• By next week, they’ll be telling us Harris was never even in the Biden administration.
• Joe Biden quit the presidential race, but in his national address on Wednesday night he did not really tell us why. The closest he got was a vague, cursory reference to being unable to unite his party: “In recent weeks, it has become clear to me that I need to unite my party in this critical endeavor. I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future, all merited a second term. But nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy.” Perhaps he felt that the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Chuck Schumer had pried the nomination out of his hands. But it was obvious from the polls and his age that he had no path to reelection. Once again the president looked and sounded every one of his eighty-one and a half years—speaking in a soft, raspy voice, failing to enunciate, and mumbling at times. Like it or not, Joe Biden intends to remain commander in chief for the next six months. May God watch over him, and us, for all of those days.
