The media and the Democrats, but I repeat myself, insisted up to the moment that Joe Biden dropped out that he was fully up to being president for a second term. That was obviously not the case. It was asserted that any videos showing Biden in a poor light were cheap fakes or deepfakes. Now that Trump has been elected, and it's safe to admit the truth, the books are starting to come out about Biden's impairment. But it was clear to me, long before the disastrous June 2024 debate with Trump, that Biden's mental impairment was severe. Why didn't a senior Democrat say this in 2023 and allow a vigorous campaign to choose a successor candidate?
California Governor Gavin Newsom clearly knew that this was the case. He ran ads attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and debated him. At one time, DeSantis had been the favorite to win the 2024 Republican nomination. Given that Trump declined to participate in primary debates, DeSantis was the logical choice to raise Newsom's prominence. But why didn't Newsom come out and say that Biden was not up to the job? He may have feared that, if Joe were nominated and lost, Newsom would be blamed for it. So they all repeated the lie that Joe Biden was up for a second term. In a party dominated by the far left, telling the truth takes courage from a Democratic politician. Billionaires such as George and Alexander Soros can make or break Democrats. Telling the truth out of school may cause the money spigot to turn off.
When Biden was pushed out, it was also clear to many Democrats that Kamala Harris was a terrible politician. She flamed out in 2019, but her career was rescued when Joe was anointed by black representative James Clyburn. Obama took a long time to endorse her when Joe was finally pushed aside. The party of democracy once again selected its candidate in an undemocratic process when Joe endorsed her out of spite. We are now told that the people rejected a terrible candidate out of prejudice against women. The lies never end.
Now, terrible politicians such as Illinois Governor Pritzker are defending illegals. The far left's stranglehold on Democratic national politics leads candidates to argue for the minority of 80-20 issues. The Left's race to irrelevance continues.

At least a few of the MSM outfits have already been there.

I want the Bidens to get so carried away with defending his legacy that they announce a 2028 run.
