I've been away for a few days. I come back, I want to know why Pres. #JoeBiden suddenly announced he wouldn't seek the nomination. What changed Sunday?

I haven't come across a good answer yet. If you've seen an article with a good explanation, please reply with the link.

@mpjgregoire Schumer, Pelosi, and Jeffries all visited him and recommended he step down. Apparently Pelosi was getting ready to play hardball.

That, plus the ever-growing tide of elected Dems calling for the same made it an inevitable decision.

Also, it wasn't sudden at all. He had been considering it for a while now, but they had to maintain the appearance of strength, so they couldn't say that until after he was out.
