Whispers from within the Democratic Party suggest that Joe Biden’s recent debate debacle might have been a calculated move orchestrated by his own camp. As shocking as it sounds, claims are emerging that Biden was set up to fail in what’s being dubbed a “soft coup” to pave the way for a younger, more competent candidate.
According to The Daily Mail, Democratic operatives have hinted that Biden’s poor performance was no accident, but rather a deliberate effort to test his mettle against former President Donald Trump early on. Traditionally, debates of this magnitude are held post-convention, around July or August. However, this unanticipated early debate raised eyebrows and, now, suspicions. A former Hillary Clinton aide disclosed that Biden’s team knew he would falter: “There is a growing belief this was a ‘soft coup’ because they know he isn’t fit to govern and have known for some time.”
The stakes are high, and the Democratic leadership appears to be walking a tightrope. Publicly, they stand by Biden, maintaining a façade of loyalty. Privately, however, discussions about his ability to lead have been ongoing. An aide revealed, “Publicly, the Democratic leadership has been backing Biden because they can’t appear to be disloyal to the President. But privately, there have been discussions going on for a long time that he’s too old to beat Trump.”
Fueling this fire is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who reportedly sent an advance team to Washington D.C. weeks ago in preparation for a potential presidential run. Whitmer, a prominent figure tipped as a top Democratic contender, has allegedly been maneuvering behind the scenes, meeting with Democratic officials to lay the groundwork for her candidacy. This covert operation suggests that Whitmer is ready to step in should Biden be deemed unfit to continue.
Whitmer’s reputation precedes her. Known for her stringent lockdown policies, she has faced criticism for her draconian measures, including keeping small businesses and schools shuttered while exempting herself from the same rules. Her tenure has been marked by accusations of corruption and allegations of selling out Michigan to the Chinese Communist Party. Nevertheless, she remains a favorite among certain Democratic circles and was even considered for Biden’s running mate slot in 2020.
Former Michigan gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon has not minced words, predicting that Whitmer would replace Biden if he floundered in the debate. Reflecting on Whitmer’s controversial past, Dixon remarked, “If pathological liar Joe Biden fails tonight, this is the next pathological liar they’ll replace him with.”
As the dust settles, the implications of these revelations are profound. The notion of a “soft coup” within the Democratic Party signals internal strife and a desperate bid to retain power amid mounting concerns over Biden’s competency.
