Why did Biden Drop Out of the Race less than 4 Months from the Election? (Read 1804 times)

Flapp_Jackson

Biden's X account announced his withdrawal from the campaign on Sunday.

Three days later he went on national media to explain why he quit.

I listened to his speech 3 times, and the only reason i can discern from his words is:

I was forced out by the party even though I knew i could win.

That tells me his party as a whole believed he was not able to win.

There have been lots of political pundits and media types speculating and offering an opinion, but I need to hear it from the proverbial horse's mouth.

Anyone else find a rational, logical and official reason for his campaign to fold their tents?

Biden is grinning ear to ear now. He didn't think anyone had a better chance to win then him. After they reviewed Kamala's chances of success the decision was made and now she is going to work!.

He's very happy with his decision and watching his mentee crush Trump.

Biden grins ear to ear when he gets  ice cream and has a bowel movement.

You failed to even try to answer the question, Trollboy.

BTW, Harris' poll numbers have been worse than Biden's the whole administration.

Quote
Among the roughly quarter of Republican voters who say they are unsatisfied with Trump as
the GOP’s nominee, Trump is ahead of Biden by 46 points, 63% to 17%.

When Trump’s opponent is Harris, however, more of these dissatisfied GOP voters flock to
Trump. The Republican’s lead with that group grows to 57 points, 73% to 16%.

In a nutshell, Harris is galvanizing the Republican base in Trump's favor/

The man behind the curtain.

biden, like kamala, needs to be propped up.  Both of them cannot win on their own.

Their redeeming properties?: 

Both of them are willing to be strung along.  Power and position is more important than self dignity.  They sold their souls to the obowel democratic mob boss.

The American people are finally seeing it now.  Many saw it early on before the 2020 election.  The ones who were strung along with biden and kamala are seeing it now.  Some are enraged and some refuse to see the light.

Oh.  NOW she's going to work.  Was doing the "where is waldo?" question on kamala for 3 1/2 years now.

Great work ethic, you democrats.

Those in control realized that world leaders were on to him and so where anyone present at meetings that he's not coherent.  He was too far gone and they had to find a rubber stamper replacement, hence Hyena.

QUIETShooter

This was the plan all along, but just 4 years sooner.  "They" knew joe was getting old but thought he could handle the 2 terms and then the hyena takes it from there.

Once "they" saw that poor joe was losing it, they implemented the plan immediately once the cat was out of the bag.

Maintaining power is everything.  Even if it means stepping on the democratic process.  Even BLM smelled bullsh*t and to their credit, they called the dems out for it.

It's democracy in motion and it is beautiful ONLY if they are the ones administering it.  Everything else is fascism.

edited to add:  One thing "they" didn't realize was that kamala was a total disaster.  That is why obowel didn't openly endorse her at first.  He probably decided they have enough weapons to win:

a woman who is of color, an extreme progressive liberal, and an appeal to the generation Z crowd who love to make their political choices on TIK TOK and other social media, where fashion and being "in" is more important than facts, credentials, and critical thinking.

Actually, they've known all along.  She was a complete flop in the 2020 campaign that ended in Dec 2019.  She was selected from all the VP candidates even after she called Biden a racist for voting against forced busing when she was in school.  Why would they choose her, then, above someone else?

3 reasons:  Female, not Caucasian, and not afraid of playing the race card even though she's not even Black!!

Competent White males with better judgement and accomplishments need not apply.

I'm still waiting for someone to file an Equal Employment Opportunity lawsuit against him and the Federal Government.  His policy of illegal discrimination is in our collective face.

Joe Biden says he is considering four Black women
to be his running mate

Biden is considering a broad tier of candidates
to be his running mate, after pledging
earlier this year to pick a woman for the job.

‘I want to see myself:’ Black women mount public and private
campaign for Biden to pick a Black woman running mate

Quote

Influential Black women are mounting a robust effort to persuade presumptive
Democratic nominee Joe Biden that selecting a black woman as his running
mate would give him the best advantage to win the White House in November.

Kamala Harris attacks Joe Biden’s record on busing and working
with segregationists in vicious exchange at Democratic debate

Quote
The most personal attack of Thursday’s Democratic debate was aimed not at
President Donald Trump, but at former Vice President Joe Biden.

California Sen. Kamala Harris called out Biden on the issue of race, saying the
way he recently described his past working relationship with two segregationist
lawmakers was “hurtful.”
...
Harris also accused Biden of opposing busing, which Biden disputed.

“There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate
her public schools, and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was
me,” Harris said.

“I will tell you that on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats.
We have to take it seriously. We have to act swiftly.”

Polls are out,  Harris is polling higher than biden.   Excellent move by Biden to realize he was too old.   Now it's Trumps turn.

Your comment is irrelevant unless she's running against Biden.

And since the DNC circumvented the democratic process to dub her the nominee, she doesn't have to.

It does matter because she can beat Trump while Biden couldn't.  Mostly only Republicans are complaining about the process.

that well-known Republican group BLM is complaining about the process...

So circumventing the democratic process doesn't matter?

Typical democratic behavior.  Doesn't matter how they win.  As long as they win.

Another way to say it is the current loser isn't losing by as much as the previous loser.

Harris is polling higher than trump.  Biden was usual polling lower. 

Trump should drop out.   Until then I'm voting for Harris.  And I usually vote for the Republicans.

I'm not blinded, I'm seeing what options I have and picking the best one.   Trump is worse than Biden.   Only way I would vote for him would be if the other option was worse.  Let's say if it was Putin vs Trump. I would vote Trump.

So, the last Republican you voted for for President was who?  Romney in 2012?

You never voted GOP.  You voted for Obama.  Admit it.
