This is choreographed. Be clear. The timing of the announcement to change the game pulled most of the air out of the RNC. A Jedi move. Trumps best next is, "We just beat Biden, whose next?" Can run that for weeks. Biden's trounce is "Did you?"

[@berningsandwiches2662]

@@HitsTownUSA call what? The dems had to coalesce to persuade Biden to drop out. He didn't want to go. They weren't forcing him to stay in. Elder abuse implies he was being forced to stay in, when that's the opposite of the truth. Besides that, a Trump supporter claiming Biden running is elder abuse is clearly bad faith. When there's a different dem running, they'll just come up with another reason their candidacy is somehow invalid.

Rank and file Democrats have no voice whatsoever in choosing party candidates. So very "democratic!"~

[@davidnavarro4821]

BS. Democrats voted for Harris back in 2020. Her name was next to Biden’s during the election. When the President steps back, it’s logical to rally around the VP. Polls have shown most Democratic voters wanted Biden to give up.

[@brandyb2931]
