Newsmax’s Mark Halperin reported Thursday afternoon that President Biden will drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, and instead call for an open convention in Chicago. Halperin told ‘FRONTLINE’ host Carl Higbie that advisers around Harris are fine with this because she will be seen as independent of the president. Bidenworld is contradicting this report. See below.

“They do not want what some of my sources have been calling a Kamala coronation, that the problem, in part, that they found themselves in was that President Biden was not seriously challenged for the nomination,” Halperin reported. “At least one of her allies said to me, this is better, better to not be anointed by Joe Biden, better to show independence, better to show with a strong ticket, the capacity to win the nomination on her own.”

    Let us examine whether they move closer to the truth or simply perpetuate another rumor according to Media Insiders.

      Yes, I was thinking nebulous sources could just be muddying the waters (or poisoning the well, as some would call it).
