The NYT Details the Dem Plot to Oust Joe Biden...and It's a Doozy

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) faced a monumental political chore: telling Joe Biden, the leader of his party, he needed to step down. It’s no small feat, and it’s not like the Democrats had much time. The June debate on CNN, where Biden got rolled by Donald Trump, has set off alarm bells. The cover-up of the president’s mental health got exposed—there was no pivoting away. Then, he caught COVID a few weeks later during a Nevada campaign stop. It reinforced the narrative that was now firmly entrenched in the minds of voters, Democrats and Republicans alike: Biden was too old, sick, and senile to be president.
The then-Senate Majority leader saw the polling; he knew his caucus, and they were staunchly opposed to Biden continuing his run for president. What’s startling is how Joe thought the whole party would continue to unite behind him, even exhibiting arrogance about it. Yes, he was the president, but he was frail. There’s a difference between a powerful office and a powerful person. The presidency was only as robust as the man behind the desk, and everyone could easily outmaneuver the man. Nancy Pelosi ran roughshod over Joe’s political team, which the California liberal admitted was not impressive.
