After he strung Democrats along, arrogantly professed that he would win in November, and retreated to Delaware, Joe Biden has ended his campaign with zero face time. After all the chaos the last few weeks have wrought, here we are, with an incoherent president who’s still supposed to govern America for the next many months, who has now admitted that he’s too unwell to seek reelection, and who chose to alert the nation to the end of his campaign via social media instead of in person, at 1:46 p.m. on a Sunday.
Was this a planned social-media campaign or a haphazard response to the bullying that Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi and her allies, pummeled Biden with last week? Probably should’ve scrubbed some of the tweets posted mere hours before Biden announced his withdrawal — posts in which he doubled and tripled down on his intent to run in November.
Jill Biden, by the way, simply reposted her husband’s statement with a heart emoji.
