Biden Delayed Stepping Down as He “Doubts Kamala” as Senior Democrats Fail to Back Her

by Will Jones
22 July 2024 1:19 PM

President Biden delayed stepping down in part because he doubted Kamala Harris was up to the challenge of an election battle with Donald Trump, sources have said. The Telegraph has more.

The 81 year-old President dramatically withdrew from the race on Sunday and endorsed his Vice President after weeks of calls for him to stand aside over growing concerns over his age and declining health.

However, the reason Mr. Biden and his senior advisers’ hesitated for so long was a lack of faith in Ms. Harris, 59, due to her occasionally rocky tenure, three Biden aides familiar with recent talks about his plans told Axios.

Trouble is, delaying it and then backing her only made it worse.

It comes as Harris fails to secure the backing of senior Democrats after she announced her bid for Presidential nominee.

There has been telling silence from both Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker who wields significant power. Neither Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, and Hakeem Jeffries, the minority House leader, have backed a Harris coronation.

However, Ms. Harris has won the support of Gretchen Whitmer, the Governor of Michigan, and Gary Newsom, California’s Governor, who had both been touted as possible contenders for the nomination.

The Clintons also endorsed the Vice President, saying on Sunday they “fight with everything we’ve got” to support her run for Oval Office. Mr. Biden’s campaign has already been renamed “Kamala HQ” on social media.

“My intention is to earn and win this nomination,” Ms. Harris said in a statement shortly after Mr. Biden’s dramatic exit from the race. “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald Trump.”

It’s almost as if refusing to admit the transparently incapable Biden is unfit for office until the very last minute, and then switching to his unpopular Vice-President in a blind panic — and hoping you can rely on censorship and a compliant media to cover-up the problems — is a bad electoral strategy!

Because Harris is on the Biden ticket she is entitled to use his $100 million campaigning war chest. Thus the official social media account for Joe Biden’s former Presidential campaign on X has wasted no time in rebranding as @KamalaHQ.

Welcome to Kamala HQ.

This is the official rapid response page of Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign.

Kamala is notorious for her word salads in public speaking, using lots of verbiage to communicate little, while giggling apparently uncontrollably. A lampooning from Left-leaning satire show the Daily Show sums up for many the reasons why she is not a serious candidate for President.

Stop Press: Lionel Shriver, writing in UnHerd, describes Harris as “Biden’s idiotic diversity hire” and points out that even a large proportion of Democratic voters can’t stand her. Worth reading in full.

Stop Press 2: Pelosi has belatedly backed Harris.

Given that leading Democrats are supporting this drunken dopehead something must be afoot. My bet is Scamdemic ll, major war or financial crash. The election will NOT take place.

It could just be total cock up and group think that has gotten out of control. They are so leftists minded that they have to keep supporting and pushing this DEI hireling. The system brooks no argument or dissent on this. So dumb, leftist cretins keep pushing Harris regardless of the obvious stupidity and ineffectiveness of her approach and character.

The Clinton’s are supporting her candidacy, so they would clearly like to see HRC as Harris’ VP, and then do a bait and switch should she win!

God help us all if that happens!

Nope, I call BS on that as the sole reason. It all went rapidly South after the debacle that was the debate, when the writing was on the wall regarding his cognitive deterioration that they couldn’t attempt to hide or deny any more, then the failed assassination attempt on Trump, which was a last ditch attempt to get rid of Biden and the Leftards’ nemesis. It is also no coincidence that Kim Cheatle was subpoenaed and is due to give her testimony today, the day after Biden’s big announcement, so that’s a nice little distraction from the investigation that’s supposed to be underway regarding the epic failure of the Secret Service. But guess where the media’s attention is? Well not on Cheatle’s sworn testimony, evidently. But also, when is Biden going to throw in the towel and quit as president? The guy’s completely dysfunctional and is president in name only;

”Old Joe Biden has now bowed to pressure from Democrat top dogs and dropped out of the race. So why is this man still president of the United States?

The contradiction is clear in the statement Biden’s handlers wrote in his name, withdrawing his candidacy: “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country” — note the order of priority: party first, country second — “for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.”

This isn’t rocket science. If he is declining to run again, everyone knows why. It’s because he too firmly in the grip of dementia to mount a spirited and energetic challenge to the man whom Democrats have identified as the focus of evil in the modern world. But if that is true, however, then how is it that Old Joe is about to focus on fulfilling his duties as president? How is it that he is able to focus on anything at all? If he is unable to run for president, he is unable to be president.

It’s just that simple. It’s only complicated by the inveterate dishonesty of Biden and his fellow Democrats. Old Joe has been a corrupt, dishonest politician since the day he arrived in Washington, just as Richard Nixon was completing his first term as president. It would be refreshing if Biden could, after a long and sorry career that began with his dishonorable savaging of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, and is ending with him repeating long-discredited lies about Donald Trump, do the right and honorable thing, just this once.
The honorable thing to do is clear: Joe Biden should resign from the presidency.”

I really wonder if the Usans will eventually go full throttle Logan’s Run and simply mandate that everybody past 29 must be killed. People with real dementia usually go from mildy confused to vegetable within months. That’s still really a serious illness and not just an insult for so-called “elderly people” Amuricanic Politicians start to use once Nazi doesn’t seem appropriate anymore.

“If you already know the the candle light is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago”

Absolutely no idea who that little gem came from but it’s perfect for the Dimalama Harris!
God bless America if this cackling primary school teacher gets to be president!

She is the only one to whom Biden’s campaign $millions can go.

I suppose that is one (maybe only) point in her favour apart from being able to walk up/down steps without falling over.

Harris is the female dolt who once referred to herself as descendant of immigrants. As if there’s anybody in the US who isn’t.

Harris’s ‘word salad’ could have been taken from the script of ‘Being There’, the utterings of Chauncey Gardener.

Is she drunk or on drugs most of the time?
She’s definitely stupid and ignorant. One of those problems can be solved by learning and education. One is innate.

I genuinely have no idea why anyone would vote for her. If I saw her without knowing the circumstances of her candidacy, I’d think it was a spoof.

Biden has memory issues. Do you or anyone really believe he has made any decisions about Kamala harris, or anyone else for that matter?
