It鈥檚 been an incredible 10 days if you are into politics or history.

President Donald Trump took a bullet for democracy in a Pennsylvania field on July 13; President Joe Biden bit the bullet for democracy Sunday from his oceanside home in Rehoboth Beach, Republicans held their national convention last week in Milwaukee where Trump made triumphant appearances wearing an ear bandage following the July 13 assassination attempt, Democrats and Republicans both forced the Secret Service director to resign, and New Mexico鈥檚 Democratic lawmakers rebuffed the Democratic governor鈥檚 public safety agenda Thursday in a special session that lasted just hours.

It鈥檚 been a busy time in the news business. But the fog of breaking news can lead to misconceptions.

For example, President Biden didn鈥檛 decide 鈥渘ot to run again鈥� as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on X on Sunday. Biden was hounded out of the presidential race at the ninth hour, well after the presidential primaries and just a month before the Democratic National Convention, under intense pressure from members of his own political party. And he鈥檚 reportedly very angry about how it all went down.

Biden鈥檚 acolytes were still spinning his determination to run for reelection on Sunday morning鈥檚 network TV political shows. By noon, he had been forced to surrender 鈥� halfway.

There鈥檚 nothing magnanimous or patriotic, thus far at least, about Biden鈥檚 exit from the presidential race. He was forced into the decision by cratering donations, polling for a year showing him trailing Trump in battleground states, and the realization from top Democrats like former Speaker Nancy Pelosi that Biden had no path to victory in November.

He could go the easy way, or the hard way if he made Democrats tighten the thumbscrews as their campaign donations also dried up.

Democratic guru Van Jones, somehow CNN鈥檚 senior political commentator, described anguished efforts to convince Biden to step out of the presidential race as painful and heartbreaking. Jones likened it to taking the car keys away from Grandpa.

But that鈥檚 not what happened. Democrats didn鈥檛 take the car keys away from Grandpa. It was more like, 鈥淕randpa, pull over. I鈥檒l drive us home.鈥�

Grandpa still has his car keys, and in Biden鈥檚 case, the nuclear codes.

There鈥檚 still the pressing matter that needs to be settled of who is going to run the nation until January.

It鈥檚 too bad Biden didn鈥檛 let go of power a month ago. He鈥檚 been dangling in the wind for three and a half weeks, compounded by a case of COVID, which is no joke at his age, after his disastrous performance in the June 27 debate that left him mortally wounded politically.

Biden should have given the full measure and resigned soon after that pivotal debate instead of leaving himself in a position to be forced out of the presidential race by his so-called friends. It appears his family and true friends, if he has any after a half century in Washington, D.C., failed him and led to his inglorious political ending.

We鈥檙e expecting to hear from President Biden at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Mainstream media will probably portray his speech as a magnanimous gesture by a most consequential and valiant president who chose on his own accord to pass the torch to a new and multi-ethnic generation. The rest of us will more accurately perceive it as a hostage video.

If Joe Biden plans to stay on as president, and deny his 2020 running mate invaluable experience in the Oval Office, he needs to explain why he isn鈥檛 up to run for reelection, but is up to run the nation for six more months.

If he can鈥檛 handle the demands of the campaign trail, how can he handle the demands of being the leader of the free world? Our military service members here in New Mexico and across the globe deserve and need a strong and attentive commander in chief to lead them in a perilous world at war.

If Joe Biden can鈥檛 paint a vision for America behind a teleprompter, how can he lead the nation behind the resolute desk?

If he can鈥檛 safely drive a car, how can he steadfastly steer the nation, day and night?

If he鈥檚 unfit to run, isn鈥檛 he also unfit to serve?

We can all see now that Biden鈥檚 June 27 debate performance wasn鈥檛 an episode, it鈥檚 a condition. Van Jones is right that this is painful for the nation to witness, just as if it were a family member. Presidents are part of our extended families in American life, love 鈥榚m or hate 鈥榚m. Poor vice presidents are little known. Recall President Ford鈥檚 vice president offhand?

Questions about Biden鈥檚 cognition will inevitably dog him for six more months if he doesn鈥檛 do the responsible thing and resign now. Discussions about invoking the 25th Amendment are picking up steam and will trail him like a lonely puppy if he clings to office.

If President Biden resigns, he will have truly done something patriotic and selfless. There is nothing shameful whatsoever about retiring from public life or work. He鈥檚 earned it. He should spend more time with the grand kids and work on his golf game at his leisure.

But if he stays, Biden will be ridiculed and demeaned endlessly, our military folks will continue holding their breath wondering who鈥檚 in charge, and Biden鈥檚 legacy will be cemented as a stubborn old man who didn鈥檛 know when to hang them up.
