There have been presidents who have not ran for a second term, but they are for a variety of reasons. I don't think in history a president has been cajoled out of office like this.
I remember my "liberal", well back when you could have a civil conversation with a liberal, teacher said no party would EVER not support the current incumbent president. It would be a blow to say "we picked the wrong guy" to their party, one that would cost them the election.
Every swing voter would go the other way because they simply would have zero confidence in the party since the party itself has no confidence in their own leader.
What are they going to say: "we got it wrong last time and the country is a mess, but we'll get it right with this guy!"
Yeah, despite the media circus, expect Trump v Biden 2.
great point
I guess this will be a measure of their desperation to keep Trump out....this is not about Biden or the Dem party, it is ALL about obsessive/compulsive Trump hated.
The only possible option I see is a voluntary 25thing passing the reigns to Kamala, but that really should have been built up to a lot sooner. Instead they've been comming aliens. Even Biden isn't worth saccing just to snag Turtle, and even though Biden is a very weak candidate, he's still overall stronger than a sudden jarring Harris.
It's just that they know now, after seeing the farce of the Republican pre-primaries, that Trump is going to beat Biden in 2024. They fooled themselves into the same trap as 2016, and while they have realized it earlier, it is still too little too late. Trump will win in 2024, no hard normie-shaking evidence of 2020 election fraud will ever surface, and the fight will drag on a little longer.
