From a political strategist’s perspective, the numbers don’t lie. Both Biden and the American public have had ample opportunity to review numerous sociological studies indicating his almost impossible chances of defeating Trump. Following the Republican convention, which I have analyzed in separate posts, it’s clear that the Republicans have strengthened their position.

For example, the introduction of J.D. Vance as a candidate will resonate in key battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Additionally, the apparent unity among all candidates around Trump, evidenced by the appearances of Nikki Haley and other former critics now supporting him, further consolidates their strength.

Within the Democratic Party, a long-prepared decision has come to fruition. I am aware of extensive discussions between key Democratic leaders in Congress and Biden. I believe this decision is the right one. Again, the numbers don’t lie.

We can expect to see further messaging and team strategy unfold at the upcoming Democratic convention.
