The New York Post accurately summed up the Democrat National Convention on their front page:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted the following on X:
I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.
Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.
Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes.
I call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.
If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party.
During his press conference yesterday on the Biden withdrawal, Kennedy said that Harris does not stand for anything.
It is also interesting to note that former President Barack Obama has called for an open convention.
Too bad Theodore H. White is no longer among the living. If he were alive, he would be writing The Making of the President 2024 and it would be an interesting chronicle of a topsy-turvy election campaign.
So His Fraudulency Joe Biden decided to finally read the tea leaves and withdraw from campaigning for another term. He made his announcement about a couple of hours ago and, in a later message, endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
Well, she is no shoo-in by any means. She has no record of distinction, only failure. She's Biden's "border czar" and has done absolutely nothing to stem the invasion of illegals at the southern border. She has to answer for the cover-up of Biden's infirmity. Her poll numbers are lower than Biden's.
She was a lousy California attorney general and a lousy U.S. senator.
Even though Biden endorsed her, the Democrat convention will probably be an open one. It is possible we may see more than one ballot taken before a nominee is selected. It has been said that 14 million Democrat voters have been disenfranchised over this withdrawal.
She is at a disadvantage concerning money. Biden's campaign coffers don't automatically go to her. There are some legal ramifications involved.
I had a feeling that Biden would drop out this weekend. I almost said so in a blog post on Tulsi Gabbard and Kamala Harris a few days ago.
Things are really getting interesting.
