‘There were whispers’: Dem insiders claim Biden was victim of a ‘soft coup’ because he ‘isn’t fit’
June 30, 2024 | Kevin Haggerty President Joe Biden’s disastrous matchup against former President Donald Trump may prove to be a “debate-gate” as Democratic insiders weighed in on a potential “soft coup” against his candidacy.
As the incumbent’s performance continued to eclipse any specific point either candidate made on stage Thursday night, an ongoing debate carried on over whether or not it was time for perpetually vacationing president to go on a permanent getaway. An added layer of that discussion pertained to the potential of the head-to-head having been a deliberate attempt to speed up Biden’s sendoff.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, a former aide to Hillary Clinton made note of the timing of the debate and who had pushed for it in suggesting the president’s political future was hinged on his performance.
“There has never been a debate this early before. Traditionally the debates are held after the Republican and Democratic conventions, which are in July and August. Most years the first debate is early September ahead of the November election,” the former aide reminded.
“Biden’s inner circle demanded this early debate. 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,” added the unnamed individual. “They wanted to test him against Trump early, while there was still time to replace him if he failed to rise to the occasion. Which, of course, he did spectacularly.”
