“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.

    ‘Who?’

    As you edited your comment, I will too.

    I know of and respect the man- I am a total NASA fanboy. The issue is he does not have general name recognition and they have very little time to get things out there.

    Having a scientist in the White House would be amazing.

      Agreed, he does not have general name recognition. But he does have a compelling story for every major news organization to jump on, and information flows faster than it ever has. 2 months and change is plenty enough.

      He also has an identical twin with a nearly identical career, effectively giving him the ability to campaign in two places at once.
