Someone in President Joe Biden’s inner circle must be blowing smoke up his ears because he believes he is doing well in the polls. Even more troubling, he thinks he is the only person who can beat former President Donald Trump.
Unfortunately for him, that's just not true.
A Morning Consult poll found that 46 percent of respondents support Trump, compared to 42 percent who favor Biden. This four-point lead is Trump’s most considerable polling advantage since February.
As Biden staffers whisper sweet nothings in the president’s ear, Democrats and donors are working behind the scenes to form a “coup” against him.
Two of those are top Democrats who are power-hungry to keep the White House. But so long as Biden stays in the race, those dreams might as well stay dreams.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are reportedly teaming up to oust Biden despite the president’s refusal to leave.
According to Politico, Pelosi’s “fingerprints … all over the knife” that is ready to cut Biden from the race.
Schumer reportedly met with Biden at his house and told him point-blank he could not win the November election. Former President Barack Obama also echoed similar remarks.
On Saturday, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said, “Joe Biden is our nominee, and he has a really big decision to make,” adding that Vice President Kamala Harris “is ready to step up, to unite the party, to take on Donald Trump, and to win in November.”
An Associated Press/NORC poll found that two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to drop out of the race.
Despite this, Biden defiantly refuses to do so.
Even left-wing celebrities such as actress Susan Sarandon and actor George Clooney have called on the 81-year-old president to withdraw.
The Trump campaign, however, reportedly plans to use the imminent “coup” to their advantage.
“They are actively engaged in an attempt – in my view, and a lot of people share this view – in deposing the president of the United States,” Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita said.
“Everything that they accuse Republicans of, they’re actually doing it on national TV every single day. Look, you can’t step down as a candidate for president because you’re cognitively impaired while still being the president. The two are linked,” he added.
LaCivita also provided insight into how the former President will deal with a new Democratic candidate.
According to the campaign, Trump will continue to attack Biden’s record, especially if Harris replaces him.
Conflicting reports claim Biden will announce his decision to drop out of the race as soon as this weekend—which was most likely not his idea. However, other reports say the president refuses to go anywhere.
