On Sunday, President Biden chose National Ice Cream Day to denote helium volition not question re-election for a 2nd term, endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to instrumentality implicit arsenic the Democratic Party’s statesmanlike nominee.
Biden said successful a missive posted to X that helium volition “stand down and absorption solely connected fulfilling my duties arsenic President for the remainder of my term.”
But if helium had immoderate respect for the bureau helium holds, the American people, our republic oregon himself, Biden would resign from the presidency immediately.
No 1 said campaigning for re-election was easy. The docket is punishing.
A campaigner indispensable code supporters, schmooze with donors, airs for photograph ops, and question to events astir the country.
He oregon she is expected to statement the different party’s nominee, and we each cognize however that turned retired erstwhile Biden faced disconnected against erstwhile president Donald Trump connected June 27.
Biden’s sagging canvass show explains his determination to retreat — overmuch much truthful than immoderate fake conception of civic virtuousness his spineless supporters are floating connected societal media to prop up the Democratic Party’s dismal chances and tarnished image.
A canvass of voters successful the vitally important plaything authorities of Michigan, released conscionable hours earlier his withdrawal, recovered Biden trailing Trump by a immense borderline of 7 percent points.
But nary campaign-trail situation comes adjacent close to the immense work of serving arsenic president of the United States — which Biden, whose ain unit members accidental has lone a fewer lucid hours per time and cannot beryllium disturbed aft 4:00 p.m., is manifestly unqualified to do.
What to cognize astir President Biden's determination to driblet retired of the 2024 statesmanlike race:
- President Biden announced Sunday helium is dropping retired of the 2024 statesmanlike race — aft weeks of salient Democrats and donors calling connected him to retreat following his disastrous show successful the archetypal statesmanlike debate.
- In a missive posted connected X Sunday afternoon, Biden admitted that it is successful the “best involvement of my enactment and country” for him to step down arsenic the Democratic nominee.

- Former President Donald Trump reacted to the news by labeling Biden the “worst president successful the past of our country” successful a telephone with CNN.
The satellite has go a unsafe spot nether Biden’s disastrous leadership.
Two active, large-scale shooting wars — some started aft ruthless overseas adversaries looked astatine Biden and saw a tired, feeble aged antheral who neither would nor could bash capable to defy them — are successful advancement and could easy spread.
Our confederate borderline is simply a shambolic nightmare, unfastened to millions of migrants who participate the state illegally with horrific effects connected our already crime-ridden communities, portion the president lounges astatine his Delaware formation location similar Nero without a fiddle.
Our lasting successful the satellite is simply a joke, with adjacent sympathetic planetary leaders fretting astir the intelligence soundness of a person of the escaped satellite fixed to falling dormant and wandering disconnected during NATO summits.
Ultimately, nary magnitude of media gaslighting could person a bulk of Americans — oregon adjacent a bulk of Democrats — that Biden could transportation on.
If present adjacent helium admits helium is excessively anemic and addled to buss babies, helium has nary concern commanding our equipped forces, holding the atomic codes oregon doing thing other that could impact the information and information of our state and its people.
“If Joe Biden can’t tally for re-election, helium is incapable and unfit to service arsenic President of the United States,” arsenic Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), chairwoman of the House GOP conference, enactment it soon aft Biden’s withdrawal.
Her remark was joined by akin words from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC), each of whom, among a swelling chorus of others, person demanded Biden’s resignation.
“There is nary mediate ground,” GOP vice statesmanlike nominee J.D. Vance posted earlier Sunday, hours earlier Biden withdrew. “Not moving for re-election would beryllium a wide admittance that President Trump was close each on astir Biden not being mentally acceptable capable to service arsenic Commander-in-Chief.”
Now we cognize with crystal clarity that Biden is wholly unfit for the occupation — and astir apt has been for his full presidency.
If helium stays successful the White House for the adjacent six months portion signaling to the malign forces of the satellite that helium is excessively incompetent adjacent to effort to beryllium re-elected, we volition endure much than conscionable an October astonishment earlier helium yet stumbles retired of the White House.
For the bully of the state and the bully of the world, Biden indispensable participate the dustbin of past now.
