Following weeks of ongoing speculations, theories, confusion, and pressure, sitting President Joseph Biden has issued a formal announcement to the American people, confirming that he is dropping out of the 2024 presidential election, just mere weeks away from November election day.
President Biden has faced growing demands in recent weeks to step down and withdraw from the 2024 election, where he was slated to once again go head-to-head with now-former President Donald Trump. Calls increased exponentially following his troubling debate performance, resulting in high-level figures within the Democratic party, including the likes of former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, pressuring the president to step aside.
In a follow-up post from his letter, the sitting president officially threw his endorsement behind his current Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Trump was quick to release a nasty, vile statement in the direct aftermath of Biden’s withdrawal from the race, not only attack Joe, but adding that, “Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same.”
But, like most every other scenario when it comes to Donald Trump, it seems as though Donnie didn’t clear out his own closet before attempting to attack someone else — because he was once a pretty big fan of Kamala Harris, according to a bombshell resurfaced report from The Sacramento Bee.
So much so, actually, that he and his eldest daughter Ivanka actually DONATED to Kamala’s campaign for California Attorney General, in 2011 as well as 2013.
The Bee’s report reads:
In 2011 and again in 2013, Trump donated a total of $6,000 to Harris’ campaign for California attorney general. His daughter, Ivanka, also gave Harris $2,000 in 2014.
The first donation from Trump, for $5,000 in September 2011, came months after he had begun popping up on cable news promoting a conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya, not the United States, something that’s been widely condemned as racist.
Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams told McClatchy that Harris donated the $6,000 Trump had contributed to a non-profit that advocates for civil and human rights for Central Americans. But that donation wasn’t made until 2015, a year after she won her reelection for attorney general and as she was launching her run for the Senate.
People are quickly spreading Trump’s dirty laundry all across social media as we speak:
