Newsmax Commentator Halperin: Biden Exit From WH Race Likely This Weekend
SUMMARY
Journalist and Newsmax commentator Mark Halperin reported Thursday that sources indicate President Joe Biden may withdraw from the presidential election as early as this weekend, with Sunday being the likely day. Speaking from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Halperin noted, "Everyone said it would happen gradually and then all at once. And that's what's happening." A draft speech has been prepared, and Biden will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Instead, he is expected to endorse an open process at the Democratic convention in Chicago. Harris, considered a likely successor, is vetting potential running mates, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro. Other possible contenders for the nomination are California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
