Biden's sudden exit and the canonisation of his hopeless VP is a dismal chapter in American politics – one that will further erode trust in the democratic process, says Tony Morrison.
Will Trump ever admit he was wrong to back lockdown in March 2020 – a decision that doomed America to years of crisis and sank his re-election hopes that year? Jeffrey Tucker is hopeful that truth will finally prevail.
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.
President Biden delayed stepping down in part because he doubted Kamala Harris was up to the challenge of an election battle with Donald Trump, sources have said.

Donald Trump has vowed to axe Government support for electric cars and other green schemes from "day one" if he regains control of the White House.
There's a reason that electricity costs twice as much in Britain as in the USA, says Dr. John Fernley. It's because of brainless plans like Ed Miliband's to power us with a sun that doesn't shine when we need it most.
Did God save Donald Trump? That's what many are claiming, including the man himself. Such supposed acts of divine intervention can be handy politically, but even the Vatican is increasingly sceptical, says Steven Tucker.
