President Obama is reportedly close to Biden and speaks to him often. He would know if Biden was in decline to the point where he couldn't win. Why would President Obama be at a fundraiser a few weeks ago if this were the case? And now suddenly trying to take him down? No. I don't believe it. Clooney wouldn't have regular contact with Biden to that extent and may have genuinely been caught of guard about his mental decline thus the op-ed afterwards. |
Biden Aides Believe Obama Is Plotting Joe’s Ouster After Clooney Op-Ed The Biden campaign believes that former President Barack Obama is working behind the scenes to oust President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said. “Joe Biden is deeply resentful of his treatment. Not only of the Obama staff but also the way he was pushed aside for Hillary Clinton... He’s always felt like an outsider, always felt like people look down upon him,” Scarborough said of Biden during Thursday morning’s episode of Morning Joe. The comments come after Politico reported that actor George Clooney called Obama shortly before his bombshell op-ed in The New York Times calling on President Joe Biden to step aside was published. The former president notably did not push back against Clooney’s call for his former vice president to drop out of the 2024 race against Donald Trump, Politico reported. https://www.thedailybeast.com/obama-didnt-stop-george-clooneys-call-for-biden-to-quit |
You can’t orchestrate this without a viable candidate to replace him with. Who? |
Shockingly (lol) Rose Montoya has been accused of sexual assault. |
Hillary/ Michelle |
Only da best in Biden's WH... |
The Obamas must be tired of people not listening to them. Michelle has said repeatedly that she is not interested. Obama told us not to underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up. |
Hillary would jump in a nano-second and Michelle would not be far "to save the country." Watch. |
Of course, Hillary would! So, you think Michelle is lying? I’m going to take her at her world. |
Politicians never lie, it's simply that circumstances evolve. |
If things are so dire with his health, everyone would be calling on him to step down right now, TODAY. So this reads to me like it’s not an actual acute new health issue but that his regular old age things have made him appear unelectable. I don’t think he’s going to be able to stop the noise at this point, so what I think he should do is resign effective immediately and let Kamala run as the incumbent. Lots of Biden’s staunchest supporters voted for him understanding that Harris could become President at any moment. An open primary at the convention would come off as “insiders” deciding rather than voters. This is the only way I see forward at this point. Anything else is going to depress the base and still not get enough unicorn swing voters to matter, especially not down ballot.

I agree that it'd be the only, and the best, way, in normal circumstances, such as having a VP that people actually respect or at least like. With Harris sadly it's neither, and I doubt she could fix in 4 months what she has not done in 3 years and a half. |
It would have to be Harris. Problem is the WH hid her for the past 3.5 years and now people don’t know much about her compared to Biden as Obama’s VP who was a lot more visible. Even Dick Cheney was more visible. |
Who is she unpopular with? It’s not the base, certainly not younger voters or black voters. Swing voters?Probably, but according to polls, they’ve already been lost and no candidate other than Biden has ever polled strongly, even against Trump. Mark Warner and whoever else think it should be them did not win the primary in 2020 and didn’t get picked as Veep. Neither did anyone else. They need to sit down and shut up. If they try to oust Biden and install their white male candidate of their choice it will be a blood bath all the way down ballot. And if they can’t get behind a black female or vote for her come Election Day, when the other choice is Donald Trump and Project 2025, then we’ll all know that the racist sexist call is coming from inside the house. |
