LBJ

Over the past year talks about Biden dropping out of the race have been hot and cold. Things like Gaza suggest Biden may consider dropping out but as those types of things pass the talk disappears. LBJ decided not to run for a second term in April just before the democratic convention held in August in Chicago. The economy will be heating up and the Ukraine war will continue to put a strain on oil production so it is possible that gas prices may rise above four dollars this summer. Will this be the impetus for Biden to drop out. Most feel it is too late but stranger things have happened. The country was stunned when LBJ made his announcement. This brought on Hubert Humphrey who tried desperately to disassociate himself from LBJ's war policy. Would VP Harris try to move away from Biden's policies on inflation and immigration. Would she bring back the lost Black voters and push the abortion issue to an election win.
