In a stunning turn of events, President Joe Biden has decided to bow out of the 2024 presidential race, citing the best interest of both his party and the country. This announcement follows a less-than-stellar debate performance that left many Democrats scratching their heads and reconsidering their loyalty to the current occupant of the White House. Rumors abounded as party insiders and donors began whispering that it might be time for Biden to hang up his running shoes, and it appears he took their advice to heart.
Biden, in a letter shared on social media platform X, proclaimed that serving as President had been the honor of his life. However, the lofty sentiment quickly took a dive into the reality pool as he acknowledged that stepping aside was the most sensible choice. It’s quite rich that the man known for presenting his vision of America felt compelled to fade into the background, despite his continuing duties as President. What exactly does focusing on those presidential duties look like? More naps and a diet of vanilla ice cream?
The echo of approval from the masses is deafening, according to a recent poll by The New York Times and Siena College. A whopping 87 percent of registered voters believe that the “strategic retreat” was the right call. This leaves just a paltry 9 percent of voters standing by the current president in a show of loyalty that would make any party supporter blush. It seems that even the most diehard Democratic voters can see the writing on the wall—one that warns against the dangers of keeping Biden at the helm.

Adding to the chorus of despair over the president’s performance, many respondents want to establish age limits for those holding public office. Who would have thought that Americans across the political spectrum suddenly became population control advocates? With 79 percent of people supporting age limits, it’s clear that voters are ready for some fresh faces rather than more “experienced” politicians who can barely navigate a debate stage without stumbling over their own thoughts.
Polling from YouGov paints a clear picture, with 71 percent of Americans expressing approval for Biden’s withdrawal from the race. Not surprisingly, the support crosses party lines, with 70 percent of Democrats, 68 percent of Independents, and a commendable 76 percent of Republicans agreeing on this strategic departure. Only 17 percent of Americans are left with their hands in their pockets, casting disapproving glances toward Biden. At this rate, the only potential comeback Biden could have would be in the form of a quality support group aimed at helping past presidents accept their fate.
