President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race seems increasingly likely amid mounting pressure from party leaders, and some experts want to see him do it right before Donald Trump takes to the Republican National Convention stage Thursday to steal the limelight.
Trump is scheduled to give the RNC keynote address shortly after 9 p.m. and several experts say that could be the perfect time for Biden to make the big announcement.
George State University law professor Anthony Michael Kreis wrote on X that Biden would be “an absolute icon” if he bowed out right before Trump’s speech begins.

Writer Parker Molloy says preempting Trump’s speech would, “Just render the entire speech outdated right before he gives it.”
“If Biden's going to drop out, he should 100% do it like 5 minutes before Trump speaks tonight,” Molloy wrote on X.
National Review writer Jeff Blehar hoped it would happen smack dab in the middle of Trump’s speech.
“Biden choosing to officially drop out during the middle of Trump's speech would be the revenge Trump deserves for planning in advance to run 90 minutes long,” Blehar wrote on X.
“May as well make an impact instead of doing it on a random slow news day,” wrote another X user.
