Biden said all along he wasn't going anywhere and was going to run against Trump and beat him.............right up to the point he stepped aside. Even during the debate he stood firm.
This was a political quo, and anyone with any shred of common sense could see the last couple years Biden wasn't running anything anymore other than his own bowls.
This decision for him to step down was made for him, and forced upon him by those really running the country because they will stop at NOTHING to prevent Trump from being elected..........including side stepping a democratically elected president and his wish to run for office again.
He was given a choice........step aside on your own terms and save face, or you'll be removed and it won't look good for you.
I assure you, Obama, Hillary and Harris have been running the show for years............and they weren't going to take a chance loosing to Trump AGAIN, come he'll or high water.
The real threat to democracy in the US is the democrats and their political quos.
