President Biden made the historically rare decision Sunday to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, less than four months after being declared the Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee and days after a dismal debate showing.
The 81-year-old president’s exit from the race – months before Election Day – comes after a debate performance against former President Donald Trump in which the incumbent appeared infirm and was at times incoherent – alarming Democratic donors and strategists.
Biden’s withdrawal is expected to set off a free-for-all for the Democratic nomination for president.
The president cannot by decree select his replacement atop the 2024 ticket. Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and former first lady Michelle Obama have all previously been floated as possible replacements for Biden.
Harris, 59, is widely seen as the frontrunner due to legal constraints over the transfer of the Biden-Harris campaign’s war chest but many Democrats doubt her viability in the general election due to her favorability ratings often lagging even Biden’s.
Biden opted to throw in the towel after a series of embarrassing revelations that senior party leaders had no confidence in his ability to win — amid a mounting mutiny among rank-and-file congressional Democrats fearful that they too would lose if Biden went down in a landslide loss.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) were among those who warned Biden about bleak polling data — while former President Barack Obama reportedly confided in allies that he had lost confidence in Biden’s path to another term.
The president launched his re-election bid in April 2023, asking voters to give him another four years to help him “finish the job.”

Any summaries you can provide?
Having tried and having failed in an assassinate of his opponent and this having been seen by the coherent population of the world for what it was
the fake president was forced to resign from the election but somehow still remains in the installed office that he sits in?????

“At this time, only registered members of Democratic Underground can fully access the site.”
care to copy/paste any DU gems on their debacle of a party?
“Our DEMOCRACY,” baby!
We don’t care one whit who you silly Dems voted for in the Primary. The Party will decide your candidate for you.
2PM Sunday afternoon,as the inside nature of the assassination attempt becomes increasingly visible? Some of the stuff coming out this AM must be right over the target. Funny, Fox wrote its article days ago, stating he dropped out Thursday, too lazy to change it

Joe needs to fight this.
He cannot remember authorizing it.
Lol.
And failed a$$a$$inati0n attempt.
Democratic Underground is currently open to registered members only
Is the ink even dry on the signed pardons?
Lol, Dems shun democracy
...IF.
And just like that, the TRUMP assassination attempt goes POOF right off the media landsacpe.
I think I would rather have a decrepit and failing Biden propped up for six months than see Kamala Harris as president.
Oh no! Not Kamala Harris!!!
You can do ANYthing... just dot run Kamala against us!!
More correctly, Obama Part Quatre...
I’m ticked Trump agreed to the unprecedented early debate. He gave the rats an emergency exit if Traitor Joe had a train wreck which he did. That said, l am glad to see that treasonous prick will absolutely be gone soon.
Praying that it will be the shortest term ever
Sayonara Joe!
