Of course, ice cream was involved.
President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, hosted a thank you event on Thursday for hundreds of staffers who worked on the reelection campaign that he chose to exit nearly three weeks ago.
Judging by the security tents, the location offered a dose of political nostalgia: The staffers met with Biden at The Queen, a music venue that played a critical role in his successful race for presidency in 2020, when he often spoke to the public from the theater’s stage.
After having dropped out of the race, Biden wanted to show his appreciation for the staff’s work over the past year and their continued efforts in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, who succeeded him as the Democratic nominee. That’s according to a person familiar with the president’s plans who shared details of the events but insisted on anonymity to discuss the arrangements.
The event featured food and, naturally for Biden, his beloved ice cream.
He originally said he’d be a one term president. He only changed that stance when he believed staying in the race was necessary to beat Trump. Once it was clear that he wasn’t the best candidate to defeat Trump, he stepped aside and immediately and publicly backed Kamala. How hard is this to understand? Not hard at all, which is why I think you’re full of shit.
If you think that that old ass man that kept falling down, making up fair stories, and usually didn’t know where he was was actually making these decisions then you are absolutely dreaming.
Dude was so obviously a puppet. I promise you that he didn’t make this decision.
You promise me? Oh well then, guess I better trust you. Nobody is this dumb dude…
Excellent answer.
Whether it was planned or just fell out this way, this is probably the best outcome we could hope for. Trump and Putin and their assortment of flying monkeys were lining up the ‘he’s just OLD’ attacks, hoping to ride that into the White House in January. Then Biden withdrew and now the ‘he’s just OLD’ points right back at Trump.
Shitheads like abracaDavid above keep harping on Biden’s age when Biden’s not even in the race again really makes me question how much the attacks against Biden were astroturfed by Trump and Putin (but I repeat myself).
It’s getting so bad for Trump that he’s out there fanning conspiracy theories during his monthly rally (singular) that Biden is going to put himself back on the ballot at the DNC. This all just sounds like a bunch of wishful thinking from a loser who wishes he were still competing against another old guy. Trump can’t even keep up with Harris and Walz, which is why he has Peter Thiel’s blood boy out there doing most of the campaigning. Sad and weird.
Chef’s kiss on this.
