According to sources close to the Biden family who spoke with The New York Post, President Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment and set up to fail at the June presidential debate.
And top Democrats were behind the whole thing.
From The New York Post:
Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post.
The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday.
The insider also made clear the anger, paranoia and frustration Biden displayed as the party elite circled around him and piled on the pressure.
Part of the “elaborate” strategy to remove Biden from the race – as he announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday – was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta.
During the car crash 90-minute debate, Biden appeared confused, slack-jawed and at one point he froze up, with his shocking performance turning the tide against him.
“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” the family source said Monday.
Aside from Biden’s letter posted to X, the president has yet to address Americans about his decision to step aside and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.
