The 81-year-old president said he’s bowing out after remaining defiant for weeks in the face of calls to withdraw from the 2024 race.

      No, it was the elite democrats who put the pressure. They heard Biden saying “I’ll tax the billionaires” and that was it.

      Edit: Downvoted either by Trump sympathizers or people brainwashed by said elites. The media campaign was relentless.

        No, it was a whole host of people who are pragmatic and understood that he will not win. Trump is way ahead in the polls.

          The polls mean nothing. There are better ways to know how Trump was going to lose AGAIN against Biden. But it doesn’t matter now anyway.

        Don’t you think that if those people actually cared that much about their taxes, they’d just vote for Trump? And is it really that unrealistic that he simply recognized how bad his numbers were?

          To be frank, I’d like to know what was said to him that he decided to bow down.

            I think you made it pretty clear that you’ve already made your mind up on what was said to him to bow down. That is what I’m criticizing.

                You didn’t pose a single question in either of your comments. So how about you ask one before you ask for an answer?

                  But sure, if you want to pedantic, here it is:

                    That is objectively a statement. And I’m sure Biden family is in the comments here ready to spill the beans. lol
