Former President Donald Trump recently shared his thoughts on Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. Biden’s choice came after a series of missteps, including a poor debate performance on June 27th. Many politicians and even celebrities like George Clooney expressed concerns about Biden’s ability to recover.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his opinion: “Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement.” Trump went on to criticize the people surrounding Biden, including his doctor and the media, for knowing that he wasn’t capable of being President.
According to Trump, the consequences of Biden’s presidency are evident: “Look what he’s done to our Country, with millions of people coming across our Border, totally unchecked and unvetted, many from prisons, mental institutions, and record numbers of terrorists. We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Biden’s announcement that he would not seek re-election came as a surprise to many. He stated that his decision was motivated by his desire to focus on fulfilling his duties as President for the remainder of his term. Biden said, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, 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.”
Biden’s campaign faced criticism from both Democratic Party members and Hollywood donors after his faltering performance in a CNN debate. His struggles to counter Trump’s points and occasional difficulties expressing himself raised concerns about his ability to lead.
Owen Gleiberman highlighted the importance of the upcoming Democratic candidate’s ability to undo the image that Trump presented during the debate. Regardless of whether Biden or another candidate takes up the mantle, they will have to work to restore confidence in the party.
The withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race has undoubtedly shaken the political landscape. As the future unfolds, the focus now shifts to the candidates who will emerge and the impact they will have on the nation.
