this is actually what i predicted would happen when Biden announced his re election campaign. he would have to pull out. its apparent to all that this is the BEST he is going to be over the next 4.5 years. He knows it, Jill knows it, everyone knows it.
but it has had the remarkable effect of eliminating a primary season where the Dems do their usual eat their own circular firing squad process and come out with a damaged candidate. At least for now they are completely aligned behind Kamala and there is actual enthusiasm for the candidate and not just a semi despair that the vote is only about defeating Trump (which she still has on her side and will probably magnify better than Biden could)
Biden deserves full credit for playing this well and it is no wonder the MAGAs are furious about it.
