They should be mad. Biden stands down with a perfect 1-0 record of defeating Trump with no chance of rematch.
Why would you come with a campaign tweaked against a specific opponent and not with a program that is the best for the majority of the citizen? Politics is really stupid especially in 2024!
Do they think the dems didn’t spend a bunch promoting Biden?
The nice thing about spending money in support of a candidate is that if that candidate withdraws and chooses to back another candidate then most of that campaign money spent is still a net positive.
Whereas, the GOP's entire attack strategy almost certainly focused on just Biden and not a whole lot of policy attacks. With Biden out, that money may as well be a pile of cash they lit on fire. They've also spent quite a bit on content they haven't released yet that is no longer relevant to this election.
Let's hope we can focus more on Trump's mental acuity (or lack thereof) from here on out.
The fact that they're so mad about this makes me think that Biden was a much weaker incumbent than I realized, and that the choice to replace him was the right one.
And maybe withdrawing so late might not be as bad after all. Sure, it’s going to be tough for dems to rework their campaign, but it’s going to be tough for reps as well when their campaign revolved around Biden.
Calling it now.
They'll say it's a conspiracy and Biden is running things behind the scenes as head of the deep state, Kamala is just a puppet
He's gonna be the forever bogeyman.
If they don't want to run a campaign against their opponent they can keep it completely at the policy level for the policy they endorse like project 2025.
So, what you're telling me is that by finally conceding to giving up on reelection, Biden achieved one hell of a victory against the whiny orange?

Here's to hoping you 'muricans don't fuck this chance.
Well yeah, they've probably printed enough Geriatric Joe propaganda to last all the way to the election.
