Last week, the Democratic Party was divided and seemed to be heading for defeat in the November election. I was supporting President Biden, believing that the party needed to stick with him to have a chance of winning.
Fortunately, the leader of the Democratic Party (President Biden) is one of the shrewdest politicians in this country. He knew that the chances of winning with a divided party were slim. And he also knew that with two elderly candidates (both of whom were seen as having failing mental faculties), many voters might just give up and stay home on Election Day.
So President Biden subdued his own ego and acted for the good of the country. He dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
The media was also wrong. They repeatedly claimed that after Biden dropped out, the party division would continue as as several candidates would fight it out for the nomination.
That did not happen. The other possible candidates quickly endorsed Kamala Harris and the base coalesced around her. In the first 36 hours, the Harris campaign received over $100 million in donations (mostly from small donors). In that same time frame, more than enough convention delegates pledged to vote for her to assure her the nomination. And 28,000 new volunteers came on board to work for Democrats.
Today, Democrats are UNITED and excited about the prospect of defeating Trump. We can thank President Biden for that. He knew what needed to be done and he did it.
I was wrong, and so was the media. Fortunately, President Biden was right!
