Biden’s decision to drop out ‘has nothing to do with his health,’ White House says
The Hill ^ | 07/24/2024 | BRETT SAMUELS

President Biden’s decision to step aside as the expected Democratic nominee in November has “nothing to do with his health,” his top spokesperson said Wednesday ahead of his prime-time address to the nation.

“It has nothing to do with his health. The president is going to speak to this directly to the American people in prime time,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during a briefing.

“In his letter he talked about the country, he talked about the party, he talked about the moment we’re in right now,” she continued. “It is not about his health. I can say no, that’s not the reason. But hear him out tonight.”

Jean-Pierre also rejected the idea that she and White House aides were engaged in a “cover up” to mask Biden’s decline from the public.

“There’s been no cover up, want to be very clear about that,” she said.

Yep. Apparently, there has been no reason given since health has been officially ruled out. So WTF Joe? If you or I were quitting your job, we would give a reason for leaving not all the non-reasons.

Biden will claim he is healthy (so he doesn’t have to step down)
but say he’s getting too old and wants to spend time with his family (and he’ll make it some insult on Trump because he’s old too).
The real reason why he isn’t running...big money donors refused to give him any more money. So much for THE PEOPLE voting for their candidates.

Be nice if Biden went scorched Earth on the Democrats.

LBJ chose not to run before the primaries.

LBJ chose not to run after the New Hampshire primary where Eugene McCarthy got 42% of the vote.

On the subject of lies, get a load of this...

AXIOS JUST ALTERED ITS ARTICLE - Axios changed its own past reporting, says it 'incorrectly' labeled Harris border czar in 2021- essentially rewriting history

If not his health, is he actually going to stand there in front of the cameras and say "The real reason I'm dropping out is because I suck" ?

Sounds more like something Kamala would say.

Maybe it’s the “OK Boomer Gambit”.

It’s time for his (and Trump’s) generation to step aside for Gen X. It’s time for old white men (also Trump) to make room for younger, more diverse leaders (like Harris). It’s time for old white men to retire (and just go away), and quit imposing their outdated values, like family, God, rugged individualism, national sovereignty, etc on their children and grandchildren. Trump, simply by running, is an old, racist, misogynistic, toxic white man wanting to take us back to the pre-suffrage Jim Crow era, compared to Biden, who is ready to pass the torch...

It’s absurd for party nominees to be appointed through registered voters in a primary election.

Apparently he’ll be taking part in the Olympics as a Long distance runner for the USA. That’s why he’s looked so tired lately...training.

So then, they disenfranchised voters. Isn’t there a legal standing here?

I know there might be at State levels, no?

If it is not for health reasons, then it really isn’t a democratic process. It is not a citizen’s representational process.

It is the partying dictating the terms, not the citizens. This is oligarchy rule.

The lies are blatant with no regard of factuality — and unfortunately it doesn’t matter to the followers.

Everything the Left dispenses is a form of a spell the constituents accept as a precept for conduct.

The same goes for whatever Rat ultimately appears on the POTUS ticket. All that’s required is a plausible candidate since the Rats will cheat regardless.

Biden said, just before he disappeared that he would drop out of the race for health reasons or if God told him to. Wonder how God worded it. Wonder whose voice God was speaking through.
