Matt Gagnon discusses Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, criticizing the timing and its impact on Kamala Harris’s campaign. Biden’s late withdrawal gave Harris only a few months to campaign, which Gagnon argues was detrimental. Initially, Harris experienced a surge in enthusiasm and polls, but ultimately, she wouldn’t have won. Gagnon suggests that if Biden had dropped out earlier, a real primary would have occurred, potentially offering better candidates. He also notes that Biden’s internal polling indicated he was never losing, similar to Obama’s 2012 campaign. Gagnon concludes that Biden’s revisionist history about his potential victory is unfounded.
