It’s just being reported that Joe Biden has now responded to a massive amount of calls for him to drop out of the race for president.
And you won’t be shocked at all:
THE HILL – President Biden is “not dropping out” of the 2024 race, a campaign official said following a shaky debate performance late Thursday that spurred talk among some Democrats of whether he should be replaced atop the ticket.
“Of course he’s not dropping out,” Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster said in a text message.
The president himself brushed off talk over whether he should bow out during a stop at a Waffle House following the debate.
“No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times pointed out he lied 26 times,” he said, referring to former President Trump.

Biden is concerned about his legacy more than anything. He wants to be known as one of the great American presidents and he wants that second term. This is no shock to me and I’m sure not to you as well.

Morning-after thermonuclear beat downs from my race from the debate and polling geniuses like 538 predicted l’d lose by 2.
And what happened?
The only seat to flip and won by a historic margin (+5).
Chill the fuck out.
