Forget the pundits. Ignore New York Times editorials and columnists. Tune out people popping off on X.
The only way President Biden steps aside, despite his debate debacle, is if the same small group of lifelong loyalists who enabled his run suddenly — and shockingly — decides it's time for him to call it quits. Why it matters: Dr. Jill Biden; his younger sister, Valerie Biden; and 85-year-old Ted Kaufman, the president's longtime friend and constant adviser — plus a small band of White House advisers — are the only Biden deciders.
This decades-long kitchen cabinet operates as an extended family, council of elders and governing oligarchy. These allies alone hold sway over decisions big and small in Biden's life and presidency.

Repeating this post because it bears repeating. Obama is the main player here and continues to successfully remain hidden. One of Obama’s greatest assets is he doesn’t have to get recognized or take credit for what he does. “No Drama Obama”.
Why is Biden still the 2024 Democrat nominee for President instead of Any Twosome Newsome?
Who is the architect of the radicalization of the Democrat Party? Barack Obama.
Who’s actually been running things at the White House for the last four years? Barack Obama.
Who’s radical anti-America agenda has the federal gov’t been following for the last four years to take America down? Barack Obama’s.
Unlike Any Twosome Newsome, Biden is Obama’s puppet. I don’t think the Dems want to lose Obama’s running the show at the White House.
As they say, a country gets the government it deserves. If there are enough stupid or careless voters, and enough people who ignore election fraud, ‘Dementia Joe’ has a good chance of being reelected/reselected...
If the DNC wants Biden gone, he’s gone. What he and Jill want is irrelevant. They probably don’t know just yet. Awaiting polling, ratings, focus groups, etc...
It's been 72 hours. So if he makes it until tomorrow, he survives and they're not going to switch horses even though they want to.
Obama is a true believer and will keep going with or without Gyorgy.
Obama has dedicated his life to taking down America.
IMO, only God can stop him.
It is not that simple. This reductive thinking is the mirror image of the leftist obsession with the Kochs - "Take down the Kochs and the whole right collapses."
Gyorgy is just the tip of a multi-generational progressive cabal that provides the fuel for the leftist agenda of the Democrat party. There are hundreds of other wealthy people like him ready to take his place.
If I were Kamala, I'd hire a food taster.

Between him and Sam Bankster Fraud, that’s something like 60% of their funding.
Gonna take a lotta Silicon Slum Sleazeballs to make up the difference.
Odd, isn’t it, the Hunter Biden is not included in the list of close confidantes?
After all, he and Joe work closely together.

Dems knowingly put a diminished Biden on a debate stage before 50 million viewers.
The burning question now is what drove this self-delusion and the betrayal of the public.
<><>Was it lobotomized groupthink?
<><>Craven careerism and self-dealing
<><>do they believe they can hold on to power?
<><>that they can run the country like some sort of collective-ventriloquist?
<><>was it narcissism by family Biden who long craved this kind of power
<><>a family that fights anything — even reality — that threatens its power?
In March of 2023, a column in The Wall Street Journal argued that Biden had no business running for a second term because, among other reasons, of his mental capacity.
Going back to September 2021, Biden didn’t seem to have a clue that his senior military advisors opposed his total withdrawal from Afghanistan (they supported a smaller contingent to stabilize the civilian government and prevent the return of Al Qaeda there).
The diminished Biden’s disastrous Afghan withdrawal is now the stuff of legends.
You are absolutely right.
He’s as purely evil as they come.
Right about now, Democrats are waking up to the fact that the botched debate was not just about candidate Biden, but about the obliteration of a cheap, carefully constructed Democrat facade.
<><>Biden is not “wise, strong and as alert as ever.”
<><>he’s not “all right.”
<><>his age-related infirmities are not a “wicked lie.”
<><>the economy is not “thriving.”
<><>the border is not “secure.”
<><>foreign policy and national defense are not “The Best They’ve Ever Been.”
<><>our beloved country is not “fine” under Joe Biden.
Even more frightening is to think that Biden actually makes any decisions
at all, much less on the fly, which is what a President is supposed to do.
Debate night Joe was befuddled, bewildered with nowhere to turn. We should be worried. All of our countries’ enemies saw that we have no functioning president. You can bet they now smell blood. Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un were all watching and are making plans accordingly.
The deep state, Democrats, and their media allies, have put our country closer to peril than ever before the stunt they pulled debate night, and Biden couldn’t stop it even if he had the intellectual acuity needed to accomplish it.
The Democrat cabal, under Joe Biden, has given us govt by secret committee; it doesn’t work in a republic.
I don't think so. We should not discount hundreds of other wealthy donors from coast to coast, and other groups like government employees, thousands of wealthy tech employees, and "educators".
Who will succeed is a lot harder to decide. If they want to go full crazy radical they might try something like a Whitmer/Jeffries ticket and run on DEI, abortion and reparations - electable? Probably not, but cheatable, maybe. More practical souls in Deep State are already preparing a reprise of The Resistance for four years after looking at Trump's numbers. I was thinking it was going to be an interesting summer but not quite this interesting.
I suspect either during, or shortly after, the DNC Convention, “Biden gets his wings”.
Either ‘by footloose or shock’.After that, its way too fuzzy.
