The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3:

5:05pm- On Sunday, in a post to the social media platform X, President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw immediately from the 2024 presidential race. He reasoned: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” Later Biden posted once more from his X account, endorsing his Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor: “My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats—it’s time to come together and beat Trump.”

5:10pm- In response to Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, Frank Biden—the president’s brother—said that the Joe’s health played a major role in his decision to step aside and endorse Kamala Harris.

5:20pm- Leave or Else: Isabel Vincent of The New York Post writes: “Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post. The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday… Part of the ‘elaborate’ strategy to remove Biden from the race—as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday—was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta. During the car crash 90-minute debate, Biden appeared confused, slack-jawed and at one point he froze up, with his shocking performance turning the tide against him.” She continues: “Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/us-news/top-dems-threatened-to-remove-biden-unless-he-resigned/

5:30pm- Kamala Harris is “unburdened by what has been!” PLUS while appearing on CNN, Van Jones cried when hearing the news that Joe Biden had decided to withdraw from the 2024 presidential campaign. Matt reveals that he saw Van at the Milwaukee airport last week!

5:40pm- While appearing on Fox News, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he believes Democrats will ultimately bypass Kamala Harris and make Michelle Obama their party’s presidential nominee.

5:50pm- Earlier today, President Joe Biden called into the Kamala Harris campaign team (which had been his campaign team prior to his withdraw on Sunday). Biden told the team: “I know yesterday’s news was surprising.” He also vowed to campaign alongside Harris.
