Van Jones says Democrats now planning on ‘how’ to replace Biden with Harris
NY Post ^ | July 4, 2024 | Michael Dorgan

Former Obama presidential adviser Van Jones says Democrats have moved on from discussions about potentially replacing President Biden at the top of the party’s 2024 ticket – to now actively plotting on how they can get him to step aside.

Jones says the party is now in “full-scale panic” behind the scenes as President Biden faces mounting pressure to abandon his re-election bid following his highly criticized debate performance against former President Trump last week.

“I understand people want to defend him and protect him and give him the space and the dignity to make his own choice,” Jones said on CNN Wednesday, referring to Biden.

“But there is a big conversation happening right now about how this happens – not whether.”

There has always been a tendency by Democrats to declare that their message bearer is the reason their message is not embraced.

But like in all things politics, Trump has changed all that.

The message is not taxes or spending or any of that. It is the Swamp, and there is no defense against that.

But beyond that, there is an overwhelming reality that has no possible defense.

They prosecuted Trump. The people are rejecting this procedure and replacing the message bearer can’t affect that. This is the source of black and hispanic support moves. The prosecution is not acceptable.

A new candidate cannot undo it. They are in deep trouble.

Well, if he were to croak they’d have to do something. 🤷

But unless Biden “dies” or is so incapacitated that he cannot function at ll, the bar for the 25th is very high.

“They are in deep trouble.”

Yes, and they did it ALL to themselves because of their sinful lust for power.

Just buy him off. Tell Jill they can keep “10 percent for the big guy” of that 240 million dollars campaign fund they have.

If he’s not fit to run for POTUS, he’s not fit to be the current POTUS, someone as far gone as he is mentally, should be nowhere near the Oval Office.

A functioning government would force him out as POTUS and retire him to one of his mansions to receive medical care in private so he can live out his remaining years in comfort.

The number of years he’s got left is short and getting shorter by the day.

They have to keep Kamala, or they loose the warchest of donations. That said, i believe they think keeping Slow Joe to finish this term is acceptable, it is not. Joe Biden is not up to the task of leadership in America.

A whole life devoted to getting the brass ring. Then sure knowledge that the media would tout even the most modest accomplishment and leave the disasters out of the histories books. But this debacle will be what is remembered. Suck it up Joe and Jill, you wicked bastards. You richly deserve what’s going to happen to you

That said, I still fervently hope he stays in!

This is really not a change. Some Democrats (a group with Van Jones)want him to be replaced, and Joe doesn’t want to go.

How to replace him with Harris? What?

A party that replaced the presidential election winner, an incumbent, with their appointee, can’t put the vice president in place stating obvious reasons?

She doesn’t want it Jill has no legal say
