Well he didn’t say why he’s standing down, he said in his mind he’d done enough to earn a second term…….so why doesn’t he run? |

I don't know if he personally wrote the letter but I do think he decided to issue it and step down. Any suggestion otherwise remains a conspiracy unless proof is provided. I also don't think it's a 'coup'. They have not unseated the President but instead withdrawn their support for him to run again. He'll serve out his democratically elected term. We've all been saying for weeks they should do this so I don't buy the confected outrage now they have. Quote:
Now they can't go back to the actual voters it is all about Democratic internal politics anyway - not the public - so does it make much difference democratically? |

Re: US Election 2024
Ultimately the new process is less important - politically - than who knew what and when.
The chances of a credible candidate entering the race at this late stage are limited. Nobody can genuinely claim that it’s a reasonable opportunity to be afforded given the substantial costs of running a campaign and amounts generated in donations. There’s no Mayor in the 300 and somethingth biggest city jumping in for a 4 week campaign. The pertinent question for the campaign - Republicans v Democrats - is only whether nobody had the opportunity by chance or by design. If there’s a whistleblower out there that can evidence senior people within either the White House, party apparatus or both conspired to keep a secret Biden’s cognitive decline ahead of the primaries that would be hugely damaging. |

In the middle of the night seems an odd way to do it.
I thought they’d really pull out all the stops and have him introduce her at a rally. |
Re: US Election 2024
I am not sure why Obama took time, I assume it's just in case she didn't become the nominee. Obama is probably the best outrider/campaigner the Democrats have so they probably wanted to keep him out of the fray until it was done. I am sure once it was her they planned the announcement at the choosing of the Harris campaign.

I don’t think Biden, Obama, Pelosi and the current Congressional leadership could have all gone at once without fuelling accusations of a coronation.
Biden obviously had to - to not would be a strong rebuke of his own VP (and directly questions his own judgement). |

Trump’s problem now is that for him to dump Vance is to admit he made a mistake. He should dump Vance - but is he capable of doing it?
