Senior Democratic operatives allegedly threatened President Joe Biden with removal from office unless he stepped down, according to sources. The orchestrated effort to push Biden out of the race has been unfolding for weeks, with Biden resisting each step.
For weeks, a coordinated “palace coup” aimed at preventing President Joe Biden from seeking re-election has been underway, according to sources close to the Biden family. Despite intense pressure, Biden resisted. An integral part of this plan was his participation in a disastrous live TV debate with Donald Trump, where Biden’s confused and faltering performance was used to persuade Democrats of his unsuitability for re-election.
Set up a debate with Trump
As part of the strategy, Biden participated in a debate with Donald Trump, during which his performance was perceived as weak. “That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” a source stated.
As pressure mounted for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the race, he remained steadfast in his intent to continue. However, party leaders escalated the situation by threatening to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and cabinet members to declare the president unfit for office and force his resignation, according to a source.
Despite President Biden’s immediate endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate, sources reveal that Democratic delegates are being strongly urged to support Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Notable figures, including former President Barack Obama, have yet to endorse Harris, with Obama stating, “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead.”
Following the debate with Trump, Hunter Biden became more involved in his father’s daily affairs, suspecting a setup against him. Sources noted Biden’s staff was unaware of his decision to withdraw from the race until shortly before the announcement.
The letter posted on Biden’s X account shocked many, with Jill Biden’s minimal response—a heart emoji—adding to the surprise.
Long-standing concerns
The insider noted that party members have been aware of Biden’s decline for years. The source recounted a recent encounter with Biden, describing him as repeating slogans and appearing disconnected.
