The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than “Obama’s third term” was Barack Obama. If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024. This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.

The announcements caught Obama flatfooted. Biden had consulted with his former boss neither on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris. At 12:46 P.M. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.

The endorsement of Harris, also on X, came at 1:13 P.M. The media have expressed no curiosity about the 27-minute gap. If pressure had been brought on Biden to endorse Harris, the Obamas weren’t the ones bringing it.

The Clintons are another story. At 2:10 P.M., Bill and Hillary posted a joint statement on X, declaring, “We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her.” At 2:34 P.M. Alex Soros, scion of the Soros evil empire and fiancé of Hillary intimate Huma Abedin, posted on X, “It’s time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump.” By day’s end, just about every prominent Democrat had hopped on the Harris bandwagon.
