It’s official.
Joe Biden’s team has confirmed this morning that he will NOT be dropping out of the Presidential Race.

BREAKING: Joe Biden will not drop out of the 2024 Presidential race and remains committed to a second debate in September.

But what I really want to talk about is the fact he even had to make that announcement.
Let that sink in for a moment….
The Debate went SO poorly that the common assumption is just that Biden is done and will drop out.
The fact that he had to issue a statement confirming he is NOT dropping out says it all, doesn’t it?
It reminds me of Mike Piazza back in the 90s holding a Press Conference to announce “I’m not gay, I’m heterosexual.”
Anyone else remember that?
It looks like the clip has been scrubbed from the Internet, I can’t find it anywhere, but it feels like exactly the same moment to me.
Here’s more, from The Hill:
President Biden is “not dropping out” of the 2024 race, a campaign official said following a shaky debate performance late Thursday that spurred talk among some Democrats of whether he should be replaced atop the ticket.
“Of course he’s not dropping out,” Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster said in a text message.
The president himself brushed off talk over whether he should bow out during a stop at a Waffle House following the debate.
“No. It’s hard to debate a liar. The New York Times pointed out he lied 26 times,” he said, referring to former President Trump.
Biden’s performance in Thursday night’s debate with Trump was largely panned by Democrats, some of whom have acknowledged it will stoke conversations about whether the president should be replaced atop the Democratic ticket before August’s convention.
The president’s voice was often raspy, which the White House later attributed to a cold, and he at times lost his train of thought or struggled to make his point clearly.
“The chatter is very distracting, and it’s going to be very consuming for the campaign,” former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki said on MSNBC. “Should he be replaced? They’re going to be answering that question instead of breaking through on attacking Trump.”ADVERTISEMENT
Meanwhile, it seems likely at this point that Biden is going away, one way or the other.
Voluntarily back away?
Die suddenly?
Or perhaps be removed via the 25th Amendment.
Here is Chip Roy calling for just that:
I intend to put forth a resolution calling upon the @VP to immediately use her powers under section 4 of the 25th Amendment to convene & mobilize the principal officers of the Cabinet to declare the @POTUS is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office.
— Chip Roy (@chiproytx) June 28, 2024
I think Laura Loomer is right, one of these things will happen:
In November I said Biden would be forced out and that he might suffer a bad fall or we will be told he unexpectedly passed away in his sleep.
I hope you all see how close that reality is getting…
These posts are not jokes or laughing matters.
This has been their plan all… https://t.co/dnSPoSi3ix
— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) June 28, 2024
But don’t start celebrating….
Biden in = Good for Trump
Biden out = a brand new race.
They want him out.
They need him out.
And they’re not doing it to make it easier on Trump, they’re doing it to defeat him.
It’s been their plan all along….
I explain here:

DEBATE UPDATE: Joe Biden Imploded Tonight, No One Disagrees -- But Here's Why That's Very BAD News!
It's nearly universal....
President Trump mopped the floor with Joe Biden tonight.
Actually, it wasn't that President Trump was THAT good....
He was good, yes.
Very well done.
But it was the fact that Biden was THAT bad.....
So we should celebrate, right?
Not so fast.
Not so fast at all.
This is very bad news, and I'll explain why in just a moment.
But first look at everyone celebrating Biden's demise:

After the first commercial break, I asked my focus group of undecided voters how many of them are more convinced to vote for Joe Biden.
Zero raised their hands.

it doesn't matter what the answers are anymore. the debate demonstrates what we already knew: biden is not fit to be president. its sad that it had to come to this - to force this elderly man through this. and force us to watch. this is gross.

And look....none of them are wrong.
It's all true!
Trump was great.
Biden imploded!
But we have to stop for a second and ask ourselves why?
Did they just get his dosing wrong?
I don't think so.
I think so.
The State of the Union was only a few months ago, and to be fair he looked sharp there.
They pumped him full of so many drugs he looked fairly decent.
They could have done the same thing here, but they chose not to.
Why?
Because this was the final death knell of Joe Biden.
They needed to kill him off, politically speaking.
That's why this debate had to be so early.
So historically early.
Never been done before.
Why?
Had to be before the Democratic National Convention before they officially nominate their candidate.
Now they can dump Joe and roll in Michelle or Newsom.
And that is VERY bad news.
In fact, they may go so extreme as to remove Joe even from office now via the 25th Amendment:
He is not only not fit for the debate, he needs to be removed as President right now.
— Brian Costello (@bpcostello) June 28, 2024
You should not be celebrating this.
Trump will steamroll Joe.
But Newsom?
Much tougher.
And that's why Joe had to be killed off tonight.
Here's what I just posted to Twitter:
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: The Race just changed BIG LEAGUE tonight and no one sees it.
Joe Biden got destroyed in the debate tonight, right?
Right.
We all saw it.
YAY!
Right?
No.
This was intentional. They rolled him out there to fail. They need to ditch the dead weight. It's why we had the earliest Presidential debate in history.
Have to kill of Joe, so they can roll in Newsom or Michelle.
We told you all along this was coming.
This is not to be celebrated.
Joe lost because they wanted him to implode.
No meds.
He sounded worse than an elderly dementia patient.
Because they wanted him to.
He's gone.
The DNC has not held their convention yet. They will not nominate Joe. They will sub in Newsom or Michelle. They will cite the 25th Amendment and "extenuating circumstances". Or Joe may literally die before now and then if that's what has to happen.
The signal was sent tonight....Joe is done.

Michelle Obama Is REFUSING To Campiagn For Biden, Here’s Why
Michelle Obama Is REFUSING To Campiagn For Biden, Here's Why
A new report revealed that former First Lady Michelle Obama had not been campaigning for Biden due to personal frustrations with the Biden family.
Fox News reported that Michelle Obama expressed “private frustrations” with the Bidens due to their treatment of her friend Kathleen Bible, who previously divorced Hunter Biden.
Buhle and Michelle Obama became friends while her husband was president and Joe Biden was vice president.
Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle divorced in 2017, and Buhle has since been exiled from the Biden family, which has angered Michelle.
Michelle Obama has also distanced herself from Biden after Hunter Biden started dating his late brother Beau’s wife.
Michelle reportedly described the relationship as “weird sh*t.”
Michelle Obama not campaigning for Biden over exile of Hunter’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle: report https://t.co/DOYVZ3vY9p pic.twitter.com/Z0BTzfw8of

Check out what Fox News reported:
Michelle Obama has expressed private frustration with the Bidens over the treatment of her friend Kathleen Buhle after her divorce from Hunter Biden. It has made her reluctant to openly campaign for the president, according to a new report.
The former first lady became friends with Buhle while her husband was in office and Joe Biden was his vice president, and they have since remained close. Hunter Biden and Buhle separated in 2015 and divorced in 2017. Buhle wrote in her memoir "If We Break" about his addictions and infidelity fracturing their marriage, and she was "largely exiled" from the family after their split, according to the Axios report.
According to the report, the Biden family was irked by Buhle's book, although it came out a year after Hunter Biden's 2021 memoir "Beautiful Things," which delved into his addiction issues.
Axios also reported in 2017 that former President Obama attended a Wilmington, Delaware, fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation, a children's advocacy group. At the time, the recently divorced Hunter Biden was dating his late brother's widow, Hallie Biden. According to a source who spoke to Axios, Obama described the dynamics on display as "weird s--t," although he has since denied making such a statement.
Michelle Obama privately told others she felt Buhle had been wronged in the aftermath of the marriage's collapse, and she has not been out front on the campaign trail for President Biden as he faces his re-election battle against former President Trump. She does active work with a voter registration group, however.
EXCLUSIVE: Michelle Obama has privately expressed frustration over how the Bidens largely exiled her close friend Kathleen Buhle after her messy divorce from Hunter Biden.
That's partly why she hasn't campaigned for Biden's re-election.
https://t.co/WM0CBn8JR9— Axios (@axios) June 27, 2024
Per The New York Post:
Former first lady Michelle Obama is reluctant to publicly campaign for President Biden’s re-election because, in part, of how the family treated Kathleen Buhle, her close friend, in the wake of her divorce from Hunter Biden, a new report claims.
The wife of former President Barack Obama has largely steered clear of the 2024 campaign trail after expressing frustration in private over Buhle’s apparent exile from the Biden family years earlier, Axios reported, citing two sources familiar with the relationship.
Michelle’s disdain for partisan politics is also partly to blame for her absence so far this election cycle, the sources added.
So....do you think that's the true reason?
Or do you think it might have something more to do with this?

Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024?
Is Joe Biden really going to be the Democrat presidential nominee for this year's election?
Or, do Democrats have something up their sleeves? Planning to sneak someone else in as Biden's last-minute replacement?
According to legendary New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, that's exactly what Dems are planning. And, they have someone specific in mind to replace Biden with...
"Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader," Adams warned,
"The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there?"
The World is once again moving to Most Dangerous Era of Wars & Genocide!

Earlier this month, Michelle Obama made headlines with a media appearance in which she admitted she was "terrified about what could happen" in the next election, "Because our leaders matter. Who we select. Who speaks for us. Who holds that bully pulpit."

So, is Michelle angling to sneak her way in to the presidential nominee position?
Read this New York Post opinion piece excerpt and decide for yourself:
Biden won’t debate. Can’t. Our codger-in-chief can’t even read the prewritten script in front of him fast enough to pronounce the words.
So, forget him — which most of us already have.
Coming back now — Obama. Not him. HER!
We’ve heard this drumbeat for a while. Now it’s louder.
Plans are to grab Michelle for the Democratic presidency choice. Making the music is Barack the orchestra leader.
Michelle says she’s “terrified” Trump will win. No casual burp. Was programmed. She’s sent a survey to Dem biggies asking their feelings about her candidacy.
Obama’s quietly angling for Joe to go. He’s weaseled up to this for a few weeks. Mouths aren’t talking. But mouths are knowing.
Over one year ago, summer of 2022, she was in NYC meeting several big hedge CEOs, and said, “I am running, and I am asking for your support.”
The Obamas are now nudging to force SloMo Joe to go. Drop out. It’s like who else is there?
Columnist Cindy Adams isn't the only one who thinks this.
Ted Cruz has also stated that he believes Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden.
Ted Cruz: Democrats Will ‘Parachute’ Michelle Obama in to Replace Joe Biden.https://t.co/Hxxho6uUix
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) September 22, 2023
Breitbart reported on Cruz's opinion:
…According to Cruz, if by the time of the Democratic National Convention in August Biden’s “mental diminishment” worsens, it becomes “obvious to anyone that he can’t find his shoes,” and Democrats begin worrying, the event will serve as an opportunity to “parachute” a replacement in.
“The Democrat kingmakers [will then] jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama,” he suggested, adding that “you don’t infuriate African American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win.”
He also suggested that Michelle Obama, having once served as first lady, “has the ability to kind of parachute in above all four [top Democrat contenders] and say, ‘Hey, we’re not picking among any of you; you guys can all fight it out next time.’”
“This is the Obamas saving the day,” he stated.
Cruz also expressed his belief that Barack Obama is “already running the Biden administration,” serving as a “puppet master” behind the Biden White House.
So, what do you think?
Is Michelle Obama angling to be Joe Biden's replacement?
