The president talked about his emotional decision to leave the race and his plans to campaign for the Harris-Walz ticket in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
In his first sit-down interview since dropping his 2024 campaign, President Joe Biden told CBS News reporter Robert Costa that he bowed out because he feared being a distraction in the Democrats’ efforts to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump. Their discussion, which aired on CBS Sunday Morning, touched on that infamous presidential debate, Biden’s plans for the rest of his campaign, and what another Trump presidency could look like.
“Although it’s a great honor being president, I think I have an obligation to the country,” Biden said. “The most important thing,” he continued, is “we must, we must, we must defeat Trump.”
Nah, he was pushed out.
For the month that he stubbornly refused to withdraw, you guys told us that he was doing the right thing and anyone who said otherwise wanted Trump to win.
Then when he was forced to by major donors and their chief enforcer Pelosi, THAT was the best course of action to avoid another Trump presidency (true) that he decided on all of his own (extremely obviously false) because he’s a heroically self-sacrifying hero (gimme a break).
No matter what he does, you fanboys and fangirls say it’s the only right thing to do and that it was all his idea. It’s eerily reminiscent of the MAGA cult in its obsequiousness.
