The Whisper Campaign Against Joe Biden is Underway – In case you didn’t know it, President Joe Biden is very old.
At least that was the conclusion that Eliot A. Cohen, the current head of the prestigious Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) program stated in his recent piece in The Atlantic.
Because of this belief, Cohen argued that Joe Biden should step down and allow someone younger and more competent to run for office in his place.
Of course, Cohen is a brilliant man with many years of experience around Washington, D.C. That Biden was an old coot when he ran for president and was only going to get older while in office should not have come as a surprise to Cohen or any other Biden supporter.
Patrick Bet-David (PBD) of the increasingly popular PBD Podcast has insisted that the Democratic Party’s elite powerbrokers will try to remove Biden from the presidency soon.
Other notables have made similar cases, such as Victor Davis Hanson of Stanford University.
The Great Pile On Commences on Joe Biden
Just when it looked like Cohen’s bizarre piece in The Atlantic pleading with Biden to step down from the campaign and let a younger candidate run in his place might have been a one-off, no less than a day after the piece was published did another organ of official Washington—this time, Axios—run a piece ripping President Biden for his volatile temper under the headline of “Angry Joe: Biden’s Private Fury.”
This, as the story from the July 4 weekend continues burning through column inches in some of the world’s leading newspapers about how a bag of cocaine was discovered near the Situation Room in the White House.
The obvious conclusion is that the illicit narcotics belonged to the wayward First Son, whose drug addiction and sexual escapades are the stuff of international legend, while he was visiting his father in the White House for the July 4 celebrations.
Indeed, a video is circulating on the internet showing the Biden Family standing on the White House balcony, watching the July 4 fireworks display over Washington, D.C., and Hunter Biden looked highly agitated—as though, according to social media sleuths, the First Son was high (that is pure speculation, of course).
A more interesting theory is that the cocaine may have been planted by Democrat operatives who are intent on pushing the aging forty-sixth president out of the 2024 Election, to make way for a more viable, younger candidate.
Taken together, the ongoing New York Post exposes on Hunter Biden’s corruption, the new wave of harmful stories to Biden’s reelection chances from mostly friendly media sources, and the alleged Hunter Biden cocaine scandal, and it’s hard to deny that there is something fishy going on.
Whatever is afoot is happening just beneath the surface. But there has been a definitive change in the way that the media is covering the Biden Administration in the last few weeks. What’s more, it doesn’t seem to be abating.
Why They’re Turning on Crazy Uncle Joe
Joe Biden is a bizarre choice to run in the next election.
He is deeply unpopular. Should former President Donald J. Trump again become the GOP nominee for president in 2024, as he is currently poised to become, the 2024 election will be waged between two of the most unpopular, old candidates in American political history.
It will be a race to the bottom.
Although Biden has proven that, by-hook-or-by-crook (depending on who you ask), he alone can defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box, his unfavorable ratings and the fact that the country is teetering on a massive recession—which has a 71 percent chance of hitting by May 2024, according to the Federal Reserve—the forty-sixth president is not looking to be the most viable candidate for the Democratic Party.
At the same time, however, neither President Biden nor his inner circle of advisers, least of all his family, seem willing to leave office of their own volition.
In recent weeks, news stories have come out implying that Joe Biden’s temper is unmanageable (implying that his age is becoming a factor). We’ve been told that a recession is at hand. That Biden should leave office because he’s too old.
Joe’s Gotta Go
All this, added onto the Republicans’ incessant—righteous—attacks on Hunter Biden’s perfidy. If the Bidens won’t leave the White House of their own accord, they will have to be so weakened by negative press that it is simply untenable for them to remain—lest they suffer the consequences of Hunter Biden’s crimes finally ensnaring the entire family.
Whether Joe Biden is evicted from power before or after the 2024 election is another question entirely. But it seems clear that there are forces at work from within his own party to undermine the forty-sixth president and set the stage for his inevitable removal and replacement with a more desirable candidate.
Be watching closely. There will be more pieces coming from Biden-friendly outlets over the coming months that are increasingly negative and damaging to the Biden Campaign. Whatever is the reason, the system seems to be turning against President Biden. And it’s not to help whoever becomes the Republican Party’s candidate for president in 2024.
