Biden staffers reportedly blindsided after president drops out of 2024 race: ‘We’re all finding out by tweet’

President Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 race stunned a number of White House staffers who believed he would stay the course.

Many reportedly learned of the historic news from social media.

“We’re all finding out by tweet,” one Democrat close to the matter told Politico. “None of us understand what’s happening.”

Biden campaign workers in Delaware, where Biden has been holing up since Wednesday when he was diagnosed with COVID-19, were still operating business as usual right up until the announcement, placing calls to delegates ahead of the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

I think he had the big cosmic drop out.
He’s dead or he’s on life support.

What point in the election timeline did LBJ do this?

Before the primaries began? In the middle? After?

Who says he dropped out? Maybe the message was put out without his knowledge. He isn’t capable of a coherent thought much less a coherent sentence. I don’t believe he had anything to do with it. The communists who run the government have had enough of his dilly dallying and decided to remove him from the campaign before the weekend was over.


During the 2016 election, Tyrus (on Gutfeld) suggested that the Democrats should have called in Biden and his family, put a cake in front of him and congratulate him on his retirement. Have people tell him how hard they tried to talk him out of it while he slowly processes everything and begins to believe it was his idea.

No he wasn’t blindsided; that ad was posted 11:47am today, so they would have had enough advance notice to get it posted:

Betcha Trump’s campaign videographer had ads done up for each of the possible Dem candidates.

Naw Kammy is hiring them all. It really does not matter who the figure head is, the Biden puppet masters are still in place. All they need is a new puppet and Kammy has shown she will do what she is told

I am really trying to get my head around the infighting

Obviously some Democrat powerbrokers wants Kammy Ho out but the Clinton’s endorsed here today.

I wonder do the 0bama’s have someone warming up in the bull pen? They spent a lot of effort earlier this year and last saying Mike would NOT be a candidate, could they pull he/her out?

I don’t think it will work. The Dems one chance is to go with someone who is a total break from the existing power structure. Give the complete destruction the last 3.5 years have reigned down on US voters, anyone tied to the existing power structure is toast.

Yeah, this has been the wildest week in US politics that I can remember.

Maybe Nixon’s resignation was like this but other then that, I cannot think of anything.

His staff were never running the show. They were useful idiots who believed the whole Weekend At Bernie’s routine was somehow the patriotic thing to do, necessary in order to save democracy, etc. We’re talking about idealistic leftwing loons here. The string pullers don’t see things that way and they finally stepped in and out flanked Biden. The Deep State has six ways from Sunday to take someone out, especially if it’s one of their own.

Time for Devolution to kick in— and avoid ANY major decision from Harris. Period. She cannot be President by default or even as Vice President. Her background is substantially manufactured and a LIE.

Look up lawyer John Eastman.

Rumor has it that he is bringing a legal challenge to Kamala’s eligibility.

I’m just waiting to see... when is the next time the world sees Joe Biden, speaking live, on camera, holding up a copy of Today’s newspaper.
