Democrats quietly hatched contingency plans to prepare for former President Joe Biden dying in office or removing himself from consideration to be the party’s 2024 nominee more than a year before Election Day, a new book claims.
While the White House, party officials and media members like MSNBC host Joe Scarborough publicly testified to Biden’s fitness for office, aides to Vice President Kamala Harris privately “strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office,” according to Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes’ upcoming book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” which was previewed by the Guardian.
Officials at the Democratic National Committee engaged in similar prep work as well, according to Allen and Parnes. “In hush-hush talks starting in 2023, [DNC] officials gamed out Biden-withdrawal scenarios, according to two people familiar with them,” the authors wrote.

Figured the “die in office” part was the case.
Those memes of Hillary, Kamala or Pelosi pushing a wheel chair bound Biden down a flight of stairs may have been more accurate of Dem plans than we thought.
Joe probably had a food taster hired to save himself.
And like a Ludlum novel he got a call “And don’t talk about it with Jill. She’s behind the plot.”
If it turned out as they planned for his withdrawal, they kinda blew that out their butts. Which pretty athletic considering they all have their heads up their arses .
Ha. Best meme today.
Bar none.
It’s the Deep State, so Biden is lucky they didn’t assassinat him to frame MAGA. He was actually more use to the Deep STate as an ‘autopen’ signature, otherwise, they would have killed him.
Biden’s been a prop for years....
They lost because the Lord, whom they do not know, was not in their corner, and Satan was unable to overcome the Lord’s in the battle.
Kinda’ sorry to disappoint them on this one.
I think they really wanted to limp into another term...get Kamala in there, without facing the voters....Joe just didn’t have the gas in the tank.
They were hoping for a “Carnahan” effect, and it might have worked if well timed and executed. I’m mildly surprised they didn’t make it happen.
Not only that but they put lil neon crumbs all throughout the white house so the demented idiot would be able to find his way around..but yeah, he’s sharp as a freakin tack right
This must have been the “transparency” and “democracy” the Democrats keep talking about—good thing it was not one of those “crazy right wing conspiracy theories”.
I always figured they installed Biden as the nominee and got all the others to drop out based on an understanding that he’d be their hatchet man and not run for a second term. I remember there was much angst when he came out and said he was going to run for re-election. The deal was broken.
Weren't you paying attention? He beat out all the other candidates. He was not doing well in the first few primaries, but once he hit South Carolina, he was winning easily. Black voters brought it home for him.
later
He didn't stand much of a chance until the COVID fiasco began just after the other Democrat contenders all dropped out for the Super Tuesday primaries in early March 2020.
The Obama cabal that was running the country from day one of Biden’s presidency, was content to have a sockpuppet who would sign or autopen anything and deliver scripted and increasingly drug addled speeches. However,some knew Biden’s dementia would eventually end his presidency. I believe it was Jill and Hunter who wanted Joe to run for a second term. The DNC should have pushed Joe to step down far before his disastrous debate with Trump. The delay in Joe stepping down until so late in the campaign gave the nomination to Kamala and avoided the likely chaos of an open convention, but likely was one reason for Trumps big win.
there was plenty of ways they could have done the other. I sometimes wonder why they chose the more awkward way, to pressure him to withdraw late in the game.
Dems don’t usually make things harder on themselves in getting what they want and have shown anyone (even presidents) is expendable.
