It’s official…

Just as expected, Joe Biden has just dropped out of the 2024 race for the Presidency.

We had previously told you the announcement would come as early as today (Sunday) and that reporting has turned out to be spot on.

He made the announcement by letter:

He will address the Nation later this week with more details:

BUH-BYE!

He claims he will remain as President so he can focus on finishing out that term.

Interesting.

I am unclear how you can be unfit enough to run for re-election but still fit enough to serve as the current President.

Seems incompatible to me.

Maybe 25th Amendment is incoming too?

Here is a closer look at the letter:

And a full transcript if this is easier to read for you:

JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR.

July 21, 2024

My Fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years. Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And 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 the remainder of my term.

I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do – when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.

Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

This is a developing story and we’ll continue to bring you more as we have it.
