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.
His replacement will be coronated at the Dem convention if he fails to withdraw prior to this Summer.
“Jill Biden will not give in”
Agreed
She’s been lusting for FLOTUS for decades.
Gonna hafta beat it out of her, dragged out kicking and screaming.
But my money’s on Big Mike.
They’ll do it at the Convention.
And Dr Jill will be shocked to shiiite, on camera, and in tears when they announce it. Gonna make for one of this eras top memes.
Shillary will be brutally put back in her place.
Newsom is not even in the picture.
Kamel Toe’s only door prize will be a goobermint pension.
It won’t be pretty.
Pass the popcorn!
I think she is the one who wants out. She’s tired of leading him around like a stray calf...as if no one notices. He’s an embarrassment to her.
He is so far gone he is incapable of answering media questions. Just now he shuffled out of the "statement" he gave trying to read the teleprompter as to why the horrible border bill and Ukraine/Israel funding bill should pass. Literally incapable of answering questions on something supposedly important to him. So instead, he says the border crisis is because of Trump. Does his handlers believe people are that stupid?
The cabal that actually runs the Biden Presidency have power and influence due to Biden being the frontman. The same cabal has power within the conspiracy commonly known as the Democrat Party.
Those who seek to replace Biden must either overpower or placate the puppetmasters and a phalanx of Biden appointees and bureaucrats. This group will want to keep the imbecile in place, unless they are assured the replacement will retain them and give them the free rein to which they are accustomed.
“Outsiders” like Newsome or Whitmer would bring in their own mafia. Michelle Obama might fit the bill perfectly from the cabal’s perspective. But, having no qualifications herself, she would have to run as Obama’s fourth term, emphasizing continuity with the crap and buck idiots many voters are fed up with. Trump would need to convince the public that she was a Biden II/Dem insider or worse. MO has a temper, and no poker face at all. She could probably be triggered unto showing her nasty side, and complete lack to presidential self-control. I think she would self-destruct under pressure. Dem insiders likely know this. It’s a real shame they have such a dilemma.
It’s been obvious that Newsom is the nominee for more than a year.
I’ve said all along Biden will not be the nominee, he is almost on the verge of retardation but then again so is most of the dimwit voters
Gingrich: Completely in line with my prognostications of several months here at FR.
Dems PLOT!
If not Michelle, the Dims will pull a rabbit out of a hat by nominating a black unknown who can read a teleprompter.
The DNC's worst case scenario is if Joe dies suddenly or becomes so incoherent they can't run him. If he dies, they are stuck with Kamala as the incumbent President and therefore as their nominee. If he becomes totally incoherent they can use the 25th amendment but that just makes Kamala Acting President, not actually the President, but then they still have a problem of how to deny her the nomination.
1974 DNC convention loosed Jimmah Cahtuh as the dark horse candidate.
“ I underestimated the level of elder abuse tolerated to keep Joe Biden the foculpoint of all government induced ills.”
Yes.
And how bad Harris would be.
76....................
Michelle is far too lazy to do anything but F’ off.
Gavin Newsom is only 56 years old. He may want to wait until the Trump phenomena has run its course (2028).
“But, having no qualifications herself...”
That can be said for all democrats.
Yep, Jill will not give up her perks. Being President in the background.
She reads the daily security briefings. She is the actual POTUS.
I would not be surprised if the Democrats nominated her to replace the potato.................................
Mon Dieu!…
She has only one of the two required attributes. She's dumb as a rock so manipulating her like demented Joe is no problem. The problem is she is unelectable.
Don't bet the rent money on that................
