In a plot twist that sounds like it was pulled straight from a political thriller, Joe Biden’s presidency appears to be under siege, and not just from the opposing political party. The source of this mayhem? None other than acclaimed journalist Seymour Hersh, who may not always land on solid ground but has a penchant for stirring the pot. His report suggests that Biden has been threatened with the 25th Amendment by top Democrats who seem to be growing tired of his fumbling administration. This isn’t the spirited banter of conspiracy theorists, but rather a juicy tidbit worthy of a Hollywood script.
Biden has been navigating through a sea of adversity lately, and the pushing from his own party is starting to resemble a coup better suited for a banana republic. Hersh’s story alleges that following a disastrous debate—and let’s be real, the phrase “disastrous” might be putting it kindly—Democrats began to circle him like sharks. Poll numbers plummeted, donors started withholding cash faster than Biden could misplace his reading glasses, and even the supposed loyalists like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries began nudging him toward the exit door.
Insane story from Seymour Hersh…
Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment by top level Democrats.

To add a delightful twist to this political soap opera, Barack Obama reportedly got involved in the apparent bloodletting of Biden’s campaign. In what can only be described as a high-stakes breakfast meeting, word has it Obama informed Biden that Kamala Harris was on board with invoking the 25th Amendment. The implications are staggering—if true, this indicates that the Democrats are ready to pull the rug out from under their own leader. One has to wonder if they are more concerned about Biden’s health or the electoral dire straits they find themselves in as the 2024 election approaches.
Complications further compounded on Biden’s recent trip to Nevada, which was overshadowed by his COVID diagnosis and an unexplained medical episode that had many speculating about his fitness for the role. A medical team was on standby as roads were closed, leading to questions about whether America’s president might be heading down a slippery slope. He eventually resurfaced, only to sound as if he had just run a marathon with a mouthful of marbles—definitely not the image a campaign wants to project.
If it is indeed true that the Democrats have orchestrated a plan to oust Biden, they have effectively demonstrated just how fragile the position of a sitting president can be when the party bigwigs decide it’s time for a change. In a remarkable twist of irony, not only has Biden’s credibility been compromised, but the Democrats may soon be looking at Kamala Harris as their potentially unwanted next candidate—someone nobody really voted for or believed in during the last election cycle. It hardly seems fair, yet here they are, pegging their hopes on a candidate so unpopular that she dropped out of the 2020 race before the first primary.
This potential shakeup within the Democratic Party could lead to serious repercussions. Whether the 25th Amendment chatter is more than just noise remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: If this coup—which might seem absurd if it weren’t so plausible—does come to fruition, Americans will witness a political spectacle that rivals the best of them. The real question now is, how will the Democrats attempt to sell Kamala as the new face of their party when the majority of their own base never wanted her in the first place?
