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.

He’s never given a damn about anyone but himself and his family, so why should they be surprised?

that’s kinda funny. I was wondering to myself, what if they just posted his note without his knowledge and presented as an accomplished fact.

The head rat just jumped ship while the jumping is good. Did they expect him to wait for them?

March 31, 1968

Quotes:

Last week President Thieu ordered the mobilization of 135,000 additional South Vietnamese. He plans to reach—as soon as possible—a total military strength of more than 800,000 men.

To achieve this, the Government of South Vietnam started the drafting of 19-year-olds on March 1st. On May 1st, the Government will begin the drafting of 18-year-olds.

Last month, 10,000 men volunteered for military service—that was two and a half times the number of volunteers during the same month last year. Since the middle of January, more than 48,000 South Vietnamese have joined the armed forces—and nearly half of them volunteered to do so.

....

With America’s sons in the fields far away, with America’s future under challenge right here at home, with our hopes and the world’s hopes for peace in the balance every day, I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office—the Presidency of your country.

Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.

I thought tweets were the fastest way to communicate.

Trump wasn’t blindsided by this. Here is the first campaign commercial against Harris

I’d bet the donors dried up. You can fight all you want but you need donors.

Evidently a 20 year old dietary aid was literally Biden’s last shot at staying in the race.

It was all over for him when Trump survived.

When he woke up this morning with his German shepherd’s head in his bed, he got the message it was time to get out.

I’m betting Biden is surprised to find out he dropped out of the race as well

Imagine their side of this.

Political hacks as careers.

Cynically pretending they like Joe but giggling behind his back.

Then out of a job when he leaves (January, 2025).

How many will stay to then?

Temporary office services will supply some replacements to hang around.

Not a good thing for America.

“This email about a threat of a terrorist attack. Was I supposed to tell somebody. Jeffrey made me lose my latte break this morning and I wasn’t going to give up another one.”

Campaign staffers are disposable trash—as long as you are too old and/or senile to run for any office again...
