“Veeptown”: “What if Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?” Sen Elizabeth Warren tweeted on Sunday

PROVINCETOWN, Mass./REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — Vice President Harris was back on the campaign trail this weekend, raising money for the Biden-Harris ticket on Cape Cod while President Biden remained sidelined by a case of COVID in his beach house in Delaware.

In a large tent near the the harbor, hundreds of Democratic donors cheered and waved fans imprinted with “Veeptown” — a play on P-Town, as the beach town known for its LGBTQ history and community is called.

Harris focused on former President Donald Trump’s policies that removed protections for discrimination for LGBTQ people for health care, employment, and students and his ban on transgender military service.

She said that Trump’s running mate would be a “rubber stamp” for his agenda when it comes to gender-affirming care. That prompted a yell of “Go get ’em, Kamala!” One of the people who donated.

Trump stated on Truth Social that Joe Biden was not fit to serve as President or as a candidate. Earlier, Vance posted, “If Joe Biden ends his reelection campaign, how can he justify remaining President?”

“With this selfless and patriotic act, President Biden is doing what he has done throughout his life of service: putting the American people and our country above everything else,” Harris said in a statement Sunday. “I am honored to have the president’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.”

She was called a tenacious prosecutor by Rep. Mark Takano on Saturday. I love you and respect you, Joe. There are too many stakes to fail. Takano said that it was time to pass the torch to someone else.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. — who has not called for Biden to leave the race — said Harris would unite the party if Biden changes his mind, and praised her for her work on economic issues and abortion rights. If you’re going to run against a convicted felon, you want a prosecutor who will make that case, according to Warren.

A Late-Time Collapse of Biden and the Rise and Fall of the Red Wave: The Case For A New Reelection Candidate

Biden had been doing a lot of events in swing states and a solo press conference, pushing back on some of the concerns about his age and abilities. But that came to a halt when he tested positive for COVID last week.

Biden’s doctor said in a memo that his symptoms are getting better and that he still has a cough. Democrats have been asking Biden to leave since the Republicans ended their convention.

The president is going to be out on the trail next week, once he gets the green light from his doctor, according to Michael Tyler.

Party leaders conveyed concern that Biden would lose to Trump, and weigh on tough Senate and House races. He was told by Jamie that he was like the Red Sox pitcher who was in the 2003 playoffs and stayed in the game too long.

He used a new attack line on Trump in a speech, only to scale back his rhetoric in the wake of an assassination attempt on Trump. As Republicans gathered at their national convention, he tried to campaign in Nevada to create some counterprogramming — then got COVID, sending him into isolation in Delaware.

Biden made a number of speeches in key states during the campaign to try to make up for his bad night at the debate. He gave a press conference and sat for interviews.

Biden publicly railed against the “elites” in his party. I do not care what those ‘big names’ think. They were wrong about the red wave in each of the previous years. They’re wrong in 2024,” Biden said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on July 8.

He told George that only the “Lord Almighty” could make him drop out of the race, and met with democrats and donors to make his case.

The performance sent Democrats into a panic, and prompted a steady drip of private and public calls for Biden to step back from the campaign and make way for a new candidate.

The president spoke in a raspy voice and seemed overwhelmed, and failed to make clear points about some issues key to his reelection platform, notably protecting abortion access.

To send a clear message to Biden’s skeptics, the goal was to show off his long political career and first-term record, which would convince them that he was not old.

When Lyndon B. Johnson Drops Out of the Democratic Presidential Race During the Vietnam War: Reflections on a “Bridge to the Overflowing Appraising Crowd”

Not since March 1968, when Lyndon B. Johnson dropped out of the presidential race under pressure over the Vietnam War, has an incumbent president not run for a second term.

His decision came just a few weeks ahead of the convention. It will be difficult for the party to get organized on time, as the path ahead to Nov. 5 is unclear.

“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” he wrote in a letter addressed to “my fellow Americans” posted on social media.

“There is no shame in taking a well-deserved bow to the overflowing appreciation of the crowd when your arm is tired out, and there is real danger for the team in ignoring the statistics,” Raskin warned.

Back in 2020, when Biden was running to become the Democratic presidential candidate, he had called himself a “bridge” to younger stars in his party as he campaigned with Harris, Whitmer and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.

I realized. my long time in the Senate had equipped me to have the wisdom to know how to deal with the Congress to get things done,” he said. “And I want to finish it — to get that finished.”

But instead, Democrats are being pressured to pick an alternate candidate in an extremely compressed time period, just like the “Hunger Games.”

Joe Biden: Five Governors Who Were Not Talking about: How America Became a Great Superpower, and How We Can Rise Vivirious over Extremism

Five Democratic governors are considered to be leaders of the party: J.B. Pursuant of Illinois, Wes Moore of Maryland, California’s governor, and Michigan’s governor. Kentucky Gov. Beshear won reelection and could add his name to the mix.

They also quickly turned their attention to Harris as Biden’s potential successor, criticizing her record on the border, and accusing her of covering up Biden’s “mental decline.”

Harris has been a gleeful accomplice in the destruction of American sovereignty, security and prosperity and in the largest political coverup in U.S. history. She knew for a long time that Biden wouldn’t be able to serve.

The Democrats gave a bunch of praise for Biden and support for Harris. Top leaders primarily focused on Biden.

“President Biden has been given love and gratitude by people because he has always believed in the promise of America and the opportunity to reach their fulfillment,” the statement reads. Americans were blessed with the goodness and greatness of Joe Biden.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, also released a statement that did not mention Harris, a fellow Californian. Biden is one of the most consequential Presidents in American history, according to Pelosi.

“There’s so much at stake this election — let’s unite as a country behind Vice President Kamala Harris and rise victorious over extremism this November,” she wrote. Women’s reproductive rights are at the forefront of this election, as well as democracy and for our future.

Biden’s Democrat-Partner Campaign to Undo an Electoral Candidate in the 2016 U.S. Senate Race

President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday following a nearly monthlong pressure campaign mounted by Democratic leaders and donors to oust him.

The letter did not provide additional detail on how the Democratic Party might decide its next ticket, but Biden wrote that he would “speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”

The New York Times reported how Biden’s replacement could be discussed by a number of democrats, including Laurene Powell Jobs.

“I have seen some emails from people in Silicon Valley who said, ‘I’m not going to donate more until I have more confidence,’” Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn founder and Biden donor, told WIRED earlier this month.

The Democratic candidate will face a Republican Party newly energized by the victory of its populist wing and an alliance with powerful Silicon Valley investors like Elon Musk—both represented in the ascension of 39-year-old Peter Thiel acolyte J.D. Vance to the ticket as Trump’s vice president and heir apparent.
