Fascinating

https://www.axios.com/2024/07/21/biden-obama-2024-president-drop-out

At the time I felt like Biden didn’t run because he was grieving Beau’s death and focused on his family.

At the time I also felt like Obama did want Hillary to run as part of an “understanding “ reached when Hillary endorsed him in 2008.

Notable that the Clintons are pretty much the only ones not publicly calling for Biden to drop out.

I had expected Biden to announce tonight that he would be dropping out but doesn’t seem to be happening.

Was really hoping there wouldn’t be any post show buzzkills this morning, but seeing a poll out of Michigan where Biden was losing even the Detroit Metro area seemed like harbinger of things to come.  The interview with congressman yesterday on This American Life wasn’t helping either…

How could he poll well anywhere when the entire Democratic Party was saying he can’t run? Once Obama let his position be know it was all over.

If the entire party had stuck with Biden who knows what would have happened? I realize conventional stupidity is he would have lost but after the debate there was plenty of polling showing little impact on the race. Political junkies watch debates not the vast majority of Americans. But when we got a drip drip drip from democrats each day saying he should drop out of course his numbers among democratic voters began to suffer.

"ActBlue announced grassroots supporters had raised as of 9pm ET $46.7 million via the Democratic donation-processing site following her campaign launch, which it noted on X was 'the biggest fundraising day of the 2024 cycle.""

can confirm

actBlue has now raised over $71,000,000 since Biden’s announcement this morning.



interesting
This will be the first Presidential election since 1976 to not have a Biden, Bush, or Clinton on the ticket.
