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.

Even if Joe knew or agreed.

He may forget by tomorrow...

and then the fun starts all over again.

I am not kidding.

I think some of the Democrats are reacting pretty much like the Orcs and Trolls when the ring melted in Mount Doom.

What if Biden didn’t know either? What if the power brokers of the rat party decided to exercise force majeure and publish this letter behind his back? Making it politically impossible for him to object? But what if in his “address to the nation” later this week he comes out swinging and says he is retracting this false report? He would never see daylight again.

They’re pissed off because they thought they would get a heads up, considering how long they covered up his cognitive wasteland years.

They forgot that Democrats have no loyalty to anything except POWER!!!

That’s a good strategy. Hang it all on Kamalala.

What are they going to say to that? “No, it was the 0bama staff that ran things, not Kamala!”

I know. Part of the overall campaign. I was compressing, atypically for me.

As Senator he got on the ballot in the uphill battle for the contested nomination struggle.

I agree...what if Trump had been assassintated? I believe Biden would have clung on with the establishments approval. Funny how the Democrats all turned on Joe right after the failed attempt. Something smells....

Plot Twist: It was a staffer who made up the letter, and tweeted from joe’s account without anyone else’s knowledge

Hunter has got more to worry about than a drug problem. He has no value whatsoever now that his daddy is not going to be president anymore. He actually has negative value since he now knows way too much.

Could it be the Chomo is so ill from kung flu as to be incapacitated that his bedside staff wrote those tweets? Maybe even without him knowing (like every other tweet).

So variation on that....Biden has been napping all afternoon.

He wakes up and Jill gives him the news about his announcement....

“What...I did what?”

“Joe, you just forgot. You signed the letter agreeing not to run again.”

“What...No way. I am a fighter.”

“Here is your signature.”

“What a lousy forgery job. Looks like that (bunch of expletives deleted....) guy did that.”

“It is done. It is all over CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, even the Scranton newspaper has the story.”

“Well I know the Scranton publisher guy. I am going to call him...”

Lol.

Don’t most liberals get all their news and info through their iFaggot smartphones?

Got to be what they stare at all day.
