On Sunday, Joe Biden released a statement that he would not be running for president.
His statement said that he was going to focus on his presidency for the remaining months and turn the nomination over “for the good of the country.”
I don’t believe that to be the case.
What Did Kamal Do?
Conservative pundit Jack Posobiec claims that his sources had information on the pressure being applied to Biden’s campaign by Harris’ surrogates.
He reported, “Massive drama right now in WH, Kamala advisors straight up telling Biden advisors it’s time to pass the buck, exact words used, per WH official.
“This is the first direct, open confrontation at the senior level.”
You want my opinion?
Publicly, Harris was supporting Joe Biden, and she had no choice but to do that.
If Harris came out against Joe, it would have been the end of her career, and she knows it.
So, her surrogates went after Biden, and I believe they told him that unless he stepped down and endorsed Harris, she would use the 25th against him to force him out of the White House.
However, if Joe did bow out, they would allow him to stay in and fulfill his term without embarrassing him, keeping this little spat between him and Harris behind the scenes.
Here is the problem, though…
That is not the way our country works. Voters elected Biden as their nominee, and this little stunt by Democrats not only circumvents the voters, it also gives the Democrats a big edge.
They have all the polling now, so they know who they can pair up with Harris to have the best chance of beating Trump. That is likely PA Governor Shapiro, who will help Harris flip PA for sure, and likely Michigan, giving her two very key battleground states that Trump has been winning to this point.
If she wins those two states, she may only need one or two more battleground states to beat Trump, something that Biden was never going to be able to do.
When you talk about rigging an election, this is the very definition of it.
