I was hoping that Joe might say something in his resignation speech that acknowledged his mental decline, if it's really true. A statement by Biden realizing that he is indeed having some trouble would help soothe some of the anger currently directed at the big donors, who have recently been withholding donations from Congress unless the members announce that they think that Biden should suspend his race. Big money corrupts everything.
I read his statement, and he didn't mention his own mental decline, nor did he blame the media for his stepping down, nor donors for using their money to manipulate sitting members of Congress. Just, "I think it is in the best interests of my party and the country..." to step down. Typical, classic statesman.
We will be forever grateful for the decency of and the political career of Joe Biden, except for when he damn-near railroaded Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court back in 1991. I'm sure there are a few votes he took that weren't perfect, but that's ok. He rescued us from the growing stench of Donald Trump.
Joe has accomplished so much in the last 4 years, even with having only narrow majorities. He saw us through the pandemic with the GOP kicking and screaming like a spoiled child the whole time; the Chips Act; the Infrastructure bill; better healthcare for veterans. It's a long list I won't list here, but you can go here to see the most prominent achievements.
So....
Despite these last-minute, unprecedented (there's that word again!) developments, I am sure that the Democrats can STILL beat Donald Trump.
No more focus on the old, white Democrat. Now we can focus on the old, white Republican and Project 2025. We need to tattoo Project 2025 onto Trump's ass, and he's trying to run away from it.
In other words, this is no time to panic. It's time to get to work. So as soon as someone figures out what to do to "get to work," lemme know, eh?
Is this what you want, America?
