    So you think Biden and the DNC colluded and he always meant to stand down?

    He just waited until there wasn’t enough time for a primary so Kamala could get it?

    Don’t get me wrong, she’s got a better shot than Joe. But if you legitimately think they planned this timing…

    That’s not a good look.

    Especially for voters in NH who had their primary delegates stolen.

      Or he waited until the Trump campaign sunk millions of dollars into a strategy that has now been completely subverted and which they have no real way out of without a massive pivot like dropping Trump which isn’t going to happen. If that’s the case, I’d call it a pretty savvy move.

          If by that you mean “they followed the same standard procedure that’s been in place for the entire history of the United States” then yes, exactly.

      I don’t think the timing was planned in advance.

      But I think he was getting tired, probably had enough commitments for support to Kamala (he probably gave everybody who demanded he steps down an ultimatum, support her or he stays), and decided there wasn’t going to be a better time to do it. Seems like he was right
