President Joe Biden is stepping aside as the presumptive Democrat nominee after his party helped ensure he staved off a real primary challenge, effectively disenfranchising voters across the Democrat base.
The effort began in December 2022 when Biden penned a letter to the Democrat National Committee asking for changes to the nominating process, including reordering the primary calendar.
“Our early states must reflect the overall diversity of our party and our nation – economically, geographically, demographically. This means more diverse states earlier in the process and more diversity in the overall mix of early states,” Biden wrote to the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
The DNC moved to grant Biden’s requests a day later, first and foremost making South Carolina the first state to vote in the Democrat nominating process, breaking from the tradition of the Iowa Caucus being first.
Importantly, South Carolina saved what looked to be Biden’s doomed campaign in 2020 after he had awful showings in the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
What’s the next stupid Democrat surprise?
