People close to President Biden say he believes he could have won a second term. But he came to realize that the fight would rip apart the Democratic Party that he had served his whole life.
The article paints it as a personal decision; this surprises me, as I would have thought he would have worked out a deal with figures of the party or Harris, to get something in exchange for his dropping out (such as a guarantee of continued support for Israel, for example).
Really interesting, thank you for sharing.

He could ask for things, but would have no real mechanism to to enforce the other end of the bargain
