Many speculated Joe Biden would quit the race when he contracted COVID and left Las Vegas to go back to his Delaware Beach House. Betting markets also showed that the odds that Biden will withdraw from the race have dropped dramatically.
The president said in an interview that he would pull out if he had any medical problems. On this issue, I offered some cautions.
Biden is too old for the office of president, but not to run for it.
The machinations necessary to advance are almost inconceivable.
Biden’s handlers responded with a vengeance after my prediction on Thursday. A senior official refuted claims about President Obama’s retirement, stating that he could start campaigning next week.

Biden’s handlers are becoming more aggressive. NBC News reported that a source close to Biden threw Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer in the garbage before backing off. This report even goes as far as to say the three named above were responsible for Donald Trump’s 2016 election because they placed Hillary Clinton in the forefront.
Yikes.
Biden’s team is throwing Pelosi, Schumer and even Obama under the bus.
If Biden isn’t leaving the race after these 3 have spoken t him, I have a hard time believing he’s going to leave the race at all.

In 2015, Hillary pushed Biden aside for Hillary. They were wrong back then and they’re still wrong now,” NBC News said.
According to sources, Hillary Clinton led the 2016 presidential race by as much as nine points.
What did you think of 2016? There are many lessons we can take from 2016. One of the lessons we can learn is that polls don’t matter. Just ask Sec. Clinton. And two, maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden is more in touch with actual Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?” The source said.
It sounds like Biden is dropping out. As I said, there’s more going on than the president would want. Jill Biden, for example, has ambition, and she doesn’t want her husband to be deprived of his life of luxury.
Biden’s a different matter. A man with a deep egotism, he does not want to lose his reputation as someone who gave up on Trump. It will be his fault if he drops-out and Kamala Harris wins. Biden can do nothing to save face and avoid the race.
What is the benefit?
What a mess! I’m not old but I’ve never seen anything like this in all the years I’ve been following politics and commenting about it. Nobody is willing to admit there is no solution for Democrats.
