Biden Says He Is Going To Step Aside (Updated)

I hope he steps in some dog shit.

BIDEN DROPS OUT

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

UPDATE:

Harris in driver’s seat for presidential nomination, Biden endorses her

WASHINGTON —  

President Biden’s decision to bow out of the November election leaves a path for Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him that would have seemed unlikely for most of the last three years, when she was seen as a drag on his reelection prospects as her approval numbers in polls lagged behind her boss’.

But Democratic desperation and Harris’ own recent performance as a vigorous administration spokesperson and loyal deputy have changed her fortunes. If she recerives the nomination, Harris would be the first woman of color to head a national ticket and, if she wins, the first female president.

Biden to step down as Democratic presidential nominee

9 minutes ago

Several recent polls show Harris is now in close striking distance, within one or two percentage points, in a head-to-head match-up against former President Trump.

  1. He steps in dog shit, he won’t remember. No worries. Anyway, I was watching the talking heads and pictures of Biden going across the screen. The ears and the chin dimple change. Did I miss the class on false identities?

    • Lots and lots of face tucks. Man has had more plastic surgery in the last 5 years than Michael Jackson did before he died.

      You can watch, face is tight in one photo, starts loosening up, then gets tight, loosens up, over and over and over again.

  2. As long as I’m bitching, I can’t stand the news media either. Especially Martha Radditz. Who in the hell signs her paycheck. What a whining….

    • Totally agree on Raditz. She’s 71 years old and should be a multi millionaire by now. ABC should have shit canned her long ago, BUT she’s a tribe member AND was once married to Ben Bradlee Jr, former Boston Globe editor. ABC and the MSM in general probably classify her as “indispensable” to political and foreign(Israel) reporting because of her reported strong ties to sources at the Pentagon and Israel and other places in EU because of her tribe affiliation.

      BTW, she’s a college drop out having attended Utah state but dropped out to join a local TV station there.

  3. If he steps out, his replacement cannot be on the ballot in all 50 states or did I miss something here?

      • No need. The SC already did that ruling that CO couldn’t keep Trump off the ballot despite the clear language of the statute.

    • There’s at least three states where, according to their election laws, the only way that the primary winner can be replaced on the ballot is by death or other incapacitation. ‘Course we’re talking about Demonrats here, so they’ll just ignore whatever laws they need to to get their candidate on the ballot.

      Bribem is endorsing Cackles Kneepads Kamala, who, during her primary run in 2020 garnered less than 2% of the votes in each of the five states she entered before dropping out. Then there’s her just as embarrassing as Bribem’s stumbles bumbles and other faux pas on the National and International stages, since she was installed. She’s a joke and everyone in her party and internationally knows it. Demonrats are going to try like hell to give the nomination to ANYONE ELSE, but there’s still the election law thing they’ll have to overcome. The GOP should be launching law suits tomorrow to prevent that, but we are talking about the mostly gutless Republicans here.

      Trump should now be a shoe in.

      However, as sure as the sun rises in the East in the morning, the Demonrats will find a way to cheat and win.

      The Demonrats have a plan. They always do. They’ve been working on that plan behind the scenes for the last couple weeks, probably a lot longer, waiting for Bribem to throw in the towel voluntarily or be forced to.

      Imagine the further destruction to the country if Cackles is installed. I despair at the thought.

      • What’s that sound I hear all around me? Why it’s Demonrat heads exploding all over the country. Yippie Kai Aaa MFers.

      • I’m more worried the damage Biden can do to the countrybefore January 21. He’s a lame duck with a grudge to settle and can blame dementia – and the Democrats will just shrug their shoulders (He’s the current President – what can we do ?)

  4. Harris within a few points of Trump? I don’t THINK so.

    • Frankly, TM, I wouldn’t trust ANYthing about ANY “recent Polls”.
      Especially where Libtard/Demoturds are concerned.

      The LameStream Media wants DemoTurds to be in charge so bad that their bias is out there for ALL to see.

      Who else would be on the ticket with Kameltoe, Cankles?
      Shudder. God help the USA.

  5. If the power brokers decide to annoint the mattress queen, it’ll be because they expect to stay in charge behind the scenes. But I don’t think she can win a fair election.

    • There has not been a fair election – ever .The Democrat Candidate ,who ever that is , will win , just as Biden did , by cheating ..

  6. There aren’t enough scrabble tiles (to be used as croutons) in the universe to keep up with the word salad queen, or knee-pads.

    • She’s a lot of things but don’t underestimate her in a debate, Remember the hearings in Congress where she made Kavanaugh cry and had Bill Barr stuttering and stammering.
      She may have skipped a couple rungs on the career ladder by sleeping around but she’s not stupid or incompetent.

        • Don’t be mean skeeter. When lacking facts or logic a person must resort to fabrication and name calling. Or should, as Lincoln recommends, remain silent to avoid being thought a fool.
          Sun Tzu points out the importance of an accurate assessment of an opponents skills. Recognizing her prosecutorial skills doesn’t mean I support her.

      • Not stupid or incompetent? Seriously? Go look at her video clip word salads about the “Significance of the Passage of Time” or her Venn Diagrams speech or when she cackled in the face of the Polish PM. She’s dumber than box of rocks and only thinks SHE’s smart.

        No one else in her own party, the Press, and any world leader you want to ask including Joe Bribem thinks she’s she’s smart.

        She was selected as VP as an insurance policy for Bribem so that the alternative to subjecting him to Article 25 would be a very bad choice to the alternative of allowing him to continue as President.

        • Okay Hedge, quite being the dweeb on this site. Don’t mind a opposing view but will not tolerate name calling from ANYBODY. I am not talking about this comment, just overall. Just so you know, we tend to think of mouthy libertarians as democrat lites here.

  7. Good old Bait-and-Switch. Doesn’t matter who the Dems run as long as they keep their fake ballot printing machines running.

  8. Harris is a head fake. My prediction is Harris name is out there so the media talks about nothing but her for the next 2 to 3 weeks. Then at the convention they pull a rabbit out of the hat. Big Mike? The Evil Witch of the North, Gretchen? Fat boy billionaire Pritzger? Now Munchkin is thinking to change back to demonrat just to challenge knee pads.

    Final thought – what if it is too late to get Brandons name off the ballots in some states? Surely there are low information voters that will still vote for him. And stop calling me Shirley!

  9. My preference is Parmesan cheese.
    What is going down is they (the socialists)democraps will nominate someone, but it doesn’t matter, because before the election, they are going to have a mass casualty event, declare Marshall law, and elect there their own god.

  10. Most of you are focusing on the circus, when you should be paying attention to the animal handlers.
