Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, shared his views on President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. In a video released earlier, Portnoy speculated that the Bidens had negotiated a deal with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) substantial enough to persuade them not to pursue another election campaign.

"Captain Dave checking in 30 miles out to sea off Nantucket. The big news, Joe Biden. Joe Biden says he’s not running for re-election, which will conclude probably the greatest negotiation in the history of America," said Portnoy. He questioned what incentives were offered to Biden and his family by the DNC to step down.

Portnoy expressed skepticism about Biden's capability, suggesting that those in power had been aware of his limitations but waited until now to act. "They whacked Joe when the powers that be sent him out for that debate with Trump," he stated.

He also criticized potential candidates like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer while discussing who might replace Biden. "They can handpick, basically, who the replacement is going to be… Is it Gavin Newsom, that slimebag from California. I hope not," he commented.

Despite stepping down from the race, Portnoy noted that Biden remains President and questioned this situation given doubts about his fitness for office: "But he’s still going to be President... He still has the keys to the nukes."

Portnoy also addressed claims about Kamala Harris's chances in a primary election against other Democratic candidates: "Kamala did not have a chance in hell in winning a primary race against the other power-hungry neo-Marxists."

"There is no way Kamala would have been the nominee if Joe Biden dropped out before the Democratic Primary and had to run vs other candidates," Portnoy concluded on social media.
