Former Oklahoma Gov. David Walters, who served the state from 1991 to 1995, said he was relieved after President Joe Biden announced his decision to not seek reelection.Walters now serves on the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee, where he is one of 45 people who serve on the committee. He has set his focus on helping his party find its next nominee. "He's had a tremendous career. He's probably the most accomplished president in my lifetime," Walters said. Walters said did not see Biden as the best fit to win again in November, saying that the debate in late June was the dam-breaker to the recent fallout. “He believes, and I believe, it’s important that Donald Trump does not serve again as president of the United States,” Walters said. Melody Huckaby Rowlett, a University of Oklahoma political science professor, told KOCO 5 that Biden's decision could bring a lot more eyes to the upcoming national convention, which is just a few weeks away. “I do think this gives Democrats the chance to reconfigure their team, come out of the convention in August in a very excited way, and be able to carry their messages without being distracted by all the anti-Biden stuff,” Walters said. Moments after Biden announced in a letter that his race was ending, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. However, Walters wants a competition for that nominee spot rather than a coronation. “A little competition makes the ultimate choice a lot stronger,” Walters said. Walters said he is excited about the possibility of Harris getting nominated, as he believes it would turn the tables in the debate over who is a better fit for office. “I do think the script is flipped now, and we can call into question Donald Trump’s age and capacity to perform,” Walters said. Walters is now expecting more eyes to be on the Democratic National Convention to see who will go head-to-head against former president and now Republican nominee Donald Trump. The convention is set to take place in Chicago starting Aug. 18.Top HeadlinesPresident Biden ends reelection bid, endorses VP Harris1 dead following multi-vehicle crash near GuthrieRETRO FIND: The hottest toys of summer ‘97This grocery store item is beloved in the US.
