Michael Avenatti just withdrew from the field of candidates for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
Maybe Avenatti saw Markos’ characterization of him yesterday on this site as an “asshole” who is “still!” running. I’m not being facetious. If there is one thing this site is good for, it is taking the temperature of the Democratic party, and while things were warm and fuzzy for Avenatti when he was Stormy Daniels’ champion and crusader for the #MeToo movement, they have decidedly chilled in the past few months.
Beto O’Rourke said recently that “Avenatti does not speak for us,” and that seems to be consensus.
Avenatti said he continues to represent Daniels. Hopefully he can continue to do some of the good legal work that he did with Daniels’ NDA, and Karen McDougals’, which brought him to national attention in the first place.
