Biden: “I’m out.”

Interesting.
His decision to withdraw makes him an outlier in American history. Only three presidents have served four years or less without seeking a second term, all of them during the 19th century: James K. Polk, James Buchanan and Rutherford B. Hayes. Several others wanted another term but failed to secure their party’s nomination.
The last president who had the option to run again given the two-term limit in the 22nd Amendment but chose not to was Lyndon Johnson, who served the remainder of John F. Kennedy’s term following his 1963 assassination and then won a full term of his own the next year, only to back out of another race in 1968 amid the war in Vietnam.

Yup. Harris is such a strong candidate that she dropped out in 2020 before the first primary,
Gonna be an interesting week in Chicago.
@George-K said in Biden: “I’m out.”:

He has now endorsed Harris. Frying pan, meet fire.
And just like that, all last weekend’s talk of unity has vanished like a fart in the wind and we’re back to Trump is Hitler.
