UPDATE: Hugh Hewitt reacted to the news that President Joe Biden has dropped his re-election campaign. The nationally-syndicated radio host reacted on his X feed, noting that President Joe Biden has given in to former President Obama and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Reportedly, both Democratic figures have raised concerns about Biden's chances privately. 

The news of Biden's decision came after dozens of Democratic lawmakers urged the current president to drop his re-election bid. The Biden campaign had been rocked by turmoil since his poorly-reviewed debate performance against former President Donald Trump in June.

And like that, @JoeBiden gives in to ⁦⁦@BarackObama⁩ and @SpeakerPelosi⁩. In the best tradition of defenders of democracy, they pulled off a coup. Now will they shiv @VP Harris? pic.twitter.com/Mix5U2pHya
