Joe Biden Drops out of the 2024 Presidential Race With Kamala Harris the Presumptive Democratic Nominee

For the past few weeks, more and more Democrats seemed concerned about if Joe Biden could win the Presidential election this Fall. After a debate that was awful all around, an increasing number of Biden's own allies wanted him to drop out. It really had the feel of when all the children and grandchildren confronted Grandpa about how he needed to give up the car keys and quit driving the nation. Biden insisted he was still perfectly healthy and able to drive, but was hounded enough that everyone convinced him to say he'd quit, "Driving," this January

Now, Kamala Harris is the presumed nominee (although at this point who can predict anything) and while I like her I have to say she hasn't really been present much the last 4 years. I mean, Mike Pence was awful but he was usually around doing stuff, have we seen Kamala much, and can she win? This is the weirdest election in my living memory considering we have a man convicted of 34 felonies who denies he even previously lost the last election running on the Republican ticket and now less than six months out from the election the person who thought might be the Democratic nominee has dropped out. In his place, we've got a Vice President who knows how to debate (look at Harris in the past) but if she can win is a big question mark. It looked likely Biden would lose despite how terrible Trump is, so are things going to be better or worse? That's the million-dollar question and there ain't an answer till this November.

Can We Take a Breath Now?

Joseph R. Biden is now our 46th President. Donald Trump was the worst President ever, by far. Our country was a mess due to Trump and then a pandemic came and made everything even worse. Now Biden is our President and Kamala Harris is our VP. The inauguration was today and America has survived the last 4 years. It wasn't easy between the pandemic, the domestic terrorists invading the capital, and thing after thing Trump and his cronies did, but we made it through. Things won't get completely better overnight, but with 99.9% confidence, I will say they won't keep getting worse. I just want to know, are things going to finally be a little less crazy? Can we take a breath now? I'd really like that.

Biden Wins the Presidency and Kamala Harris the Vice Presidency

It was unclear at first because nothing in 20202 can be easy, but the votes are pretty much all in and Joseph R. Biden shall be the next President of our United States. There are those who will refuse to accept the results (President Donald Trump included), but Biden won the popular vote as well as the electoral vote. Enough people were disgusted with Donald Trump's behavior and vitriol to go for the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ticket. 

Plus yes, we now have a lady Vice President who is a woman of color, that's quite cool! I just hope that the next four years can be relatively mellow and boring compared to the madness and hate that has reigned before. I'm optimistic for the first time in a while about our Nation, that's good!
