Well, that sure was fast. After three weeks of insisting that he was going to drop out of the race, President Joe Biden suddenly dropped out of the race. Many people throughout the media ecosphere, myself included, had speculated that if he were to leave the race, there might be some kind of open process for the party to choose an alternative candidate. The chances of this were always low, but at this point, they seem to be nil. Within 24 hours of Biden’s withdrawal, elite Democrats began lining up behind Vice President Kamala Harris, who as of this writing can claim to be the presumptive nominee. Granted, Biden could make the very same claim right up until the moment he withdrew, but this does seem set in stone.
