Based on a new report, Joe Biden was intentionally set up to fail in his debate with Trump because top Democrat operatives were threatening to use the 25th amendment against Joe if he didn’t drop out of the race.
The debate was used to convince Democrats that Biden couldn’t win the presidential race, and here we are today with Biden having finally dropped out.
Here’s the report from the New York Post:
Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post.
The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.
The insider also made clear the anger, paranoia and frustration Biden displayed as the party elite circled around him and piled on the pressure.
Part of the “elaborate” strategy to remove Biden from the race – as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday – was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.
“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” the source said Monday.
As calls for him to bow out mounted, Biden insisted he would continue, but party bigwigs threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution.
The amendment allows for the vice president and members of the cabinet to declare he is unfit to serve and force him to step down, the source added.
Although Biden immediately endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for president, the source said Democratic delegates will be strongly encouraged to instead back Arizona senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly for president at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August.
The only people who can use the 25th amendment is the VP and Biden’s cabinet. It would seem to met that these top operatives who threatened to force Joe out of the presidency were very well connected to his cabinet and his VP, if not among them.
I do find it interesting that Mark Kelly would be their pick for president. I guess they don’t believe in Kamala either.
The post also points out that the reason Hunter began attending all of Biden’s meetings was because he realized his dad was being set up and that these officials were against his father.
