Is your belief that is planned supported by anything other than raw conjecture?

Yes, just my personal opinion. I have been watching Biden the last few months. Guy cannot even walk 10 steps.  His decline is growing exponentially if you even compare him to a 3-4 months ago.
The democrats hate him-Gaza, inflation, old age.

There will be a switcheroo at the DNC convention.

I am not certain Trump will get the nomination.  His age is also creeping up on him..  People are tired of the chaos everywhere he goes. When his actual crimes come out for everyone to see he will be toast.  DeSantis and Haley are in the wings.
If Trump is still the nominee and the dems pull a switcheroo with someone like Beshear-young, goodlooking, charisma, very smart, Trump will not know what hit him as I said above.
If say Beshear is poling so far above Trump, I could see the elites make Trump an offer he cannot refuse.

Do not  think thing for a instant the RNC , the donor elites and the people who make things happen do  not have a plan B in the works.

 Actually they may have a Plan A in the works that does not include Trump.

Biden, Blinken Push Israel to Lose War — for a Fraction of the Hostages

Joel B. Pollak 2 May 2024

U.S. President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have pushed Israel into a position where it must accept defeat in its war against Hamas terrorists — in return for just a fraction of the remaining Israeli hostages.

Under the terms of the hostage deal currently on the table, Israel would withdraw from Gaza; stay out of the last Hamas stronghold in Rafah; and release thousands of convicted Palestinian terrorists, among other concessions.

In return, Hamas would release 33 of the remaining 133 hostages, focusing on the old and infirm. It would retain a number of hostages to trade for a permanent ceasefire. But Israel could not restart the war even if it wanted to do so.

Most of the hostages — including most of the 100 or so still thought to be alive — would remain in Hamas’s hands. Terrorists would also have a strong incentive to kidnap Israelis — and Americans — in future, and will try to do so.

Israeli politicians, from left to right, understand exactly what the country is facing. Left-wing protesters chanted Thursday that Israel must choose between “Rafah” — i.e. winning the war — and releasing some of the hostages.

On the right, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s conservative coalition partners have threatened to leave the government if the deal goes through — which is entirely up to Hamas, since Israel has tacitly accepted it.

Obama Gets Reality Check after Claiming ‘No One in New York Likes Trump’
By: Jason Walsh

Former president Barack Obama has claimed. Republican front-runner Donald Trump is unpopular in his native New York.

During an appearance on an episode of the ‘Smartless’ podcast in March, Obama falsely claimed that nobody in New York likes the former president.

“Look, uh, you watch Trump’s campaign, you, you watch his career, if, if, if you know anybody,” Obama said before Biden interjected: “He’s a huckster.”
 
“He comes from New York,” Obama continued.

A homeless man in Seattle was caught on camera causing a disturbance in an ice cream and coffee shop, and the small business's owner says police officers were not dispatched when his workers called 911.

The incident took place around 7 p.m. April 24 in the Pike Place Market area near Seattle's famous Gum Wall, according to Baxter & Frost owner Ian Halcott. Security camera footage shows a man wearing a beanie and hoodie with his hands in his front pockets talking to an employee before shoving things off a counter display, making a mess in the establishment.

A second clip shows the man pushing a movable display case at two workers, prompting one to pull a knife to defend himself and his coworker while the other grabbed a spatula and baking tray. The workers continued arguing with the man, before he left and a Pike Place Market security guard showed up.


"This video includes an assault on one of my employees as well as the destruction of my service counter by a deranged criminal," Halcott told radio host Jason Rantz in an email.
