Following a weak Presidential debate performance against former President Donald J Trump, President Joe Biden has opted to bow out of his Presidential campaign for a second term.
Biden drew essentially universal criticism from the Press and members of his own party for his poor performance on the debate stage.
Members of his own party began to turn on him by “piling on” and urged the sitting President drop out of the race. Then Democratic donors began holding their donations to the party and Campaign.
The drumbeat to drop out of the race began building to a crescendo.
Different polls at the time showed Biden either down to Trump by a few points or at a dead heat and tied depending on the poll.
The President was formally steadfast in not dropping out of the race vowing to stay in.
The President is in his home in Delftware recovering from COVID-19.
He has endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris for a Presidential run.
The jury is out on this latest development as the Democrats hold their 2024 Convention in Chicago on August 19-22nd and how this will play out
Let’s see what happens then.
