President Joe Biden has just announced he’s not running for re-election and will support Vice President Kamala Harris’s candidacy instead.
The announcement came as a shock to the people who work at the White House and to campaign aides, one of whom told Politico, "We’re all finding out by tweet. None of us understand what’s happening.” The same was true in Delaware, Biden’s home state. “I don’t think a soul in Delaware knew,” said a Biden campaign official.
As such, this is the third time in three presidential elections that Democratic Party elites have subverted democracy to choose a presidential candidate.
