Could Democrats replace Biden as their nominee?
NBC News ^ | 11 Feb 2024 | Alex Seitz-Wald and Ben Kamisar

Washington is abuzz with fresh concerns about President Joe Biden’s fitness after a special counsel report released Thursday raised questions about his memory.

But Democrats have rallied around Biden and despite the fantasies of some pundits and anxious Democrats, the president is almost certain to be the Democratic Party’s nominee as long as he wants.

Both parties have moved away from the era when insiders in proverbial smoke-filled rooms could be kingmakers at the national conventions, and Biden has dominated every primary he’s competed in thus far.

No prominent Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and there's no known serious conservations about it.

“The Democratic Party is united in supporting President Biden, who will be his party’s nominee this fall and will make Donald Trump a loser a second time this November,” said Biden campaign spokesperson Daniel Wessel in a statement to NBC News.

He may not step aside, but he could fall or be pushed aside.

Only things that animate Joe are shootings and Trump

After a weekend with Dr Feelgood, he’ll be skip-stepping and screaming again tomorrow

Expect Michelle Obama’s grand entrance very soon to seek to head the 4th Obama Administration.

Hillary, Axelrod, Begala, Carville, even the New York Times and other Rats are critical of Biden and his angry meltdown the other night.

The writing’s on the wall folks. Who’s it gonna be?

Newsom or the Mooch?

It will be fun to watch the State Owned Media fall in line if they do that.

The DNC changed their rules in 2022. They absolutely can replace their nominee without a single vote being cast if they withdraw after they accept the nomination.

This is what I fully expect to happen.

Prop up the potato until he accepts the nomination then replace him with someone quickly after as he steps aside for whatever reason they will invent.

I think it will be Kamala. They will push Joe out before his term ends and she will ride to victory basking in the glory of being the first female president. Talentless idiot for sure, but since when has that ever stopped them?

Yep. But the Obama Regime is oh so powerful. Mooch wouldn’t have to do anything. She could take vacations in Hawaii and The Vineyard as before. Barack would be the HNIC. As he is now.

Yep. Biden has no real primary opposition. So he will have way more than enough delegates to take the nomination on the first round. That’s true even if Biden is sidelined by the 25A at the time. If he (or Jill) wants the 2024 nomination, it’s his.

A reasonable DNC plan:

Step 1: Allow Biden to be renominated.
Step 2: Cheat him back into the White House.
Step 3: In early 2025, threaten him with the humiliation of the 25A if he does not resign.

Ah, but what to do about the lovely Kamala Harris? That’s the head scratcher.

Biden is very fragile and the “Democratic” Party will likely decide that Biden should go quietly into the night.

the game will be to get him nominated and after that he will be dropped out, willing or not. The DNC would then be free to put up a replacement.

This is just too funny. A lot of us have been concerned since the 2020 election. We did not need the special counsel report to tell us that Joe was unfit for office.

I know; I should think better of the judgment of my fellow citizens. I just can no longer manage that.
