Biden decision to drop out shows there’s a looming threat to democracy – and it’s not Trump

This op-ed originally appeared in Fox News on July 21, 2024.

Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race on Sunday only affirms what we’ve known, despite media running interference for him for years, about his incapacity and inability to handle the rigors of another presidential election campaign. The American people saw it clearly. That’s s why they prefer President Trump’s reelection by overwhelming margins.

For months, members of the left and the liberal media have tried to pull the curtain over the eyes of the American electorate. They played American voters for fools in the weeks following the debate after the president’s cognitive decline was made abundantly clear. But now, Joe Biden has all but admitted to what his adversaries, and even members of his own party, have said repeatedly – he is unfit to serve in the Office of the President for another four years.

This isn’t the end of the story, though, and we cannot allow the left to turn a new page without accountability. The media must be held accountable for its lies on behalf of a decrepit president for so long. The courtiers and aides who defended their power and privilege at his expense, including Jill and Hunter, must be held accountable. And, most of all, the Democratic power structure that just successfully executed a coup against a sitting president must be held accountable.
