woke up Sunday morning and was told to sign his resignation letter. Then they took him out for an ice cream.
Today is July 22nd. The last time Biden was seen was when he was isolating with covid on July 17th.
Curious, to say the least.
“Inside the Weekend When Biden Decided to Withdraw”
Considering the circumstances surrounding him, the proper wording should be:
“Inside the Weekend When Biden was Withdrawn”
Except for folks on the internet that told us the exact day he would announce his withdrawal.
Power Hungry Obama was barely able to endorse Biden in 2020. He only did it kicking and screaming as the DNC dragged him to do it. He will do the same with Kamala.He may never do it. This time.
Bkmk
What a load.
SURE he did. And obamas flew out my butt.
I'm guessing it was waking up Sunday morning to see he's down 7 points in Michigan that was the final nail.
LOL! He didn't decide.
