Understood, and than you for posting. But now it just serves as misinformation to people scrolling through their feed. Upvoting would only contribute to people being confused.

Don’t upvote this. The opposite of this headline is true.

If that were the case, why not just serve out the term and not run again? Surely this out of the blue announcement would be a bigger embarrassment than early retirement.

I’m in agreement with your comments, but this is basically what Biden ran on and it brought us here. I listened to his recent interview on Pod Save America and he is definitely cut from the same “move past our differences and bring America together” cloth. While I’d vote for that in the general, I’d volunteer for a candidate who promises accountability such as deporting Musk and investigating and impeaching Trump’s cronies who remain in office.

Thank you for the primary source!

To this point- Biden is still the president for 62 more days. Trump has shown what he plans to do with power, and what is Biden doing? The headlines from today were going to the rainforest and awarding CHIPS act money. Not rallying the resistance or doing anything to meaningfully protect us. It’s hard to imagine Biden doing it, but I could see a more energetic and youthful leader actually trying to be a speed bump for Trump. What a shame we’re here.

Fun fact, the US gov already has a government efficiency division and it’s called the Government Accountability Office. But I do enjoy the irony of Trump’s government having two efficiency departments.

Two small points-

1. he brought the classified docs case earlier and that case has been dismissed pending appeal, so I don’t think the timing matters there.
2. due to the Supreme Court’s interference, we are probably still a year from a verdict. They were going to help him avoid accountability no matter when the charges were brought.
