Pres. Joe Biden Withdraws From 2024 RAce for 2nd term

👀      From his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, the President announced he would no longer be a candidate for the 2024 Presidential election. His decision came after he was diagnosed with the Covid virus a few days ago and had been isolating from public and withdrew from the White House office.

      Over 40 House Democrats had called on him to withdraw given the status of the campaign and the amount of time left before election day in November. He added that he would support his Vice President Kamala Harris as a candidate as the DNC convention will soon convene in August.

     Meanwhile, the RNC will now unveil the backup plan to put in place if Pres. Biden did, indeed withdraw.  Now the Republicans will take a shotgun approach as they wait until a clear candidate emerges from the pool of possible candidates who will face former president DJT, recently declared the party candidate for 2024.

     Any candidate the Dems put up will have an excellent chance of defeating the Republicans' unstable party leader who has more baggage than a 100 car freight train. Apparently, the various legal travails of Mr. trump have been sidelined courtesy of the Supreme Court's ruling that a sitting president is immune from prosecution for "official acts" while in office. Federal Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that the documents case will not be heard until at least after the 2024 election. Jack Smith's case against Trumpie will also be postponed until after the election when a sitting president could cancel the entire case against himself.

     The American public is getting a law school lecture on the law that we live with that is guided by our Constitution, that document we as a democracy have relied upon for over 230 years. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is the lead instructor on this seminar for all Americans. After overturning Roe V. Wade; after Citizens United, and others, we now know it's anew ballgame with SCOTUS.

     So, sports fans, as we move deeper into thesummer months, lots of political activities will struggle for out attention from now until election day. Are you ready? Get ready.

     Oh, and when will Trumpie remove the white gauze patch from his right ear? After Halloween? Christmas? New Years? Hmmmm. Maybe it will be permanent.
