‘A bolt out of the blue’: 5 Christian leaders react to Biden dropping out of presidential race
Albert Mohler
Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and host of “The Briefing” podcast, addressed the announcement of Biden in an episode of his podcast.
“Well, you’re going to remember yesterday. It’s going to be one of those days etched into the American historical memory, particularly as related to presidential elections,” Mohler said.
“The announcement that came yesterday was a bolt out of the blue, and the indications of that are that members of the administration itself had been at least engaging the press as late as Sunday morning insisting that the president was not going to withdraw from the race.”
Mohler believed that “Joe Biden hitched his wagon to a very liberal trend, a liberal ideology” and that “if indeed Kamala Harris is the next nominee, you’re talking about a vast leap to the left in terms of political ideology.”
