After Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he would be dropping out of the 2024 presidential race, New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi suggested that the “big lesson” in all this is that “bullying works.”
I suppose it all depends on what one considers “bullying” to be. Perhaps Democrats’ openly expressing concerns as to whether Biden could beat Donald Trump is “bullying,” but that seems a bit strong. It isn’t as if anyone held Biden over a toilet by his ankles and gave him a swirlie or tripped him and took his Pokémon cards. Fellow Democrats simply told him the truth: His cognitive abilities had declined to a point where it was unclear whether he could make it to the November election, much less serve four more years beyond that point.
