He would have stuck it out stubbornly had he not been pressured. No cookies for Biden.
So you're saying that a politician listened to members of his party and the voters, sidelining his own ambitions. And you have a problem with that?
It's not just a matter of if, but also when.
Biden waited until damn near the last possible minute, and probably wouldn't have stepped down if it wasn't for the Trump shooting.
I dunno - the timing was right after the RNC and Vance being locked in. Vance didn't broaden the ticket appeal because they thought Trump had the election in the bag. The timing might not have been strategic but it worked out pretty damn well!
The timing was clearly strategic. He didn't want to do it, but there's a reason why Kamala's campaign literally started calling Democratic representatives within hours.
