In recent days, talks of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office have gained momentum.
Allegations have surfaced that Democrats may have threatened Biden with this action if he did not abandon his campaign, according to Fox News.
Numerous GOP Senators are questioning Biden's capacity to run the country if he cannot manage a campaign. With Biden's recent withdrawal from the presidential race, calls for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office have intensified.
Leading this charge is Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO), who stated, "Joe Biden has decided he isn’t capable of being a candidate; in so doing his admission also means he cannot serve as President. Therefore, it is in the best immediate interest of the safety of the United States for Joe Biden to resign from office or face removal under the 25th Amendment."
Similarly, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) added, "Can anybody just admit that if Joe Biden is not fit to run for president, he ain't fit to serve as President of the United States either? And if Kamala Harris is too blind or too corrupt to admit to the American people that Joe Biden should have never been in there, she's not fit to serve, either. We got to get them both out of there."
Reports suggest that Democrats may have planned to use the 25th Amendment as leverage against Biden.
According to the New York Post, a recent debate was orchestrated by party leaders to demonstrate Biden's unfitness for re-election. Following this, they allegedly threatened him with the 25th Amendment to force him to step down.
Biden, influenced by his pride and pressure from figures like his wife Jill, ultimately decided to endorse Harris and exit the race.
Politico reports further implicate House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in these threats. Despite publicly supporting Biden, Pelosi reportedly pressured him behind the scenes to withdraw.
As a longtime ally of Biden, Pelosi's endorsement of this plan was crucial, and she purportedly told party members they would do whatever it took to win the election, even if it meant invoking the 25th Amendment against Biden.
If these reports are accurate, they suggest a coordinated effort by Democrats to push Biden out of the race due to concerns over his capacity to serve.
The use of the 25th Amendment as a threat indicates a severe lack of confidence in Biden's leadership abilities.
This scenario raises questions about the transparency and integrity of the current administration, with implications that could shape the future of U.S. politics.
