Biden informed senior campaign and White House officials that he would withdraw from the presidential race shortly before the letter was released, according to a senior White House official.
The official said President Joe Biden he had been thinking about it for the past two days.
Republicans ready for all scenarios
In an interview Thursday at the Republican National Convention with Politico, Trump campaign senior adviser Chris LaCivita said that if Harris replaces Biden as running mate, it won’t change the map for them and that Republicans are preparing for any scenario.
“Last time I checked, it’s Biden-Harris,” he said. “So everything Biden has done is an issue that she is complicit in.”
He also called Harris the “Gaslighter-in-Chief” for insinuating that Biden was fine and dandy.
