Barring usage of the 25th Amendment or impeachment conviction, Biden and only Biden can make the decision not to run. He will not be removed at the convention unless he wants to be removed. Personally I think he will decide not to run and we'll know fairly soon. Newsom will be the new candidate in my view.
Yep. Sometime after Thanksgiving. He is already losing certain options each day now. He could have announced last month that he would not be running again and declared victory. Sort of his last chance to do that. Now, his legacy is looking like if he withdraws he was driven out by the polls and signs of things to come. In the last month the polls have shown that any republican can beat Biden, maybe Asa Hutchinson excepted. First it moved to Trump could beat him, now it is anyone who can fog the mirror.
^ lol above. Biden will run with Diane Feinstein before he drops out. Speaking of Newsom, kicking facts and smacking Hannity is becoming his main gig…
Well, Biden is now totally out of touch with reality so you have that fact to help make your point. Does that mean that Karine LePoupon will have to spend her days saying "Look, we all work with Diane Feinstein and none of us can keep up with her?" You know as the script requires her to do for Biden everyday.
Oh, ballots have already been printed? I suppose Menendez is the presumptive candidate in NJ too. And may be he is. But as with Biden, "presumptive" does nothing if circumstances go south on them. And circumstances are going to go south for both of them.
More yeah, no. NJ primary is June 2024. There’s plenty of time there. To challenge Biden you have to be on the California ballot by December 2023. Tic tock.
I believe Glenn Youngkin knows about primary deadlines too. Including Nevada October 16. Your "presumptive nominee" logic is neither here nor there for me. If for example Joe decided to hold off and declare at the last minute then early on Marianne Williamson would be the presumptive nominee to you because she was the only one signed on. Ahhh, no.
At the impeachment inquiry, dems are alleging that Biden was out of office during some of the alleged influence peddling/selling of influence activities so that allegedly exonerates him from crimes in that time period. Not necessarily so. Even if he was out of office but was receiving funds to perform actions that would benefit foreign countries/entities, he would need to be registered under FARA. Assuming they prosecuted dems for FARA violations the DOJ did to Paul Mannafort. But of course there is the two systems of justice problem at play.
