The Southern Truth: It’s Official, Biden Bows Out. Who Will the New Nominee Be? Kamala? We Will See.

It happened, he’s out. President Joe Biden has bowed out after so much pressure and the fact that he simply needs the rest. He has run the test and he has won. He won against Donald J. Trump and he will forever go down in history as the one who beat Trump. Let’s face it. The Democrats knew Biden had potential for a second term and they stood their ground until Biden’s weaknesses showed in the debate and that’s when it all went down. Biden left the Democrats looking like clowns.

It was downhill afterward and they still tried to save face, but it was time for good old boy Biden to get out of the race. Let’s give George Clooney and the Hollywood elites their standing ovation for calling the shots, even when Nancy and her ilk vacillated and weighed the critical matter. They couldn’t stop the debate debacle because in the end, all the world chatter really did actually matter. Why? Too many deals are at play for the Republicans to get the House and the Senate too. Deals and more deals are on the table, so it was time for all the Democrats to come to their senses and join Clooney and all the others who saw what the world saw in the televised and social media-covered debate. It was a disaster, and the reality is that it was not fake. It was Joe, and it was shown that for Joe, leading the Democrats was much too late.

Then, Trump gets shot. Wow. Now certainly, for the Republicans, this would seal the deal.

How do you win against what seems to be providential? Trump falls down and he gets back up again with the world watching and saying he is going to win again.

It didn’t look good, especially in the Black neighborhoods. Looking at what is happening in New York, Detroit and neighboring cities like Chicago, the Black community, in my humble opinion, believes it is the best thing for Biden to do, and you know what? In spite of all the pressure, I believe he did it with dignity.

Reading what he said in a letter made public on Fox News, his words were with profound humility. He said, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president.” “While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term.”

Biden, like the prodigal son, came to his senses after being in the trenches during times of weakness. He fought a good fight, and he reminds me of the message in the Bible, the book of Hebrews, where the unknown author said, “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Biden decided to bow out and focus on the race that is set before him now as the President of the United States and to allow time for the Democrats to find another to run in the race in his place to beat Donald J. Trump.

Now the attention is back on the Democrats to bring to pass the words of former U.S. President Gerald Ford, who spoke about how a woman will become president. Although, Ford said the president will die, Biden is very much alive; however, he as a Democratic nominee is dead and he, himself, has nominated Harris to be his successor. So it still fits Ford’s scenario and we are seeing and watching Harris being thrust in the lead to be the first woman President of these United States of America. So the prophetic words of the former President Ford is about to come to pass. Will Hillary rise again? Who knows we will see who it will be?
