In the end, President Joe Biden exited the political stage in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After weeks of fighting for his political life \u2013 insisting he wasn\u2019t going anywhere following a disastrous debate performance \u2013 the president\u2019s about-face did not come in an Oval Office address or a speech on the campaign trail. Instead, it came in letter posted to social media as he recovered from Covid-19 at his beach house in Delaware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a low-key way to reveal one of the most historic decisions in modern American politics, but time was not on Biden\u2019s side to reach a decision or make an announcement. Never before has a president left a reelection race this close to Election Day \u2013 and for 24 days it seemed as if he were stubbornly planning to ride out the storm that followed the June 27 CNN debate in Atlanta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spent the three weeks after the debate repeating that he was staying in the race against former President Donald Trump. The president dug in. He insisted he could beat Trump. His inner circle shrank to his closest aides and family. He was forced to retreat to Delaware, where he reached a decision in the last day-and-a-half, finally conceding that a man loyal to the Democratic Party for more than a half-century was seen as a drag on the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in the end, the pressure on Biden from party leaders, rank-and-file lawmakers and donors \u2013 and the polling showing the perilous and potentially insurmountable path Biden faced amid a growing deficit with Trump \u2013 ultimately proved too much. Described as being more isolated than he had ever been, Biden could not withstand the push behind the scenes and in public. The blunt reality became a chorus of voices calling for the president to exit the race, like a boulder rolling down a mountain that only picked up momentum with each passing day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president\u2019s team wanted the June CNN debate with Trump \u2013 months earlier than typical presidential debates \u2013 to shake up a race that Biden was trailing. They succeeded, but not in the way they had intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Biden\u2019s campaign unraveled over the course of the next 24 days. Everything the president and his team tried to do to calm Democrats\u2019 fears simply failed to shed the perception that Biden\u2019s age was too advanced, and his health too fragile, for him to stay in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two posts on X Sunday afternoon, Biden bowed out of the race and threw his support behind his vice president, Kamala Harris, in the hopes of quickly coalescing their party and moving past the chaos that had engulfed Democrats since the debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a high-risk, high-reward gamble for Democrats, resetting a campaign Biden was losing with a new nominee just 107 days before the election. It comes as Trump is at his strongest point in the campaign, coming out of a completely unified Republican National Convention with a base rallying around him after the attempt on his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the decision was made
Biden\u2019s final decision to leave the race was reached in the last 48 hours, a senior campaign adviser said, as he consulted family and top advisers by telephone while recovering from Covid. A source familiar with the matter said the plans to exit the race began Saturday night and were finalized on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adviser said the president \u201cwas not dug in\u201d but was studying all of the data coming in and became convinced he would \u201cweigh down\u201d the ticket and be a distraction and complication to defeat Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s decision did not have to do with any medical issues, a senior White House official told CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden asked two of his closest advisers to start the process of drafting the letter and setting the announcement in motion Saturday night, according to another person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president worked with his longtime close adviser and message chief Mike Donilon to draft the letter, the person said. Steve Ricchetti, another longtime adviser dating to his time as vice president, was charged with organizing the mechanics of the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still recovering from a Covid diagnosis, Biden remained at his home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, all weekend with his wife, first lady Dr. Jill Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden did what he always planned to do before any crucial decision: He held a family meeting Saturday night. He has spoken to all of his family since making his decision to drop out of the race, and his daughter Ashley and son-in-law Howard drove to Rehoboth earlier Sunday, according to a source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Biden consulted only a very small number of close aides on the decision. Some members of his inner circle were left in the dark until minutes before he posted his announcement on social media, including one of his closest communications advisers, Anita Dunn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple sources told CNN that Dunn and a small group of senior aides became aware of Biden\u2019s announcement in the minutes before the post. Many rank-and-file staff found out when the post came out. Dunn and her husband, Bob Bauer, were among Biden\u2019s debate prep team and had faced the ire of the president\u2019s family in the aftermath of the debate. A Biden aide disputed that her exclusion had anything to do with the debate, telling CNN that she, along with other top aides, was not in Rehoboth Beach, and that \u201cthe president told his aides that neither he or his family blame them for debate performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden and Harris spoke multiple times Sunday ahead of his announcement, according to a source familiar with the matter. Biden also held separate calls with chief of staff Jeff Zients and campaign co-chair Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon informing each of his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Washington on Sunday, Zients led a White House senior staff call with all assistants to the president in the mid-afternoon, as well as a call with members of Biden\u2019s Cabinet. Zients is expected to hold an all-White House staff call Monday morning, and speak with political appointees across the executive branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even his vice president and pick to succeed him, didn\u2019t find out until the day he announced his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2018bad night\u2019 changes the race
In the end, Biden was confronting an untenable path forward: More than three dozen Democrats had publicly called for him to exit the race. Party leaders had told him he couldn\u2019t win. And the money was drying up from donors who said they felt betrayed by the lack of disclosure around the condition of Biden\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know one big donor who is going to write a check for $100,000 or more. And I know a lot of those guys,\u201d one major Democratic donor told CNN before Biden dropped out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden and his team tried to play off the debate performance as a \u201cbad night.\u201d He and his aides blamed the president\u2019s overseas trip. He said he would debate again and do better. And he returned immediately to the campaign trail, traveling to North Carolina the following day and delivering an energetic speech while acknowledging his debate shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m not a young man. I don\u2019t walk as easy as I used to. I don\u2019t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don\u2019t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden huddled with his family at Camp David the weekend after the debate for a previously scheduled get-together, during which they encouraged him to stay in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in Democratic circles, panic had already set in. The issue problem was plain as day: Biden\u2019s biggest problem with voters was they didn\u2019t feel he was up to the job for the next four years. The debate had confirmed their fears and brought Biden\u2019s biggest political weakness to the forefront. No policy or statement or criticism of Trump could change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as Biden insisted there was nothing that could convince him to get out of the race, Democrats began laying the groundwork and keeping the door open to a change. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went on MSNBC, saying: \u201cI think it\u2019s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode, or is this a condition?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas was the first elected Democrat to call for Biden to withdraw on July 2. The following day, Biden met with a group of Democratic governors, telling them he needed more sleep and should stop scheduling events after 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 5, Biden sat down for an interview with ABC News\u2019 George Stephanopoulos, in an attempt to demonstrate he was able to keep campaigning. In the interview, Biden said that only the \u201cLord Almighty\u201d could convince him to leave the race, a comment that angered many Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first of several attempts from Biden\u2019s team to put the president in the public eye and quell the growing discontent. All failed to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs of trouble
After July 4, Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, quietly tried to gather a group of Democrats who would hold a meeting with Biden, potentially urging him to exit the race. The idea died, however, when the effort leaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries held a call with House Democrats over that weekend, during which several lawmakers said that Biden needed to step aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 8, Biden fired off defiant a letter to congressional Democrats saying he would continue his reelection bid. \u201cI am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calls for Biden to leave soon started coming from outside Washington. On July 10, George Clooney, penned a New York Times op-ed calling for Biden to step aside. Even more devastating for the president, Clooney said the Biden he saw at a June fundraiser was the same Biden the world saw at the June debate and that the president had declined since taking the Oval Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pelosi also continued to raise questions about Biden, declining to endorse him in an MSNBC interview the same day as Clooney\u2019s op-ed. \u201cIt\u2019s up to the president to decide if he\u2019s going to run,\u201d she said, even if that was a decision Biden had already seemed to have made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several news outlets, including CNN, reported that Pelosi and former President Barack Obama had privately expressed concerns about the future of Biden\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 11, Biden held a solo news conference on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Washington. He opened the door a bit further to the possibility he could drop out, saying he would consider doing so if data showed he cannot win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden also made several small verbal slip ups, including calling Harris \u201cVice President Trump.\u201d Earlier in the day, he had referred Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as \u201cPresident Putin,\u201d before correcting himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Biden\u2019s news conference, a handful more congressional Democrats called for him to drop out, growing the number to 15. The list included Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, who said he deliberately waited until after the NATO meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That weekend, Biden met and held calls with various Democratic caucuses, including the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the moderate New Democrat Coalition. The call with moderate Democrats was tense, as Biden got into it with Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat who bluntly told him that voters are concerned about his vigor and strength, especially as it is perceived on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president responded to Crow \u2014 an Army Ranger who served two tours in Afghanistan and one in Iraq \u2014 that he knows Crow is a Bronze Star recipient like his late son Beau, but that \u201che didn\u2019t rebuild NATO.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point, Biden told Crow \u201cI don\u2019t want to hear that crap\u201d in addressing the lawmaker\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brief respite from demands for Biden to exit doesn\u2019t last
More Democrats had been expected to publicly call for Biden\u2019s exit that weekend, but the chatter came to a halt in an instant when an attempted assassin\u2019s bullet came within millimeters of killing Trump at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assassination attempt turned the political world on its head, draining the public focus on Biden\u2019s ability to govern for a second term and turning it squarely onto the bullet that grazed Trump\u2019s ear, raising a flurry of questions about how a gunman was able to shoot at the Republican nominee for president five days before he was to accept the nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pause would not last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behind the scenes, Democratic pollsters circulated memos showing Biden was on track to lose the election, and \u2013 importantly to congressional Democrats \u2013 damage candidates in ballot races, too. Some polling showed other Democrats outpacing Biden in battleground states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLose everything,\u201d was how one Democrat described a polling memo Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg had sent to Biden\u2019s inner circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dam reopened on Wednesday when California Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic Senate candidate and leader of Trump\u2019s first impeachment, became the first lawmaker to join the public calls for Biden to withdraw from the campaign after the assassination attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schiff\u2019s place in the party \u2013 as a potential soon-to-be senator and close ally to Pelosi \u2013 made his voice among the most significant to that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile the choice to withdraw from the campaign is President Biden\u2019s alone, I believe it is time for him to pass the torch,\u201d Schiff said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Party leaders deliver a blunt message
More voices soon followed. And arguably more importantly, the private pleas for Biden to leave the race became part of a public cacophony of voices urging his withdrawal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the Maryland House Democrat who led Trump\u2019s second impeachment, confirmed that he had written a letter to Biden on July 6 encouraging the president that there was \u201cno shame in taking a well-deserved bow\u201d out of the 2024 presidential election \u2013 and making his argument with comparisons to George Washington and Red Sox pitching great Pedro Martinez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN reported Wednesday that Pelosi privately told Biden that polling showed he could not defeat Trump and that he could destroy Democrats\u2019 chances of winning the House in November. Biden pushed back, saying he had seen polls indicating he could win. At one point, Pelosi asked Donilon, Biden\u2019s longtime adviser, to get on the line to talk over the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same day, ABC News reported that Schumer told Biden in their Saturday meeting that it would be best if he bowed out of the presidential race. And a person briefed on the meeting between Biden and Jeffries said that the Democratic House leader stopped short of calling on him to step aside \u2014 instead pinning the suggestion on his members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House and congressional officers tried to tamp down the reports, issuing statements of denial. But the stories about the party leaders delivering Biden a message had their effect. On Friday, a dozen new Democrats released statements saying Biden should exit the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them: Another close Pelosi ally, Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California. A source with direct knowledge described Biden on Friday as \u201cseething\u201d at Pelosi, a sentiment that only grew in light of Lofgren\u2019s letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donors revolt, too
The public statements from Democrats illustrated one element of Biden\u2019s challenge to stay in the race \u2013 but just as important were the defections from his donors that would have dried up fundraising in the home stretch of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Democratic donors were skeptical of Biden\u2019s viability, and multiple said their concerns had received an icy reception from Biden campaign officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow do you think we feel?\u201d a Democratic donor close to the Democratic National Committee and the White House told CNN before Biden dropped out, explaining the mood among donors. \u201cWe all feel betrayed that they were not honest with us about his health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two sources told CNN on Thursday that furious donors were also telling House and Senate Democratic campaign committees they would freeze contributions unless and until party leaders took stronger steps to get Biden to step aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, that card has been played,\u201d a senior House Democrat told CNN Thursday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey believe if Joe is at the top of the ticket, the House and Senate are gone, too,\u201d said a Democratic strategist intimately involved in big-dollar fundraising. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to throw good money after bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moments after Biden\u2019s announcement, donors abruptly began reaching out to advisers, pouring in money, according to sources involved in the discussions. In the leadup to Biden\u2019s decision to exit the 2024 race, multiple donors had reached out to Harris\u2019 team proactively to signal they would be willing to support her if she ran at the top of the ticket, according to three people familiar with the discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stubborn resistance gives way
Up until the moment he dropped out, Biden and his team insisted he was staying in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s team created a public schedule for the president over the past week that was intended to show his ability to stay in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, he held another television interview with NBC News\u2019 Lester Holt, where he acknowledged his sub-par debate performance while criticizing the media for focusing on his gaffes instead of Trump\u2019s falsehoods. Biden again said he had no intention of stepping aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden then traveled to Las Vegas for campaign stops, speeches planned at the NAACP National Convention and the UnidosUS annual conference, and interviews with BET and Univision. Biden told BET News\u2019 Ed Gordon that the only thing that would push him to reconsider his reelection bid would be a \u201cmedical condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president spoke at the NAACP conference, but before he could make his speech Wednesday at UnidosUS, he was dealt another blow: the positive Covid-19 diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president returned to his Rehoboth Beach home that day to isolate, his public schedule shuttered indefinitely while he recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Biden issued a statement Friday that he would be back on the campaign trail the following week, while Biden campaign chair Jen O\u2019Malley went on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe\u201d Friday morning to say Biden was \u201cabsolutely\u201d staying in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign also put out a memo saying there was \u201cno plan for an alternative nominee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden called some Democrats over the weekend who were out on TV on his behalf. Two told CNN that Biden voiced his gratitude and then his anger at those who were trying to push him out. \u201cThere was some hurt in his voice but mostly anger,\u201d one of the Biden loyalists said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even on Sunday, Biden\u2019s team continued to publicly maintain he wasn\u2019t going anywhere. South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, a key Biden ally, told CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper on \u201cState of the Union\u201d that Biden and Harris \u201chave received over 14 million votes to be our standard bearers. That\u2019s where we are,\u201d Clyburn. The congressman\u2019s 2020 endorsement of Biden ahead of the South Carolina primary was widely seen as instrumental in Biden\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden spoke to Harris on Sunday before announcing his decision, which came in two messages: The first saying he was dropping out, and the second endorsing his vice president to be the Democratic nominee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden told his senior-most team he was getting out around 1:45 p.m., and the public letter went out right around then, a source familiar with the timing told CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore that, it was all steam ahead that he\u2019s running,\u201d the same source said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
