Buckle up, folks! The doom and gloom swirling around Joe Biden’s re-election campaign just hit a crescendo. Rumor has it, the 50-percent chance of Biden dropping out has skyrocketed. Insiders from the Democratic Party, including heavy hitters like Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries, are allegedly urging Biden to throw in the towel, armed with dismal poll numbers that scream, “You’re sinking the ship, Joe!”
Adding insult to injury, Biden reportedly tested positive for COVID while in Nevada, an ironic twist given his promises to step aside after any health mishap. Locking himself up in Delaware, Biden is likely coming to grips with the undeniable reality: Democrats are deserting him faster than rats off a sinking ship. The New York Times hinted he is close to giving up, reluctantly preparing to pass the baton to Kamala Harris.
NEW — "According to my sources, President Biden agreed to step down as the Democratic nominee. It will happen as early as this weekend…"

Instead of enjoying a sunny retreat, Biden is apparently languishing in isolation, reflecting on his crumbling campaign, as per anonymous insiders. Some confidantes think he’s still on the fence about bowing out, but others suggest reality is hitting hard. Democrats, once anxious beyond words, are now cautiously optimistic that Biden might finally heed their desperate pleas. As if that wasn’t enough, even Representative Jamie Raskin is reportedly comparing Biden to a worn-out baseball pitcher, practically begging him to consult with fellow Democrats to reconsider his run.
And who’s mediating this Democratic meltdown? None other than Nancy Pelosi. Post-debate debacles left many Democrats clutching their pearls, and Pelosi is allegedly pulling strings behind the scenes trying to salvage what’s left of their 2024 hopes. Democratic officials suggest she believes Biden’s exit is imminent, arguing staying in might just hand the win to Trump on a silver platter.
Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign team continues to downplay the whispers of replacement talks. Deputy campaign manager Quentin Folks insists they are pushing forward, dismissing rumors like yesterday’s garbage. But like it or not, the whispers are growing louder, especially with heavyweights like Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer reportedly declining to join Harris on the ticket.
As Republicans, this chaos is a spectator sport, yet there’s an unspoken hope Biden clings to his bid. Current polls pit Trump ahead in key battleground states, and if Biden sticks it out, get ready for an Electoral College landslide. Virginia, traditionally leaning blue, is singeing red with Trump in the lead.
So, as the Democrats tumble through their internal crises, let’s keep the popcorn ready. Regardless of whether Biden or someone else emerges from this debacle, the path forward looks strikingly favorable for a Trump victory. Remember, Joe—don’t go anywhere just yet.
