The Democrats are squirming, and it’s a delightful spectacle. Their supposed savior, President Joe Biden, has become more of a question mark than an exclamation point. The chaos hit a crescendo on June 27, when revelations about Biden’s health and leadership, or lack thereof, came to light. Cognitive issues aside, this White House seems unable to offer a clear story about the parade of visits made by Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s Disease expert, starting from August 2023.
The burning question: Is Biden grappling with a neurological disorder? Don’t expect a straightforward answer from this administration. The president’s performance raises serious doubts, yet Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer publicly declares unwavering support for Biden. According to Axios, though, behind closed doors, Schumer sings a different tune, one more in harmony with the chorus of Democratic donors.

Schumer, the perennial political shapeshifter, has been having hushed conversations with party donors about potentially nudging Biden off the ticket. Schumer isn’t alone; the whispers have reached the echelons of former President Obama and became audible even in Nancy Pelosi’s tightly controlled corridors. Publicly, these figures remain loyal, but the private chatter reveals a party preparing for a contingency plan. The loyalty to Biden seems as genuine as a three-dollar bill.
Behind the scenes, the Democratic leadership and its elite backers are scrambling. Over the last 12 days, Schumer has been an eager listener to donors’ sagacious suggestions about how the party can escape the Biden debacle. Meanwhile, the majority leader’s spokesperson flatly declines to comment on this revelation, adding an extra layer of mystery to this already convoluted political drama.
The Democrats’ gamble has been exposed as a monumental blunder. They expected to govern by tweets and empty speeches, a strategy that crumbles under the weight of an incompetent administration. With Biden battling not just for the nomination but for coherence, the dam is showing more cracks than ever. When it finally breaks, the fallout will be cataclysmic. Conservatives won’t need popcorn for this one; they’ll need a front-row seat.
