Dems plotted to replace Biden in early 2023, fearful he ‘might die in office’: book
March 28, 2025 | Frieda Powers
Excerpts from a new book reveal that Democrats were developing a contingency plan as early as 2023 on what to do if then-President Joe Biden could not complete his term
Despite their ad nauseam insistence that the aging commander-in-chief was in perfect health, it seems there were real concerns behind the scenes, as even former Vice President Kamala Harris’s aides worried that he “might die in office.”
Excerpts from “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” show that more than a year before Biden canceled his re-election campaign, preparations were already underway to knock him off the top of the Democratic ticket with “hush-hush talks” to plan his withdrawal.
The book by authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes is due out next week, and excerpts were reviewed by The Guardian which noted that Harris’s aides “strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office.”
