Democrats Force Biden Out of 2024 Presidential Race and Work to Rig the Nomination for Kamala Harris

Biden's top advisors told him he could not defeat Trump causing him to decide to bow out of the race last night following mounting pressure from Obama and other senior Democrat leaders

July 22nd Update—The New York Post reports top Democrats threatened to invoke the 25^th amendment to remove Biden from office if he didn’t drop out of the presidential race. The June 27^th debate was a major part of the Democrat strategy to convince Democrat leaders he couldn’t continue his campaign. It felt like Biden was being set up to fail because I posted during the debate that it seemed like Biden had not been given his meds prior to the debate to sabotage his performance. The Biden family became very paranoid in recent weeks as former Democrat allies continued to knife him in the back with Hunter Biden coming in to the White House to try to urge him to fight in the belief he was being set up.

The decision for Biden to drop out was reportedly made on July 16^th after two of his top advisors shared internal polling, that were likely falsified to get him to drop out, that showed “he had no path to victory” but his advisors and campaign officials were not informed until the last minute. This was indeed a palace coup. One Democrat source says that delegates will be encouraged to vote for Sen. Mark Kelly for President thus setting him up to be selected as Kamala’s running mate as the second-place finisher which is interesting as I have been predicting Kamala Harris would select him to serve as her vice-presidential running mate since July 18^th. It will be interesting to see if my prediction of a Harris-Kelly Democrat presidential ticket will end up panning out. Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) is the second most likely VP pick as he is from a must-win state for the Democrats. In any case, her VP pick will likely be announced by the end of next week.

The last three and a half weeks since the debate has been a devastating news cycle for President Joe Biden and a tremendously positive news cycle for former President Donald Trump. Following Biden’s disastrous debate performance on June 27th, I had been predicting that Biden would be forced out of the presidential race given Democrat leaders ability to shame him into dropping out while contributions from top Democrat Party donors continued to be withheld until he did. Accordingly, I was not surprised that Biden finally accepted reality and announced he would not be a candidate earlier today. His brother Frank revealed that the reason that Biden dropped out of the race was "due to concerns about his deteriorating health" despite incessant denials to the contrary by the White House and the Biden presidential campaign.

Senior Democrats including former President Barack Obama, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have been working non-stop behind the scenes to pressure President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. Democrat members of Congress expressed concerns that if Biden remained at the top of the ticket, then they would lose the White House and both Houses of Congress. The debate was followed by a press conference held on July 11th, in which Biden referred to Kamala Harris as Vice President Trump on the same day that he referred to President Vladimir Putin as the determined and courageous President of Ukraine while attempting to introduce President Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit. The press conference was meant to reassure his wavering allies but instead ended up doing the exact opposite.

Former President Donald Trump’s reacted to the failed July 13^th assassination attempt by a deranged 20-year-old leftwing shooter who had three encrypted foreign bank accounts and likely was assisted by the Deep State with an inspiring call for national unity instead of lashing out at the galling security failures of the Biden administration in failing to ensure his safety. His response to the attempt on his life caused even Trump skeptics like Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) to pivot from refusing to vote for either presidential nominee to endorsing Trump while pushing Elon Musk, who previously said he would not donate to either presidential candidate, to pledge to donate $45 million a month to Trump.

This assassination attempt was followed by a magnificent show of unity at the Republican National Convention which I attended as a delegate this past week that was highlighted by Trump’s selection of charismatic 39-year-old America First conservative Senator, JD Vance, as Trump’s running mate that only served to accelerate Democrat calls for him to end his presidential campaign. I had been predicting Trump would choose Vance over the past few weeks, so I was extremely pleased with his choice. I believe that the Trump-Vance presidential ticket is the most exciting of my lifetime. Now that Biden has announced he is not running for re-election, liberal media hosts are stating that Trump is too old to run for President, seems hypocritical given the fact that until the debate they were all claiming that Biden would not be too old to serve as President despite the fact he would be 86 years old at the end of his second term.

Immediately after the debate, I called for Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25^th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office as unable to execute the duties of the office of President. Even Uniparty House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is supported by far-left Democrats, called for here to do so. Since Biden announced he was ending his presidential campaign earlier today, Johnson and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance have called for Biden to resign given the reason he dropped out of the race is because he is mentally and physically incapable of continuing to serve as our President. However, there appears to be no realistic chance that Biden will resign unless senior Democrat leaders call for him to do so in order that Kamala Harris could run for re-election as an incumbent President, strengthening her chances of defeating Trump in the election. Most likely, senior Democrats made a deal with Biden to support him remaining President until the end of his term in exchange for him dropping out of the 2024 presidential race.  Accordingly, it seems unlikely they would support Republican calls for his resignation.

Biden resisted all the calls by senior Democrats to drop out of the race until this morning when he released a letter announcing he was ending his campaign. He then endorsed Kamala Harris for President shortly thereafter. Reports indicate Biden is feeling hurt, angry and betrayed from being forced out of the race by some of his closest political friends and allies in a major embarrassment to his presidential legacy. The Biden campaign has stated they are in the process of persuading top Democrat donors to issue large donations to Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign after they refused to donate to Biden.

President Biden’s announcement that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as the 2024 Democrat presidential nominee following his decision to drop out of the race

Ironically, Biden’s initial plan when he first ran for President was to serve only one-term as a transitional President and then endorse Kamala Harris for President in 2024. A short video released by the Biden administration shortly after the November 2022 election mentioned Kamala Harris over a dozen times leading many to speculate it could be a precursor to an announcement by President Biden that he was endorsing Harris to replace him. However, in early 2023, Biden had a change of heart and decided to run for re-election and senior Democrats were unable to persuade him not to so they ended up lining up to support him.

What I have been calling the Democrat “Great Replacement Plan” has been underway ever since, with internal primary discussions going on with Democrat leaders increasingly coalescing behind Vice President Kamala Harris as their pre-selected candidate to present to the Democrat National Convention delegates as their presumptive nominee. The White House is working together with Democrat party bosses to attempt to rig the nomination for Kamala and are discouraging other candidates from joining the race. Harris is in the process of racing to lock down Democrat support with some success. Both former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton issued statements endorsing Kamala Harris for President shortly after Biden issued his own endorsement of Harris and it was reported that the Biden campaign is working to persuade elected Democrat officials and top leftwing donors to endorse her as well with George Soros endorsing her campaign today. In a major coup for her fledgling campaign, Harris won the endorsement of potential presidential rivals Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI).

However, both President Barack Obama and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi are calling for an open convention to allow multiple presidential candidates to compete to replace Biden as the Democrat presidential nominee. They are calling for a mini-primary to be held on the day of the virtual Democratic National Convention which is planned to occur prior to August 8^th in which all the Democrat presidential candidates could address the delegates in advance of the in-person Democrat National Convention which is being held on August 19th-22nd. No Democrat has declared they would challenge Kamala Harris for the nomination as yet and its possible that no big-name Democrats will given the impressive slate of endorsements she has won thus far. Earlier this evening, MSNBC hosts warned that anyone who challenged Kamala for the nomination "would be committing political suicide."

If Harris wins the Democrat presidential nomination, I am predicting she will likely choose either Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) who is a retired US Navy Captain, Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) or Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) as her running mate as they are all safe picks from swing states that could help balance the ticket with a white male and help her win enough electoral votes to be elected President. Choosing Kelly might be especially effective in countering Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), who is a former US Marine Corps Non-Commissioned Officer.

However, the fact that Harris has a penchant for uttering “word salad” and saying things that don’t make sense, repeating the same word or phrase repeatedly in the same statement or laughing nervously whenever she doesn’t know the answer to a question mean that President Trump would likely win any presidential debate with her resoundingly. That, along with her abysmal 39% approval rating which is even lower than Biden’s is likely the reason why Obama and Pelosi are pushing for someone different. If Kamala Harris is the Democrat presidential nominee, she will be the only major party presidential nominee in history who never won a single caucus or primary given the fact that she dropped out before the Iowa caucuses in the 2020 presidential campaign.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ elementary school level response to a question about the war in Ukraine demonstrating her total lack of understanding of foreign policy

As I have written previously, the Democrats define democracy the same way that North Korea and other Communist countries have which is one-party rule. Accordingly, anything Trump or other Republican leaders do which threatens their authoritarian stranglehold on power is immediately portrayed as an attempt to destroy democracy even though they represent attempts to restore election integrity and restore America’s democratic traditions and the rule of law as part of our God-given constitutional republic. While Biden has claimed to be fighting a war against authoritarianism against Russia in Ukraine, he has been importing authoritarianism here at home.  The fact that Biden, who has been the most authoritarian President in modern history with his shameful, undemocratic and unconstitutional attempts to censor his critics and to imprison his leading presidential challenger, has been forced to end his 2024 presidential campaign while President Trump has withstood all Biden’s efforts to prosecute and imprison him is poetic justice.

While Biden has repeatedly claimed that democracy is on the ballot and that Trump would somehow destroy democracy, it has been Biden and the Democrats who have been waging war against America’s democratic election system first by rigging the Democrat primaries for Biden, trying to take Trump off the ballot and prosecuting and attempting to imprison Trump (which they still may do at his sentencing hearing on September 18th), thus robbing voters of the chance to vote for the candidate of their choice. Meanwhile, they are also attempting to dilute the votes of legal voters to make their votes not count by attempting to steal the election in multiple ways most notably by trying to register 10-16 million illegal immigrants to vote, who crossed our southern border since Biden became President.

A recent article revealed that a Biden oligarchy would determine the fate of his Presidency while another report suggested Hunter Biden was essentially serving as his father’s Acting Chief of Staff and gatekeeper to the President once again exposing the lie that Democrats support democracy. The fact that the decision to get Biden to drop out and handpick who should run to replace him is being made by the Democrat elite who are trying to rig the nomination, rather than allow the voters to decide serves to showcase Democrat hypocrisy. In so doing, Democrat party bosses invalidated the votes of 14.5 million Democrat primary voters who voted for Biden making a mockery of their so called commitment to democracy.

With Biden’s decision to step down as the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris is now the prohibitive favorite to win the Democrat presidential nomination even though the 4,700 elected and appointed Democrat Party national delegates are under no obligation to support Harris unless the rules are changed to require them to do so. If the Democrat National Convention is an open convention, as it likely will be, than its possible though unlikely that she could lose to a more charismatic top-tier candidate, should one declare against her though polls currently show she would fare better against Trump than they would.

It is also possible, though even more unlikely, that a dark horse candidate such as Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, who some recent polls would be more competitive against Trump, could enter the race to shake things up in an unpredictable way. Late breaking reports indicate that Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) is considering re-registering as a Democrat to run for President against Kamala Harris. If no other big names run against her, he likely will but his chances of succeeding are low because he is not far left enough for the Democrat base.

Likely voter polls show Kamala Harris trailing Trump by only three points in a head-to-head race while a recent Decision Desk poll shows her trailing Trump by six points when including all of the third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. However, only one of those polls were conducted near the end of the convention so it is likely that Trump’s lead will increase by two to three points in the coming weeks before the Democrat National Convention. Sadly, the Democrats have demonstrated the ability to steal the last two elections with impunity and so it is likely they will succeed in stealing the November election from Trump and the Republican Party once again no matter who they end up nominating to run against him.
