Several people close to President Biden said they believe that he has begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win in November and may have to drop out of the race. The four people all described the situation as extremely delicate and spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid offending the president.

One of the people warned that Mr. Biden had not reached a decision after three weeks of insisting that he would continue his campaign. But another said that “reality is setting in” and that it wouldn’t be a surprise if Mr. Biden were to soon announce that he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.

The first part of Trump’s speech was actually very good. He was somber and reflective and called for unity.

Then the next hour+ was the same old Trump. He rambled so much he somehow landed on the topic of cannibalism.

god that speech was terrible. Yeah the first part was fine. He did have a few lines about unity and talked about his assassination attempt (which was still overblown and dramatic imo) but after that he just went on for an hour incoherently, lied about pretty much everything, and made America seem like we’re one second away from total destruction.

Same old Trump. Same old bullshit.

It’s always fear mongering. “The dems want to kill your babies and rape them but i will save you!” “The economy will crumble without me!!”

And an alarming amount of people believe it.

Well to be fair, he was literally inch(es) away from death.
