Thank you President Biden for a lifetime of service to our country.

The last similar action was when LBJ dropped out of the Democratic primaries at the end of March of 1968, after only a few primary election results were in.

Are we going to count this as a 2020 campaign-promise “kept”?

But never this late. Already I believe Vance is saying the Republicans will challenge any changes in the ballots, saying it is illegal for the Democrats to have any other candidate than Biden.

Yes, the GOP response is telling.....(and btw, their argument is bogus)

So bound to be accepted by a majority on the supreme Court.

Those are the actions of a man who puts the nation before himself and his own lust for power.

Joe Biden has dedicated over five decades to public service in various government roles. Here's a breakdown of his extensive political career:

1. New Castle County Council Member (1970-1972): Biden began his political career as a county council member in Delaware for 2 years.
2. U.S. Senator from Delaware (1973-2009): Biden served in the Senate for 36 years, representing Delaware.
3. Vice President of the United States (2009-2017): Biden served two terms as Vice President under President Barack Obama for 8 years.
4. President of the United States (2021-present): Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President on January 20, 2021.

Yeah. And Derek Chauvin dedicated ~20 years of his life to public service. But that doesn't mean it ended well for him. Your four points above are the equivalent of "participation" awards.

Being president is a participation award?

maybe so but it is not as if he did not step down I could see that if he had been forefully replaced, but the man said I am out so I mean I do not think there should be a legal problem as you cannot make someone run for office.

You cannot but can a new name be placed on the ballot?

I'm trying to find the quote for this, but apart from Vance saying Biden should step down immediately I can't.

I wish him a happy retirement.

If Trump can do “the job” anybody can, that’s the appeal.

Under duress but technically yes

That’s interesting, Trump said Kamala would be easier to beat.
