There was nothing organic about the sitting president suddenly ending his campaign. A well-connected group of elites led by Nancy Pelosi decided to push him out the door. It didn't matter that they would have to throw out all the primary votes in the process. All that mattered was holding onto power at any cost. Pelosi stabbed Biden in the back, making it impossible for him to remain the nominee as the donor class also joined her effort, ensuring the money supply would dry up.

On the one hand, what occurred is a slap in the face to the democratic process. On the other hand, you have to respect the ruthlessness with which Pelosi and her party operate. They don't care about anything but winning elections, and there are no lines they won't cross to get their desired result. In the before times, it was unthinkable to force an incumbent president off the ticket in July. They did it, though, and instead of it backfiring, it's currently paying dividends in the form of a much more winnable election for them.

Yup.
