Biden Drops Out

 Good.

Miserable piece of shit anyway.

Biden to step down as Democratic presidential nominee


President Biden announced Sunday that he will step aside as the Democratic presidential nominee, ending weeks of hand-wringing among party leaders who urged him to leave the race after a disastrous debate performance left many Democrats fearing he was too old for office and unable to defeat former President Trump.

Biden’s decision opens a path for Vice President Kamala Harris and other possible replacement candidates, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, to hastily mount a campaign for the nomination ahead of the Democratic National Convention in mid-August.

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” Biden said in a statement. He will address the nation later in the week, he said.

He thanked those who worked on the campaign and Harris for being “an extraordinary partner in all this work,” but he did not endorse her to replace him on the ticket.

If he doesn't have the cognitive ability to run how can he serve? WHO is running the Office Of the President of the United States? And the very first question for Harris is how long did you know he was in this bad of shape and why were you still lobbying for him as recently as the day before his announcement?
