Prominent Democrats Issue Memo Proposes Biden's Mid-July Exit from Presidential Race, Calls for 'Blitz Primary'

Two prominent Democratic donors and strategists, Rosa Brooks and Ted Dintersmith, circulated a memo proposing President Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential race. The memo suggests Biden make an announcement in mid-July bowing out and praising the democratic process. It then proposes a "blitz primary" to choose a new nominee before the August convention, engaging voters through social media and celebrity-moderated forums. The memo was sent to dozens of top Democratic donors, Biden administration officials, and campaign staff to gauge interest.
