Biden marketing campaign staffers had been fully blindsided by Joe Biden’s announcement dropping out of the 2024 race.
Joe Biden formally dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.
Biden made the announcement on X like a coward. He has been hiding out at his Rehoboth Seashore home for 4 days.

About half-hour later Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris.
“My fellow Democrats, I’ve determined to not settle for the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the rest of my time period. My very first choice because the social gathering nominee in 2020 was to choose Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the very best choice I’ve made. At this time I need to provide my full help and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our social gathering this yr. Democrats — it’s time to come back collectively and beat Trump. Let’s do that.” Biden stated on X.
In keeping with Politico, Biden’s marketing campaign staffers had been actively whipping up delegate help as Joe Biden introduced he’s dropping out of the race.
‘None of us perceive what’s occurring,” a staffer advised Politico. “We’re all discovering out by tweet.”
Pathetic.
Politico reported:
President Joe Biden’s state marketing campaign aides had been telephoning delegates forward of subsequent month’s Democratic conference on the very second he introduced his withdrawal from the race Sunday afternoon.
“It was a nationwide push to shore up delegates for the roll name,” stated a Biden state official, whose fellow staffers had been conducting the outreach. Within the weeks since his disastrous debate, Biden aides have been working to maintain delegates to the Chicago conference in line.
In one other signal of how the president’s choice surprised even his personal workers, his Delaware-based marketing campaign management concluded a workers name with state aides simply minutes earlier than Biden launched his letter withdrawing from the race.
