He didn’t write that letter.

I think he was forced out by the men in suits, or more specifically Pelosi and the men in suits. They went to him and told him the Democratic establishment no longer had faith in his candidacy and would be escalating the public pressure if he didn't step down.
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 They have not unseated the President but instead withdrawn their support for him to run again.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.

They should have had an open and competitive primary but they didn't because they, and Biden himself, made sure it was a fait accompli to have the sitting President run again.
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?
