President Biden suspends his election campaign

REHOBOTH BEACH, DELEWARE – On July 21, President Joe Biden officially ended his campaign to be the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Biden wrote a letter and posted on social media site X explaining that it was in the best interest of the country for him to suspend his campaign.

The confidence of some of Biden’s most loyal campaign supporters was shaken after they heard him misrepresent facts on the debate stage and get lost in his own blunders. It didn’t go unnoticed. It happened on the debate stage. Republicans and some prominent Democrats demanded that Biden suspend his campaign or that Congress invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Biden.

Leaders respectfully calling on Biden to resign include Representatives Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Mike Quigley (D-IL), Gluesenkemp Perez (I-WA), Jared Golden (D-ME), Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Senator Mark Warner (D-VA).

The Biden administration said he was jet-lagged and had a cold. Biden addressed the nation and said he was simply having a bad day. Canyon News reported the two reasons Biden would suspend his campaign. A trusted source said Biden’s lackluster debate performance was one of them. The second reason was that fundraising dried up.

At the time of the US presidential debate, the Biden campaign was raising millions of dollars, Trump’s billions. According to recent reports, the Trump campaign has raised $100 million more than the Biden campaign.

The Biden family reportedly told Joe Biden that fundraising was OK and encouraged him to stay the course. Before reports emerged that Biden had contracted COVID again, major donors had already pulled their donations.

Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Roy Disney of the Walt Disney Foundation, said: “They will withhold any further donations to the party until Joe Biden drops out.”

Gideon Stein, president of the Moriah Fund, announced that he had also suspended the $3.5 million donation he had planned to give to nonprofits and political groups.

Ballotpedia reports that Donald Trump won the majority of delegates at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 15, 2024, when Trump accepted his official nomination for president and Senator JD Vance officially accepted Trump’s request to nominate Vance as his running mate.

Joe Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee on March 12, 2024. The Democratic Party will make an official nomination for president through a virtual roll call vote ahead of the Democrat National Convention (DNC) scheduled for August 19-22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
