Biden Bows Out of the Presidential Race

His handlers believe that running away is the better part of valour:

President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about his fitness for office just four months before the election.

The decision comes after escalating pressure from Biden’s Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods.

Biden plans to serve out the remainder of his term in office, which ends at noon ET on Jan. 20, 2025.

 

 

Everyone knew that Joe Biden (whose record prior to his senility one can safely call weaselly) was exhibiting problems of dementia. Despite strenuous denials, it was obvious.

Not being able to hide that obvious fact, the Democrats plan on pinning their failed hopes on some other charisma vacuum (or at least a failed assassination attempt).

Is Kamala Harris poised to be the chump who loses to Trump in November?

Time, it will tell.

 

Also - what a bad investment:

President Joe Biden’s beleaguered campaign entered July with $96 million cash on hand, after a spending spree last month that depleted about 93% of the money it raised in June.

Biden’s spending included a $50 million ad blitz ahead of his disastrous June 27 debate performance, which has fractured the Democratic Party and led to growing pressure for him to drop out of the race. His burn rate far outpaced that of his rival, former President Donald Trump, whose campaign spent just 46% of the money it raised in June and entered the final 127 days of the 2024 race with $128 million in the bank.
