I’ve heard a lot of rhetoric on this topic from pundits and folks on the political right who are looking to score on an easy talking point. As someone who voted for Joe Biden in the primary election and I couldn’t have been more ecstatic when he withdrew and endorsed Kamala Harris. My vote in the primary was rooted in a sense of obligation to Democracy, not support of a candidate. Quite frankly, I had serious reservations about the President’s ability to serve a second term. I have yet to meet a person who voted for Biden in the primary election (and will vote for Harris in the general election) who felt betrayed by the President’s choice not to run for a second term. So yes, you are right, Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race was kosher AND it did not subvert the will of the people.
