As far as a coup attempt to remove Biden is concerned that’s ridiculous. Not being chosen as his party’s nominee does not in any way remove him from office. Barring any other action he would still serve the remainder of the term he was elected to serve. It simply means he cannot run as the Democratic nominee in the upcoming election. He could however run as an Independent or as the nominee of a different party as long as he qualified himself for ballots in the individual states.

Kamala Nomination Odds Soar After Reports Biden To Drop Out This Weekend



Update (1130ET): It appears the situation is escalating fast in Democratic Party central this morning.

Axios reports that President Biden may decide to drop out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend, according to several top Democrats who believe the rising pressure will persuade the incumbent.

The 81-year-old president, now self-isolating with COVID, remains publicly dug in.

But privately he's resigned to mounting pressure, bad polls, and untenable scrutiny making it impossible to continue his campaign, the Democrats tell us.

Others are reporting similar narratives and timelines building...

🚨 BOMBSHELL from @mikeallen + @JimVandeHei: Top Dems now believe Biden will exit

"Top Biden aides - including ones who initially urged him to fight on after the debate - are saying it's now when, not if, Biden announces he's not running."https://t.co/R45PhVPO5Q
— Jake Wilkins (@JakeWilkns) July 18, 2024

Furthermore, WaPo reports that he who pulls the real strings has weighed in...

“Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden’s path to victory has greatly diminished and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on his thinking.”

The news prompted a surge in the odds of VP Kamala Harris getting the Democratic Party nomination (and collapse in Biden's odds)...

Source: Bloomberg

This comes after reports of yet more gaffes by the aging Biden as he read aloud a note passed to him by a staffer during a virtual call with Democratic caucuses:

A staffer gave the 81-year-old president a note card with tips as he attempted to persuade members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus on Saturday that he was fit to serve and able to defeat former President Donald Trump on Election Day, the New York Times reported.

“Stay positive, you are sounding defensive,” Biden said on the call, seemingly reading directly from his staffer’s short missive.

You can't make this up anymore.

Meanwhile, Democrats have a new slogan...

As we detailed earlier, calls for enfeebled President Biden to call off his re-election bid are not only growing more numerous, but also more powerful, as three top Democratic officials -- Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries -- have all reportedly told the president that his campaign is worse than hopeless.

Suggesting a coordinated effort, news about three separate conversations that happened in the last week all dropped on Wednesday. The gap between the discussions and the reports is likely attributable to a desire to first give Biden a chance to bail out gracefully race before more pressure was added using leaks to the media.

Pelosi was said to have shared specific polling results indicating Biden has no path to victory, and that his continued presence atop the 2024 ticket could doom the Democratic Party's chances of re-taking control of the House. According to CNN's sources, Biden insisted he can win, saying he's seen polls that give him hope that it's a closer race than other say. Trying to bolster her case, Pelosi asked longtime Biden advisor Mike Donilon join the call to review the numbers.

According to a Thursday report in Axios, top Democrats think Biden may decide to drop out of the presidential race as soon as this weekend.

The seeming next step for Pelosi -- and the others -- would be a public statement urging Biden to quit. A Pelosi ally told Politico that such a statement is a possibility, saying, “The speaker does not want to call on him to resign, but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens."

News of Pelosi's conversation came soon after word that Schumer had his own pointed conversation with Biden on Saturday. In a personal visit to Biden's home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Schumer was said to have bluntly told Biden that quitting the race would be best for America and the Democratic Party.

Like Pelosi, Schumer attempted to use polling to paint a picture for the defiant 81-year-old. While many national polls show a relatively narrow margin, what counts is the seven battleground states -- and Trump is ahead in all of them. Even CNN's John King recently showed why Trump could be on track for a landslide win. While details are thinner, ABC News reports that Jeffries also voiced the same concerns directly to Biden, politely nudging him to quit.

All of this came on what was already a very rough day for Biden. After looking especially weak speaking from podiums on the campaign trail, the White House announced that Biden had tested positive for Covid-19 and would return to Delaware to isolate while still performing his presidential duties. Notably, as he boarded and exited Air Force One, he was maskless -- something that contravenes a leftist core belief.

More notable than his bare face was his exceedingly frail appearance:

Forget a second term -- will Biden even finish his first?

So, the running joke during the primary that a vote for Biden was really a vote for Kamala...was in fact the truth. All this talk of replacing the entire ticket is out the window as the coffers and the delegates are Biden's. He was always the hot mess everyone wants to see now even when he was Vice President. Couldn't say "no" and had to run for re-election prolly because Dr.Jill likes the attention and power.

The Democrats have already held their primary and Biden is their defacto "winner" awaiting to be nominated by their delegates at their convention in Chicago. What the top democrats are doing is forcing him to leave office. What word do YOU want to call that? Americans have already voted for him.

Let’s see if you can follow along.

1) The purpose of the primaries is to award delegates to a particular candidate.

2) Tose delegates awarded then gather at the party’s convention and cast their vote in account the party’s by-laws, not any state or federal statute.

3) Since the party controls the convention as a body it may or may not change rules based on its by-laws.

4) Currently the by-laws of the DNC require committed delegates to vote for the candidate that won said delegates in the individual state primaries.

5)If the party by-laws provide a mechanism to change that requirement it’s within the realm of possibility that this can happen.

Like I said earlier you’re an idiot.

Biden was elected as the 46th President to a single four year term. That term expires on January 20, 2025 when the 47th President will be sworn into office. Unless you are privy to some secret squirrel information that suggests someone is going to force him to step down before that date then it’s safe to say your assumption that he is being forced out of office is stupid.

On the other hand he is not entitled to a second term. To become the 47th President he must win the election which is used to select that person. So one can’t be forced out of an office he hasn’t been elected to hold.

According to the information published by the US Government the primaries aren’t used to select a candidate. They are simply used to award delegates that go to a convention. Once at that convention those delegates vote for a nominee. If Biden does not win a majority of delegate votes at the convention then he does not become the Democratic nominee. That in no way in of itself prevents him from running for the 47th Presidency. He just can’t do it as the Democratic nominee.

Granted at the moment it would seem Biden would be the Democratic nominee since he has more than enough “committed” delegates to win the Democratic nomination. However, as a Democrat Biden is bound by his party rules. If a mechanism exists to release those committed delegates to vote for another candidate then that’s the way the ball bounces. Live by the rules, die by the rules.

But, I do understand you’re unable to comprehend this mildly complicated situation. It’s no surprise since you’re completely unable to think for yourself and apparently none of your go to websites published an article you can cut and paste.

I'm well aware of how the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution and the conventions operate. I've been one sitting in the shadows stating that nobody else is going to supercede Kameltoes on the DNC ticket. Nobody can get access to the delegates or the cash his campaign has raised BUT her through Buydumb. That was NEVER an issue. You said it wasn't a "coup"! I already know you have issues with words and their definitions. Might want to crack a dictionary for what Coup and Insurrection mean. BOTH are operable words to describe what's going on behind the DNC curtain right now regardless of what you think and feel. What you want to completely ignore is what I posted in Post #1903. That's not me saying any of it, it's Pelosi (former Speaker of the House) and former President Obama doing it! I guess you want to call them idiots too? Supposedly Kameltoes is vetting running mates as well. Now, is that with or without Pedo Joe's "blessing"?

Keep on bashing websites I post from too. Those sites that accurately (with links! However, you cannot go to the links and see for yourself!) report what the Lame Street Media presstitutes care to share with low informed people.

Defiant Biden Handlers Just Threw Obama, Schumer, and Pelosi Under the Bus and Then Backed Over Them



After Joe Biden allegedly contracted COVID and left Las Vegas for his Delaware beach house on Wednesday, much speculation suggested he was preparing to leave the race. Even the betting markets shifted, showing the probability of Biden dropping out at an all-time high.

That was exacerbated by an interview where the president said he would drop out if a medical issue arose. Still, I offered some words of caution on that front.

SEE: Joe Biden Says He'd Drop Out If Doctors Told Him to, Sets Up a 'Dignified' Exit (Updated)

With all that said, my money is still, for the moment at least, on Biden staying in the race. There's now a path for me to be wrong, but I won't believe Jill Biden will concede the White House until it happens. There is also a long list of handlers who derive their living from Biden who aren't going to want to go quietly. Further, he can't simply leave the presidential race. He'd have to resign the presidency as well. After all, how can you be too senile to run for president but not too senile to be president?

The machinations that would need to happen going forward are almost unfathomable.

Perhaps I was on to something because Biden's handlers responded with a vengeance on Thursday. As RedState reported, a senior administration official rebutted claims that the president was close to bowing out, stating that he could start campaigning again as soon as next week.

White House coffee boy Andrew Bates also lashed out publicly in no uncertain terms.

Now, Biden's handlers are getting even more vicious. A report from NBC News quotes a "source close to Biden" throwing Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi under the bus before backing up over them. They even go so far as to say the three named above were responsible for Donald Trump being elected in 2016 because they pushed Hillary Clinton to the forefront.

Yikes.

Biden's team is throwing Pelosi, Schumer and even Obama under the bus.

If Biden isn't leaving the race after these 3 have spoken t him, I have a hard time believing he's going to leave the race at all.

“Can we all just remember for a minute that these same people who are trying to push Joe Biden out are the same people who literally gave us all Donald Trump? In 2015, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer pushed Biden aside in favor of Hillary; they were wrong then and they are wrong now,” the source told NBC News.

The source pointed to polling in the 2016 election that showed Hillary Clinton leading by as much as nine points.

“How did all this work out for everyone in 2016? Perhaps we should learn a few lessons from 2016; one of them is polls are BS, just ask Sec. Clinton. And two, maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden is more in touch with actual Americans than Obama-Pelosi-Schumer?” the source added.

That doesn't sound like Biden is about to drop out of the race, does it? As I've said before, there's more going on behind the scenes than just what the president wants. Jill Biden is wildly ambitious and shows no sign of wanting to give up the life of luxury her husband's position provides. There's also a laundry list of hangers-on both working for Biden's campaign and within the administration itself who do not want to lose their gravy train. If the president leaves the race, they will be largely sidelined, and they know.

Then there's Biden himself. He's a deeply egotistical man who will not want to go down in history as someone who gave up against Trump. Never mind that he'll almost assuredly be blamed if he does drop out and then Kamala Harris goes on to lose. There's no easy path out of the race for Biden that allows him to save face.

With that said, attacking the biggest names in the Democratic Party seems less than helpful. If Biden's handlers burn the party to the ground in their attempt to keep their jobs, then a loss is all but certain come November anyway. So what's being gained?

This entire thing is an unbelievable cluster. Admittedly, I'm not that old, but I've never seen anything like this in all my time following politics, and certainly not in my time commenting on politics. There's no good answer here for Democrats, though that's a reality no one seems keen to accept at this moment.

Biden Will Announce His Withdrawal from Democrat Nomination Sunday – Open DNC Convention Will Select Consensus Candidate



Mark Halperin is pretty dialed in to the deep DNC network, particularly close to the core DNC apparatus. Halperin is saying the plan for Joe Biden to announce his withdrawal from the Democrat nomination is now underway. Biden will announce this weekend, likely Sunday. WATCH: https://youtu.be/l-E6TyU2BXY?si=V34sF4Cq0tJRM5xW

According to Halperin:

• Joe Biden plans to announce withdrawal from nomination process as early as this weekend, Sunday most likely.

• Biden advisor Jon Meacham polishing up remark for delivery to the nation.

• Joe Biden with NOT resign the presidency and will finish the remainder of his term.

• Interestingly, Joe Biden will NOT endorse VP Kamala Harris. Biden will let the convention decide.

• There will be an open convention with Kamala Harris and about 3 others on the first ballot.

• The infamous super delegates, deep DNC insiders, will not be allowed to vote on 1st ballot. This point is moot because no one is going to win on the first ballot.

• Kamala Harris is planning her convention strategy around a full ticket proposal. Harris is vetting at least four possible running mates, including Andy Beshear and possibly Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

If you understand the nature of Democrat politics, specifically if you have understood this was a long-ago-decided replacement strategy, then you will see how the Pelosi group positioned Gavin Newsom for this series of events.

The DNC controls the mechanisms. The first-round ballot will include too many names for any single candidate to emerge the victor. The super delegates, the ones who really are the party power brokers, will then make their decisions.

Gavin Newsom has been playing the loyal Democrat supporter of Biden, specifically because he knew this moment was coming. Every move was gaming and pretending. It is more than likely that Newsom will exit as the consensus candidate in second, perhaps third round.

It was always going to happen this way.

Biden campaign insists he’s ‘in this race’ despite mounting Democrat calls to drop out
President Biden is reportedly "furious" as Democratic officials have ramped up calls for him to withdraw from the 2024 election. Party donors have threatened to withhold money and elected officials are openly calling on the president to step aside. Biden is self-isolating in Rehoboth, Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19.
