Joe Biden headed for retirement, Democrats for oblivion
He pulled out of the race much too late to stop a second Trump presidency
While undoubtedly the right call to make, Joe Biden’s belated decision to step aside Sunday, and endorse Kamala Harris for president, comes too late to stop ascendant Republican nominee Donald Trump from winning a second presidential term.
What’s more, the Democratic establishment will only have itself to blame when the party loses control of the White House, after trying and failing to pull a fast one over the incredulous American people.
For months, leading Democrats misled the public about the octogenarian president’s cognitive fitness, insisting that a “sharp” and “alert” Biden was still firmly in command. This façade would, of course, crumble before their very eyes last month when a disastrous debate performance against Trump exposed the full extent of Biden’s decline to millions of prospective voters watching live.
Three weeks of failed damage control efforts, coupled with an outpouring of support for Trump following last week’s failed attempt on his life, left the embattled Biden with little choice but to step aside. A rip-roaring Republican National Convention (RNC), which saw “Trumpamania” run wild through host city Milwaukee, Wi., was likely the final straw for Biden’s slipping re-election hopes.
