Multiple reports show that President Joe Biden did voluntarily end his 2024 reelection bid and step down as the Democratic candidate months before Election Day. On July 21, 2024, Biden publicly announced in a letter that he would “stand down” from the race and focus on his duties as president, and he simultaneously endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee. (theguardian.com) Coverage from PBS, CBS, and others confirms that this was a voluntary decision; legally, because Biden had already secured nearly all the Democratic delegates, he could not be forced out and therefore had to step aside of his own accord, which he did. (cbsnews.com) Harris subsequently became the official Democratic presidential nominee in August 2024. (en.wikipedia.org) Since Biden both voluntarily withdrew and did not remain the nominee through Election Day 2024, Chamath’s prediction that “I don’t think Biden is going to step down at all” is wrong.
