Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich revealed for “the first time” why he believes Joe Biden might not be the Democratic nominee.
Appearing on Fox News “Hannity” to discuss Biden’s low polling, Gingrich was asked about his stance regarding Vice President Kamala Harris defending Biden.
Gingrich then explained why he thinks there will be a potential change for the Democratic nominee.
He highlighted numerous factors for his stance, including Biden’s “cognitive decline.”
Gingrich then noted there could be a possibility of a “genuine rebellion” in the Democrat Party due to the desire to ditch Biden.
“But I have to say, Sean, tonight really for the first time, I’m beginning to think maybe Biden will not be the nominee,” Gingrich said.
“I say that because of the rate of his cognitive decline, the number of recent examples, where he couldn’t remember what he was saying, or couldn’t remember who he was talking to … at some point there may be a genuine rebellion in the Democratic Party that says we can’t put this guy up this fall, because he’ll be helpless.”
“The NBC News report, the poll they did, was devastating. Almost a day later, CNN had a similar poll. It’s very clear that Biden right now is drifting into Jimmy Carter territory, where people just think he’s not competent,” Gingrich stated.
Hannity then pressed Gingrich on his thoughts regarding possible replacements for Biden, highlighting the possibility of Michelle Obama.
Gingrich responded by listing some options, emphasizing that the issue would be convincing Biden and Jill to step away.
He added that the new polls were a “real warning” to Democrats.
“Kamala Harris could make the argument she should be the replacement,” he said.
“In the left-wing of the Democratic Party that would be fine. The rest of the country would recoil in horror, and she would lose in a landslide,” Gingrich added.

“You know, you could have the governor of California, who you’ve had on to debate with Ron DeSantis. You could have the governor of Michigan or Pennsylvania,” Gingrich continued.
“It’s very hard to imagine Michelle Obama, but I have close friends, who are very smart, who are absolutely convinced that she’s going to be the replacement, because she trumps Kamala Harris in being a black woman on a national ticket,’ he said.
“I would not – until tonight, it just hit me. It’s all coming in, and it made me realize that we really have to think about the possibility that he may just collapse – the plausibility. That’s where the NBC poll and the follow-up CNN poll are a real warning to the Democrats.”
“Remember also, in the NBC poll, the Republicans are now ahead by a significant margin. Which party do you want to have run the Congress?” Gingrich questioned.
“If you’re a democratic operative, you’re looking at a catastrophe at least comparable to 1980 with Ronald Reagan. You begin to think, ‘Well, what do we do to avoid this?’ And the answer can’t involve Joe Biden.”
Similarly, last year, Gingrich warned Republicans the major threat looming in 2024 presidential is former First Lady Michelle Obama, who he believes is showing obvious signs she is about to announce her run for president.
“I hadn’t believed that until I saw her on stage with Bruce Springsteen, and I thought, you know, ‘this is not a person who’s hiding,'” the former House Speaker added.
A national NBC News poll last month states that Biden trailed Trump in various policy issues and physical health.
He used LOTS of weasel words- maybe, possibility, potentially.
Sheesh
I have always thought it would be Michelle.
I think they may actually try to sell her as “an outsider” because she is not a politician, and has often said she does not want to job. Since so much of the country hates Washington and hates politicians, she might seem appealing. Of course, any thinking person would understand that Barack would run the country if Michelle were elected, so you do nit get “an outside” and you do get “a politician”.
I also think she would love to stick it to the country. She might get elected and go on vacation for 4 years. “Screw you. I’m giving you nothing.” Barack could run everything right out in the open and I think the country would shrug it off. Because we don’t seem to be a republic focused on the Rule of Law, but we do seem to be an oligarchy that calls itself “Our Democracy”.
Tell us with 100% certainty who the Democrats will run in place of Biden. No weasel words allowed.
People who know Michelle say she hates being the center of attention.
We don’t know who will be the nominee.
The only two who are running against Biden for the nomination are Dean Phillips and Marianne Williams.
It will not be one of those two; the person will be hand selected to “save our precious democracy”.
I am still saying he isn’t going anywhere. Yes, I agree his condition is getting worse. I just talked to someone who’s been dead since 1996?
I thought they’d put Harris in about a year ago.
Gruesome Newsom
So, is there a milestone that the Dems have to replace Biden before he has more than half of the primary electors? It’s more complicated than that, I believe, but essentially, before the convention someone else can appear on the ballot and get enough votes to be the Dem nominee, without “un-conventional” means?
Jill Biden will not give in. Between her and his string pullers they will not willingly surrender.
You don’t know that. Good guess, though.
“...It’s very clear that Biden right now is drifting into Jimmy Carter territory, where people just think he’s not competent...”
Bidet’s WAY BEYOND Carter’s “incompetence point”, WAY, WAY, WAY PAST it.
OK, the theory is that Joe Biden is a mere puppet.
If that’s the case, why don’t the puppet masters remove him?
“I thought they’d put Harris in about a year ago.”
Pridicted end of Q1 2023.
I underestimated the level of elder abuse tolerated to keep Joe Biden the foculpoint of all government induced ills.
They will.
Who else could the puppet masters control as completely as someone who has dementia?
Given the way the Deep State operates with the cooperation of the Uniparty members, here’s a thought:
1) If Biden does drop out...or even just drop to the ground. Someone will have to ride in to save the day. Time is ticking down, and once the convention happens...then what? There isn’t a lot of time between the convention and the general election to hold a primary in every state to determine who will be the next Democrat candidate. Depending who that individual is, could present an interesting dynamic of what the Deep State is planning.
2) The house of cards we are sitting in has to collapse at some point. I just don’t see the alternative. What if the plan is put up a front opposing Trump, and then basically let him assume office to finally let the house of cards collapse. Thereby pinning it all on Trump, and claiming this is what happens when a non-politician, loose cannon is give control. It could also reinforce a narrative that the first term was just a fluke and that he just got lucky.
Given the current situation with the vast amount of debt people have taken on: new records for credit card debt, car loan delinquencies, an economy that for every normal person seems to be gasping for every breath, etc. Let’s not forget the number of invaders flowing across the border daily, of a multitude of nationalities. And some of those nationalities are not known to be U.S.-friendly.
There is already talk of the next pandemic and what to do then. I think Covid was the test run to see how people across the globe would react and adapt. They now have a better sense of where the resistance will come from and will need to have an even more extreme issue to get many more to line up willingly.
They have already proven that they can steal elections. And since they control both the arm that investigates and prosecutes, what’s really going to stop them from doing it again if they choose to do it again?
Someone who is just plain stupid, and there are many Dems who fit that bill.
