"Biden admits his own party forced him out of the race," reads a tweet by Fox News.

Joe Biden is an incumbent president who served as vice president for two terms after serving in the U.S. Senate for the 36 prior years. He has been a political fixture for more than half of a century. On Wednesday, July 24th, President Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/07/24/remarks-by-president-biden-in-statement-to-the-american-people/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">announced</a>, "I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation."

Former President Lyndon Johnson was in 1968 the last incumbent president who did not run for reelection.

Democrat Party politics are Democrat Party politics, and whether this is a symptom of disarray therein is up for analysis. The facts are these. Biden is an incumbent president. Incumbent presidents run for reelection on a nearly without-fail basis.

 {ai:summary}<p>Biden's candid admission that his own party nudged him out of the race echoes through the echo chamber of political maneuvers. As he passes the torch to a new generation, whispers of disarray in the Democratic Party linger in the air like stale smoke.</p><p>This isn't just history; it's a seismic shift in power dynamics, reminiscent of bygone eras when incumbents rarely backed down. The political landscape is ripe for change, and who knows what shadows may emerge from this reckoning. #politics</p>
