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.

"Why should today be any different?"

Reminds me of how Hillary left all her supporters standing in the Javits Center on election night 2016, waiting for her to appear and speak to them, and instead getting John Podesta's best Ferris Bueller's impersonation.

This is a thread from 6/13 after the G7, but prior to the debate. I made the wrong call about them dumping Kamala, I now think she will stay at the top.

That’s what I’ve been saying. Either he pulls out of the debate using the reason you state, or the powers that be force him to step down. They’ll pay off Kamala, and then you will have one of these pairings step in to save democracy:
M Obama/Whitmer, M Obama/Grantholm, M Obama/Warnock, Whitmer/Warnock. They are hell bent to shore up the problem with young black voters leaving the democratic party in droves. They always like to try and set a precedent like an all female ticket, and naturally they want to lockdown Michigan and Georgia electoral votes.

"What do you expect from a classless POS like Biden?"

Even the corrupt RAT LBJ went on National TV from the Oval Office to tell America that he wasn't running for re-election.

Classic Biden leadership.

I wonder how many dems will be furious that they have been continually lied to about Biden’s mental fitness. If they lied about that, they lied to their party members about countless other thing. They should all be angry, most will continue to vote Democrat.

Biden himself does not know he dropped out.
Others are doing the announcing.

Here is a guy who founded Barstool Sports. He sold it for $551 million in 2023 and bought it back for $1
Background on him. https://www.investopedia.com/dave-portnoy-net-worth-7642454

Here he explains why Biden quit and who set him up in that debate with Trump.

It was all about paying off Biden and his family so the democrats can run someone else.
Nevermind the legality of this.

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.

Likely she has been well cashed out.

One observation I saw on X to a posting by Whitmer was that Whitmer had posted a video and she had grey hair showing.

A woman chimed in and said she hadn’t dyed her roots so she definitely wasn’t running.

That's how Joe found out about it, too.
