The beach house meeting that changed history, and gave Kamala Harris a launching pad
Emily Elconin—Bloomberg via Getty Imagesresident Biden’s beach house in Rehoboth, Del. sits on a marshy inlet a few blocks from the Atlantic Ocean. The home serves as a retreat for Biden, a place to recharge and reflect and be surrounded by his family. And it was there, on Saturday evening, that Biden finally decided he had gone as far as he could in his race for a second term.
But by the end of the day he knew the time had come to face the pressing question of his political future. The Republicans had just closed out their convention in Milwaukee on Thursday firmly united behind Trump and ready to make concerns about Biden's fitness for a second term a centerpiece of their election strategy going forward.
He told that small group he had come to the historic decision to step out of the race less than four months before Election Day, propelling his party into uncharted waters. They spent the night crafting his statement and plotting a way forward. But that earth-shattering news was held in confidence until the next day.
Knowing the news wouldn’t hold much longer, at 1:45 pm, President Biden got onto a call with his senior advisors and senior campaign aides to tell them he was out. One minute into that meeting, a letter addressed to his “fellow Americans” was posted to his X account in which Biden called serving as President “the greatest honor” of his life.
