The 81-year-old president said he’s bowing out after remaining defiant for weeks in the face of calls to withdraw from the 2024 race.

      Nope. Because now the party is in real disarray. Mark my words: if Trump wins, it will be because of what happened today. And the democrats are to blame. Yes, yes, Russia, China, Iran, all doing an excellent disinformation campaign, yes, yes, the GOP is compromised, etc. But ultimately, the democrats opened the floodgates of opportunity for Trump to win “because the gates looked too rusty and we need to replace them.”

      Biden was fine. And I didn’t even like Biden. I would have preferred Sanders over him or Clinton. But we know what the elite dems did to him.

              The people who mattered. Including the academic who has correctly predicted all presidential elections (except for the Bush/Gore one.)

              But anyway, I really hope that this Harris renewed wave is truly substantial.

                  I don’t know, man. I just hope this plays out well - it seems to be the case so far. Crossing fingers.

                    I’m definitely more hopeful now, especially with the conversations happening, the coverage the Democrats are getting, and the fact that there is energy around the campaign.
