WaPo editorial board pens hypothetical July 4th Biden withdrawal speech
Fox News
The speech discusses how the founders of the country knew there were "seasons to a life" and "seasons of service," applying it to President Biden's future in the White House.
"They knew, too, that relying on a single individual, a king, might create the illusion of strength but would be at its core fragile," the speech reads. "Over the past few days, I have been reflecting on all this. My season of service is nearing its close. This was a hard truth to face. But it is the natural course of things — as evident as the progression from spring to summer, from fall to winter. This is why I have decided to withdraw from the campaign for president of the United States." Kendall Tietz is a Production Assistant with Fox News Digital.
As next steps, the WaPo editorial board proposes an open Democratic convention that would include debates between now and the August convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris would participate.
