As Democratic insiders speculated about a possible “soft coup” against President Joe Biden’s candidacy, the dismal contest between the past president and the current one may turn out to be a “debate gate.”
Whether or not it was time for the president, who is always on vacation, to take a permanent vacation was a topic of continuous discussion, as the incumbent’s performance continued to outclass any specific points either candidate made on stage on Thursday night. A further dimension to the conversation concerned the possibility that the matchup was an intentional ploy to expedite Biden’s farewell.
In an interview with the Daily Mail, a former Hillary Clinton staffer noted the debate’s date and the individuals who had pushed for it, implying that the president’s political destiny depended on how well he performed.
“There’s never been a debate this early in the argument.” The debates usually take place in August or July, following the Republican and Democratic conventions. The former assistant recalled that the first debate usually takes place in early September, just before the election in November.
This initial discussion was required by Biden’s tight group. The anonymous source continued, “There is a growing notion that this was a ‘ soft coup’ because they know and have known for some time that he is unfit to govern.” They wanted to put him to the test against Trump as soon as possible so that if he fell short, they could still replace him. Which, of course, he accomplished brilliantly.
The Mail also heard from another person who said, “The whole thing doesn’t pass the smell test.” Long-standing discussions in secret suggest that Biden is too elderly to defeat Trump, yet the Democratic leadership publicly supports him to avoid appearing to betray the president.
“For weeks, there were rumors that Joe would lose the debate,” the insider said.
Following the debate, the public has called for Biden to resign; rumors say he will talk to his family about his future; and large donors worry their money won’t be wasted on a failing campaign.
Ahead of a Hamptons event on Saturday, several donors voiced their own concerns. “I know of at least one significant donor who has appealed directly to Obama to stage an intervention and end to this agony so we can move on,” the source told the Mail.
In the meantime, Barstool founder Dave Portnoy responded in a video uploaded to X, expressing no doubt that the debate had been purposefully scheduled to “wack” Biden’s campaign.
“That was as well as Biden could ever do in a debate,” he said, as footage of the president’s most significant moments from his presidency played. “I tweeted, ‘How are the Dems allowing Joe Biden to do a debate?’ before it started.”
Speaking specifically about how awful the president looked, Portnoy said that talking heads in the corporate media even had to concede, “And I’m not talking Republicans and the Trump people.” The Democrats, according to CNN, are merely piling dirt on him. They are suggesting that he failed to fulfill his obligations, which made him appear weak. We might need to adjust.”
Democrats needed to be aware of this. Given that you are aware that Biden is dead, incapable of speaking, and a vegetable, why would you accept to participate in what would be the oldest debate ever? since they desire to strike him.
He went on, “Because they know he will not be the nominee.” “When Gavin Newsom was in China, being a fool and playing hoops with these tiny Chinese kids, I said this ten, eleven months ago.”
Both he and the Democrats realized that Joe Biden was no longer in office. He is no longer there. They also require another person. And here’s the terrifying part: Portnoy cautioned, “Gavin Newsom is poison. “Gavin Newsom embodies everything that is wrong with politicians worldwide. He is the one who brought about the harshest lockdowns during COVID in California.
In addition to the Californian businessman, a source who spoke with the Daily Mail mentioned Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as a possible Democratic Party nominee in place of Joe Biden. “Gretchen was the first to act,” the source said. The floodgates have now opened.
