“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, 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 my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
Thank fuck. Biden’s actually been a pretty good President and I say that after strongly supporting Bernie over him. He’s got some flaws and (including some pretty big ones, e.g. Gaza). But, he’s also had some good accomplishments and finally recognized that continuing to steer this ship intro the dirt wasn’t the best plan. So, Thank you President Biden and let’s all now pull together and get whoever replaces him elected. It’s probably Harris. Again, not my first choice, and I suspect the selection process isn’t going to be terribly Democratic. But, we missed that boat by not having a real primary. But, we now have a chance for someone without one foot in the grave and the other on a patch of ice, to beat Trump. Let’s not squander it.
it is finally joever.

He’s now announced that he’s endorsing Harris. https://www.vox.com/politics/361827/biden-drops-out-2024-kamala-convention
Moments later, Biden released another statement endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take his spot atop the ticket.
“My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made,” the statement said. “Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.”
What is clear is that the presidential contest is entering uncharted territory for the modern era.
Kamala w Obama as VP would win in a landslide
Though unconstitutional, since the VP needs to be eligible to be president.
Didn’t say which Obama

Give me a Jon Stewart / Katie Porter ticket!
I think that JS could be a good president, but he also seems like the kind of person who wouldn’t want to be president.
Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.

A John Stewart VP pick could be cool though. I could see him siting on the Senate floor calling out people BS all day.
…WHAT?
Hopefully we can get a halfway decent candidate that isn’t going to continue support and fund a genocide.
That seems extremely unlikely. US elected officials are elected via donors who buy them and the military industrial complex isn’t going to back someone who is against selling weapons to one of the largest buyers.
I know just wanted to have a brief moment of hope lol
I doubt the nomination is really “open”. The only way they get to spend their war chest is if VP Harris runs (and she is). I can’t see the DNC nominating anyone else with such little time left.
Biden be like: “You
corruptedsupported me with billions but I am gonna go now lol - oh, btw could you please give some big money to Kamala as well? kthxbye”
