US President Joe Biden has decided to withdraw his candidacy from the upcoming presidential election after an open conversation with two of his ancient associates and assistants - Steve Richtty and Mike Donilon. It is reported by Politico, giving a unique appearance on how key decisions in the intra -party circles of the Democratic Party took place.
It is noted that Steve Richtty and Mike Donilone, ancient Baiden's ancient associates, came to him to Delaser on Friday and Saturday, respectively. They sat at a distance from the President who had a positive Covid test and provided information that could accelerate the end of his political career.
Five people who were familiar with the questions and talked on anonymity reported that the campaign survey conducted this week showed that his chances of winning in November Mali. Biden asked several questions when discussing.
On Sunday with Biden, only the first lady Jill Biden and two assistants were at the residence: the deputy head of the administration Annie Tomasini and the assistant of First Lady Anthony Bernal. At 13:45 he told the close assistants that he decided to stop the fight for the next time, reading his letter and thanking them.
This statement struck the political world and immediately changed the idea of Baiden: his party, after three weeks of mockery, began to praise his track record, career in public service and decision to put the country in the first place.
Not only the flow of deserters from his party led to it, although it played a role. The main thing, Biden himself finally became convinced that many Democrats realized after his unsuccessful speech on the debate last month: he could not win.
According to two sources, the campaign ordered new surveys in key states for the first time in more than two months, and the results were gloomy: Biden laggs behind in all six important states and is collapsing in Virginia and New Mexico, where Democrats did not plan to spend large resources.
Knowing this and waiting for a public pressure campaign from the party's elders, a sudden departure gave the president a chance to make the impression that the decision was voluntary, which was important for Jill Biden, who sought to preserve her husband's dignity.
