President Biden was finally cogent enough to read the writing on the all on Sunday and announced via X that he was going to “stand down” from his bid for reelection. But will over 14 million Democratic Party primary votes already cast in his favor, and more than enough delegates to be named the nominee, what about democracy? Well, during ABC’s Special Report covering the breaking news, chief Washington Correspondent Jon Karl huffed that Republicans were gearing up to take the Democratic Party to court to protect the voters and their rights.
“Well, you have two things that you're going to have now in terms of blowback from the Republicans,” Karl announced. He then put on something of a mocking voice and seemed to rhetorically scoff at the idea of defending voters rights:
‘This would be anti-democratic. This would be in defiance of democracy, that, you know, the idea that, he's won the primary, he's won 14 million votes And now the Democrats are going to, you know, if they try to switch him out, we will challenge that. Those voters had a right.’
“So, you know, the whether those legal challenges will succeed are highly uncertain,” he added.
