According to sources speaking to The Post, there were alleged threats made by high-ranking officials in the Democratic Party towards President Biden, urging him to step down from his position or face forced removal. This planned ‘palace coup’ had been in the works for some time, with pressure mounting on Biden not to seek re-election.
Reports suggest that Biden faced increasing anger, paranoia, and frustration as party leaders pushed for his withdrawal. A key element of the plan involved a televised debate with Republican candidate Donald Trump in Atlanta, where Biden appeared confused and hesitant, leading to a shift in public opinion against him.
The intention behind the debate, as per sources, was to convince Democrats that Biden was not fit to run for president.
Despite initial resistance, Biden finally relented when party officials threatened to use the 25th Amendment to declare him unfit for office, prompting his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate. However, sources indicate that support may also be directed towards Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly at the upcoming Democratic National Convention.
While some prominent figures, like former President Barack Obama, have not yet endorsed Harris as Biden’s successor, the party is gearing up for a pivotal moment at the convention in August, just months before Election Day.
As the situation unfolds, Obama has remarked on the uncertain path ahead, signaling the challenges faced by the party in the coming days.
Following the debate, Hunter Biden took a more active role in his father’s activities, attending all meetings and expressing concern over the perceived plot against Joe Biden. It was noted that certain officials were working against the president’s interests.
Amidst the decision to step down, even Biden’s own staff were caught off guard by the development, culminating in a surprising announcement shared on Biden’s X account. The use of his private letterhead and electronic signature added to the shock within his inner circle.
Insiders in the Democratic Party had observed Biden’s decline over the past couple of years, with concerns raised about his cognitive abilities. Recollections of interactions with him reflected a disconnected and repetitive demeanor, hinting at underlying challenges.
