President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with his pals, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over what many are calling a coup d’état within the Democratic Party’s nomination process.
Several people close to Biden told the New York Times on Friday that the embattled president sees Pelosi as “the main instigator” and Obama as “the puppet master behind the scenes” in efforts to remove him from the 2024 race.
Biden’s anger seems to be triggered by a plethora of leaks and stories from anonymous sources suggesting he has considered passing the torch to a successor, likely Kamala Harris, his equally unpopular vice president.
According to the Washington Post, 37 lawmakers have called on Biden to exit the ticket. One of those lawmakers is Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a close Pelosi ally who many believe got Pelosi’s approval before backstabbing Biden.
Despite these demands, Biden has pledged to remain in the race ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
“I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America,” Biden wrote following President Donald Trump’s monumental Republican National Convention.
While Obama has not publicly called on Biden to step down, he has also not defended him since the “bloodbath” presidential debate, perhaps aware of his former vice president’s cognitive decline.
As reported by the Times, a source close to Obama admitted that the former president was “startled and shaken by how much Mr. Biden had aged and seemed disoriented” at a multi-million-dollar fundraiser. Viral video showed Biden frozen while cheering the crowd at the fundraiser, prompting Obama to direct Biden to the exit.
While the Times does not specify who its sources were, former Obama aides Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer criticized the White House for scolding them over comments made on Pod Save America—a podcast launched by former “Obama bros.”
Can’t say these Dems aren’t patriots. They’ve tried to imprison and off their political opponent and are now trying to overthrow their own democratic primary process to save Democracy!
The media is their Ouroborus chorus.
The question is whether Joe will be allowed to finish his term or forced to resign. It’s a matter of process. He’s done, regardless.
Here comes Hillary. That plastic surgery is going to pay off.

She would need major body sculpting, too ... not sure they could fit her through a Scooby van door these days.
The curtain, tablecloth & upholstery fabric designers are happy - for sure Hildabeast will need some new muumuus if she’s going out campaigning.
Rent Control for Landlords with over 50 properties was a shot across the bow of Obama’s people. Joe stirred the ant’s nest after Morning Joe accused Obama.
“Why do I feel like I’m watching a Mexican soap opera?”
That’s an insult to Mexican soap operas. At least with them you can halfway understand what they’re saying... unlike when Dementia Joe is mumbling. Plus, the plot is usually more believable in Mexican soap operas than the ssdd Democrat plots.
As I said at the time Halperin’s reporting came out, “cui bono”? Who benefits?
He does if he gets a scoop but I think the real answer is that he was played, fed a story that the DNC and it’s allied wanted people to be believe and who thought having him break it would add credibility.
One factor they didn’t count on is Joe being covid-isolated with only family and trusted staff present and reinforcing his stubborness. And being a constant reminder of who is at risk (including Doctor Jill) if the Biden Crime Family is truly investigated.
Failure to control the border..
They could just make something up like they did to Trump.
Biden had a dog. Even the dog didn’t like him
Section 4.
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
