Report Gives Details On Biden Decision
Today, we’re diving into a shocking new report from veteran journalist Seymour Hersh, which suggests a dramatic plot within the Democratic Party to push President Joe Biden out of the 2024 presidential race. According to Hersh, former President Barack Obama, along with top Democratic leaders, considered invoking the 25th Amendment to force Biden to step down. Let’s explore the details of this intriguing political drama.
Hersh’s report claims that internal efforts to replace Biden gained momentum after his poor performance in the June 27 debate. Sources say Obama played a crucial role in this plot to remove his former vice president, aiming to have him out by July 20.
This speculation was fueled when Biden abruptly canceled a campaign event in Las Vegas last week, sparking rumors that Obama might call Biden directly to demand he step aside.
An anonymous White House official told Hersh that “the big three” – former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries – were also heavily involved.
On a pivotal Sunday morning, with Pelosi and Schumer’s approval, Obama reportedly called Biden after breakfast and laid out the plan: Vice President Kamala Harris had agreed to invoke the 25th Amendment, which would deem Biden unfit to continue his duties and place Harris in the presidential role.
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president, along with other officials, to declare the president unable to perform their duties. Harris’s agreement to this plan indicates she would have had significant backing to run for the presidency in the November election. Obama, however, reportedly made it clear that he would not immediately endorse her.
According to Hersh, Obama later gave his endorsement to Harris, with both Barack and Michelle Obama expressing their support via a phone call on Friday. The anonymous official stated that Obama emerged as the key figure throughout these negotiations, aiming to control the direction of the Democratic Party and influence the next presidential election.
Previously, the New York Post reported that Obama was initially hesitant to support Harris and preferred a “mini primary” at the Democratic National Convention. However, sources close to the Biden family suggested that Biden decided to back Harris to spite Obama and the “big three,” disrupting their plans for the convention.
If Hersh’s report holds true, it paints a picture of a deeply divided Democratic Party, with significant figures conspiring to replace the sitting president. It also raises serious questions about Biden’s capacity to govern, hinting at potential cognitive decline as a factor in these discussions.
