Political strategist Roger Stone believes the Democratic Party will replace President Joe Biden with Michelle Obama for the 2024 presidential election.
Stone shared his views in an interview with Breitbart News during Turning Point Action’s "The People’s Convention" in Detroit, Michigan. He suggested that Biden's incapability to campaign effectively would lead to his replacement before the Democratic convention.
Stone described Biden as "non compos mentis," implying that the President is not mentally fit for another campaign. He pointed to what he termed "epic corruption" involving Biden's family, including his son and brother, as a significant factor that has now become evident to the public.
Stone anticipates that Biden will announce his decision not to seek re-election shortly before the Democratic convention. He believes this would open the door for the convention to draft Michelle Obama as the party's candidate.
Stone's comments in Detroit echo his earlier statements made at a Turning Point event in Palm Beach. He emphasized that the current situation is worse than when he first made his predictions, reinforcing his belief that Biden will be replaced.
Stone clarified that he had not stated that Michelle Obama was running or wanted to run for president. Instead, he believes the Democratic Party might persuade her to run as their best chance to prevent Donald Trump's return to the White House.
Stone's prediction adds another layer of speculation to the already contentious 2024 presidential race. His comments suggest significant internal deliberations within the Democratic Party about Biden's viability as a candidate.
Stone's assertion that Biden will not resign but will opt not to run again indicates a strategic move to maintain party unity. This potential shift in candidacy could have profound implications for both the Democratic and Republican campaigns.
The chances are greater than they have ever been before that Joe Biden will be replaced — that shortly before the convention, he will announce his decision, not to resign, but to not run again.
Michelle Obama has consistently downplayed any interest in running for office and remains a popular figure within the Democratic Party. Stone's suggestion that she might be drafted reflects her significant influence and the party's search for a strong candidate.
Stone's comments highlight the uncertainty and strategic maneuvers expected as the election approaches. By suggesting Obama as a candidate, Stone underscores the potential for a dramatic shift in the Democratic nomination process.
Roger Stone's prediction that Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential election brings a new dimension to the political landscape. His views, shared during an interview at Turning Point Action’s "The People’s Convention" in Detroit, reflect his belief in Biden's incapacity to campaign effectively.
Stone's remarks about Biden's mental fitness and family corruption issues add to the controversy. While Michelle Obama has not expressed an interest in running, Stone posits that the Democrats may persuade her to be their candidate. This potential shift in candidacy could significantly impact both the Democratic and Republican strategies for the 2024 election.
