BIDEN: Bows Out of 2024 Presidential Race!

Posted on July 21, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

KAMALA HARRIS IN

BREAKING NEWS!

By Staff Reporters

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden said he is ending his bid for reelection amid intense pressure from Democratic leaders sounding the alarm that his path to beat former President Donald Trump in November has vanished.

The president’s historic withdrawal throws the 2024 race − already roiled by a shocking attempt on Trump’s life − into uncertain territory, with Vice President Kamala Harris seen as the Democrat best placed to take Biden’s place atop the party’s ticket. Biden did not immediately endorse a successor but did so later.

Biden just made the announcement Sunday from his home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where he’s self-isolated since testing positive for COVID-19 Thursday night.
