According to Halperin:
• Joe Biden plans to announce withdrawal from nomination process as early as this weekend, Sunday most likely.
• Biden advisor Jon Meacham polishing up remark for delivery to the nation.
• Joe Biden with NOT resign the presidency and will finish the remainder of his term.
• Interestingly, Joe Biden will NOT endorse VP Kamala Harris. Biden will let the convention decide.
• There will be an open convention with Kamala Harris and about 3 others on the first ballot.
• The infamous super delegates, deep DNC insiders, will not be allowed to vote on 1st ballot. This point is moot because no one is going to win on the first ballot.
• Kamala Harris is planning her convention strategy around a full ticket proposal. Harris is vetting at least four possible running mates, including Andy Beshear and possibly Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
If you understand the nature of Democrat politics, specifically if you have understood this was a long-ago-decided replacement strategy, then you will see how the Pelosi group positioned Gavin Newsom for this series of events.
The DNC controls the mechanisms. The first-round ballot will include too many names for any single candidate to emerge the victor. The super delegates, the ones who really are the party power brokers, will then make their decisions.
Gavin Newsom has been playing the loyal Democrat supporter of Biden, specifically because he knew this moment was coming. Every move was gaming and pretending. It is more than likely that Newsom will exit as the consensus candidate in second, perhaps third round.
It was always going to happen this way.
