For many Democratic swing state voters, Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential election came as a relief.
“Oh thank God,” said Cathy Gramze, a retired nurse who lives in the suburbs of Detroit. “My diagnosis has for a long time been that he cannot run again and I am not entirely sure that he should finish his term in office.”
Gramze had worried about Biden’s fitness long before the debate. His 27 June performance merely confirmed what she had long feared. “A lot of the time he is the president we need, but some of the time he isn’t.”
Kamala Harris, who Biden endorsed Sunday and who has earned the endorsement of most prominent Democratic elected officials, “needs to be the presidential nominee”, Gramze said.
I live in MI, which is more blue than ever. GenX centrists buy into the conservative propaganda and still have closet racist/sexist views and likely won't show up to the polls. HOWEVER. Old people be dyin' out here, and young people seem to be more motivated than ever to change the future. I would say I have hope.
51Oooh, Trumps gonna be jealous. He’d better drop out, too, so he doesn’t feel like a loser.
34I have to admit I’d feel really owned if trump had the manhood to step down for his vp candidate.
