For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation.

I wonder if he knows yet.
I’m not questioning it - I know it was a coup.
From a well-known newspaper:
“I need you and Mike at the house,” President Biden said late Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Biden was on the phone from his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., with Steve Ricchetti, one of his closest advisers. The president was referring to Mike Donilon, his chief strategist. Soon, both men were in Rehoboth, socially distanced from the president, who was recovering from Covid.
From that afternoon and far into the night, the three worked on one of the most important and historic letters of Mr. Biden’s presidency — his decision to withdraw from his re-election campaign after top Democrats, donors, close allies and friends had pressured him relentlessly to get out.
He finalized the decision only on Sunday morning and then made separate calls to three people to let them know: Vice President Kamala Harris; Jeffrey D. Zients, the White House chief of staff; and Jen O’Malley Dillon, the campaign chairwoman. He would not tell most of his staff until a minute before making his announcement to the world on social media on Sunday.
Mr. Biden made his decision, a senior administration official familiar with his thinking said, in part because he had tried for weeks to flip the attention from his listless and at times incoherent debate performance last month back to his Republican opponent, former President Donald J. Trump.
But in the end, the official said, Mr. Biden “couldn’t get there.”
I do not care if it was an internal coup or not, what I want to hear now is that Biden is resigning.
Removed by the same forces that installed him.
LOL
Joe was bullied out of the presidency by the donors
Don’t get no funnier than that
Trump wins, going away...
He is a hostage of the coup plotters.
Rescue Biden!
:-)
Maybe Obozo, Pelosi, Soros and Looney Clooney are running the DNC.
Not the victim of a coup. A perpetrator of a coup 4 years ago.
I think we all know there’s an untold story of what happened behind the scenes to generate this letter and suddenly Biden announces he’s pulling out.
I look forward to learning what the real events were behind all of this.
No doubt in my mind that something along those lines occurred.
Biden's announcement stunned White House and campaign aides, who up until this afternoon were insisting he'd stay in the race.
"We’re all finding out by tweet,” said one Dem. “None of us understand what’s happening.” https://t.co/VHphH6HPNL— POLITICO (@politico) July 21, 2024
I forgot to add. If Trump had been killed last Saturday would Biden be resigning today?
Fall the flames idiots.
As they say...what goes around...
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired!”
There’s no way he could have written or dictated that letter.
It was a coup.

The resignation has been a done deal for a while. They waited until the day after the RNC convention to announce it so the R’s wouldn’t know which way to punch. If I were head of the DNC, that’s how I would have done it.
Makes me feel a little like a shower just saying that.
