Former Jill Biden Spokesman: Call for Biden to Step Aside Must Come from Congressional LeadershipNick Gilbertson 29 Jun 2024
Michael LaRosa, First Lady Jill Biden’s former spokesman, told Breitbart News Saturday that a conversation with President Joe Biden about stepping aside for another Democrat candidate would likely have to come from Congressional leadership.
LaRosa, who served as Jill Biden’s spokesman in the Biden White House, joined Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle on the program just days after the president’s debate performance ignited mass panic about his reelection prospects within the Democrat Party.
During the interview, Boyle asked LaRosa about Jill Biden’s role as the Democrat Party and nation move forward through uncharted territory in the aftermath of the debate.
LaRosa, who backs Biden and noted he never supported the uncommitted movement or a Democrat primary challenger to the president, emphasized that the Bidens are supportive of one another when pursuing aspirations, whether it be the president’s support of the first lady’s academic pursuits in the past or her backing his political goals. In other words, “when the family comes to a decision, they’re all in,” according to LaRosa.
“She would never be comfortable with a weighty decision like saying, ‘Joe, you have to, you know, step aside,’” LaRosa told Boyle, insisting it would “absolutely not” happen.
“Something like that, and I think it’s important for your audience to know, like, in both parties, something like that would probably have to come from, like, the leadership in Congress,” he said, indirectly referencing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
“And they have to say, like, ‘We have no support at the convention for you,’ or, ‘You’re dragging down the rest of the party,'” he added.
