I wrote that the Democrats’ disregard for the votes of over 14 million primary voters was the real attack here on democracy, as they were putting pressure on Joe Biden not to run in the 2024 election.
Biden’s resignation raises many questions.
Joe Biden has been adamant about his desire to win the race and has resisted all attempts to remove him. This is a big deal. It’s strange and concerning that there is no video or picture of Joe Biden signing the letter. Frank, his brother, said there were health concerns. A “source” from the family attacked Frank, claiming that he was an alcoholic (so it was impossible to trust his words). Wow.
Politico reports that it is his White House Chief staff Jeff Zients who organizes meetings and tells the Cabinet, not Biden.
The WH Chief of Staff called Cabinet officials to tell them, not Biden?

Biden’s posting to X surprised many of the White House staff and campaign workers, who were unaware that he had changed his mind about running for office. Zients, who has been in charge of communication within an anxious administration since then, held calls with the Cabinet as well as senior White House staffers on Sunday afternoon. Zients will hold a White House staff call on Monday morning as well as one with all appointees in the executive branch.
Zients wrote in an email sent to the staff, which POLITICO obtained, “I couldn’t be more proud to have worked for Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and the American people – alongside you all, the greatest White House team ever.” “There is so much to be done – as President Biden said, ‘there’s nothing America can’t achieve when we work together’.”
Biden, according to reports, told Zients and Kamala Harris about his plans, before speaking with senior advisors. Many, including Fox’s Dana Perino, wondered what was going on and talked about “Weekend at Bernie’s” because there was no proof of life when it came to Biden.
BAIER: Not physically seeing Biden – not addressing a camera in Delaware, let alone an Oval Office statement like LBJ did.
PERINO: They didn’t even release a WH still photograph. Nothing. I hope he’s fine, but you can forgive people for wondering if we are really living Weekend… pic.twitter.com/j549P87mIp

“They didn’t release a single WH still photo. Nothing. She said, “I hope he’s okay but you can excuse people from wondering if we’re living ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ right now.” Perino said that many people were asking him why he had withdrawn. The lack of information about this, however, raised additional questions.
The letter said that he would be appearing later this week to answer the question.
As with all things Biden, his handling of situations is never positive. It makes things worse and leads to speculation. He’s not fit to be in office right now either if it’s due to health. If he believes he will lose, the elites have just destroyed democracy and thrown the votes of more than 14 million people to political expediency.
There is no good answer to this question.
