US President Joe Biden has announced his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, just three and a half months before the election.
The 81-year-old president had faced mounting pressure from within his own party due to his declining cognitive abilities, illustrated virtually every time he walks and speaks.
Biden’s announcement comes after weeks of speculation and growing unease among Democrats following his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump.
In a statement released on X, the US President said “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.“
Minutes following his announcement, Biden gave Vice President Kamala Harris “full support” to be the Democrat nominee in his place.
The president’s difficulty in recalling names and mixing up of people during public appearances had become increasingly apparent. Last week, Biden forgot his Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, instead referring to him as “the black guy.” The week prior, the US President accidentally referred to Ukrainian President Zelensky as President Putin.
The decision follows discussions with top Democratic officials, including Rep. Adam Schiff, Rep. Jim Costa, Rep. Jamie Raskin, as well as many high profile Democrat-supporting figures such as George Clooney, Rob Reiner, Stephen King, and media personality Joe Scarborough.
Former President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were also reported to have urged Biden to reconsider his candidacy.
Biden’s withdrawal has set in motion a rapid succession process within the Democratic Party. Vice President Kamala Harris is widely seen as the frontrunner to replace him on the ticket.
This story is breaking …
Deep state controlling Biden sounds like status quo too me. Have to wonder what the excuse for Biden dropping out will be.
“Instead of stepping down, he will be a controlled puppet, manipulated by deep state actors for the next 6 months.”
C’mon man… you think this makes some kind of difference? What do you think it has been for the last 3.5 years??
Indeed, most of the western world’s politicians are controlled by deep state, WEF, or other organizations for over 10+ years now.
Some nations, have been controlled by a deep state of public sector “career politicians” for over 61+ years (e.g., the USA, since the “departing” of JFK in 1963).
Some, such as European and Mediterranean nations (e.g., Sicily) has been controlled by Oligarchs, Secret Societies and Organized Crime organizations since the mid 19th century.
Canada has been controlled by WEF and China’s CCP since Turdeau Jr. came onto the scene (9+ years). Turdeau is clearly a puppet of WEF (climate scam, pandemic scam, etc.), and is being blackmailed by the CCP to do their bidding to undermine the USA.
Elections are an illusion.
Actually, since Woodrow Wilson was President.
Ugh. American politics (Canadian politcs too) are so screwed up. I hope Trump gets in.
Trump needs to win not only for America but for the whole world. He’s the only one with a chance of stopping ww3.
The U.S.A. has not been a ‘democracy’ since the assassination of JFK! The mere fact that ALL media even pays attention to the drivel that continues to be spewed by clowns like Biden, Trudeau, Zelensky, Macron, Schultz and even their respective opponents proves that the cabal that wields REAL power is in full control of all affairs, economical, financial and religious. Perhaps the day will come when those who know the real truth will find the courage to present it for the world to see; but obviously not yet!
Exactly!!, Until Joe Public learns the truth as to who was behind JFK’s assassination as well as 911 we will continue to have these “actors” leading our countries. Trump is also an “actor” and not saviour of the U.S. as so many believe.
Indeed. Trump exposed the deep state and they will do whatever it takes to keep control.
