(Ben Sellers, Holder USA) Before announcing his exit from the 2024 election on Sunday, President Joe Biden's campaign had pushed back against mounting pressure by saying what he really thought about the situation.
“If Democratic elites oust Biden and disenfranchise 14 million voters like me, Democratic lawmakers are no better than Republicans,” a Biden surrogate said. on NBC News, criticizing that the party does not respect the priorities and wishes of the black community. “Democrats lose the so-called save-democracy argument, and it will look racist.”
The latest tactic by Biden's allies to hit back at critics: saying the “elites” are disenfranchising voters, especially black and Latino voters, who want him to stay.

Republicans at their recent convention in Milwaukee focused on a party that was willing to reach out to voters of all races, creeds and backgrounds, as long as they shared the same set of conservative priorities, America First.
“To black Americans: The media has tried to convince you for decades that Republicans don't care about your communities,” the former GOP candidate noted. Vivek Ramaswamy in a speech that spoke directly to many core Democratic constituencies.
“We want for you what we want for every American: safe neighborhoods, clean streets, good jobs, a better life for your children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally, regardless of your color. skin or your political beliefs,” he added. .
Here's a message the media doesn't want you to hear @GOP:

Democrats now seem confident that the vice president Kamala Harris she can save Biden's failed campaign by running on his platform of being the first woman and second non-white president.
However, many are reluctant to get behind her, including the nation's first half-black president, barack obama.
However, they face a huge dilemma if they run against any president other than a black woman, despite the fact that Harris remains deeply unpopular and faces huge odds in the race against former President Donald Trump.
In addition, selecting another candidate would create a difficult situation for delegates committed to Biden, who would put themselves in the position of betraying the will of the voters during the party's convention in late August.
The Democratic National Committee brinksmanship in gas lighting The nation's shrinking of the president's capacity and pushing the selection of candidates beyond the primaries—ostensibly to eliminate the possibility that voters could choose the wrong option—has created other problems, both logistical and political, in addition to the precarious situation that could be put. with minorities and other voters feeling betrayed by duplicitous tactics.
As George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley pointed out, the situation of Biden continuing to serve as president while dropping out of the race created a bit of a catch-22 in trying to explain his rationale.
On the one hand, if the argument was that Biden had suddenly become too ill and unfit for office (although many argue that he has always been just as ill), the idea that he intended to remain in charge for another six months seemed a hard sell.
If the argument was that he was sacrificing himself under duress because he was unable to win the election, it raises questions about why Democrats didn't raise those questions earlier by stepping in to challenge him in the primaries.
Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from his re-election bid raises the obvious question of how he can continue as president if he is unable to run for office. The Democratic Party seems to have created their own 25th Amendment, but…

The reality that Democrats remain unable to recognize is that the political imperative has little to do with Biden.
Rather, it has to do with the fact that his corrupt legal campaign to disqualify Trump backfired, making him stronger than ever.
After a few fleeting weeks of Democratic truth-telling, Americans can now expect more of the same blatant lies that got them into this political mess in the first place, with party elites and media allies doing everything possible to sell Harris as a viable candidate.
If it fails, it will be fascinating to see if they implement plan C, the only other one left black candidate with enough political clout, campaign infrastructure, fundraising capabilities and name recognition that could chip away at some of Trump's expanding voter base.
Now they're racing against the clock if they hope to make sure their candidate appears on the ballot in several states, though whether through hubris or stupidity, setting their convention later this year seems to have been another calculated decision made in his effort to play it. process and ensure an electoral advantage that may now be counterproductive.
Despite issuing a letter from his personal account, many have noted the fact that Biden himself has yet to make any kind of personal announcement on camera, fueling widespread suspicion as to whether he is even aware of the announcement made in his name
Where is the presidential seal on Biden's letter?
Where is Joe Biden?

Has Biden really dropped out of the race? Why didn't he hold a press conference? Why are they hiding it? Has she really agreed to leave him? Is he aware that the DNC has decided to replace him with Kamala? Did he really endorse her? Hillary Clinton is in it…
