They never denied it. Biden put her to task. Her(probably someone else's idea she simply ran with it) idea to solve the crisis at the border is to funnel 5.2 billion into South America for infrastructure making such a great place to live that none will want to enter the USA legally or illegally. And it does sound like a plausible idea. However, it does not solve the immediate issue at hand. She is an open border policy supporter. This will not sit well.

That would certainly explain Bidens abrupt change of heart.

Seymour Hersh: Obama and Kamala threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment on Biden before he dropped out

"Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.'"

A new Substack out from Seymour Hersch indicates that former President Barack Obama and VP Kamala Harris, now presumptive Democrat nominee for president, threatened sitting President Joe Biden with the potential invocation of the 25th Amendment if he didn't drop out the presidential race and cede that spot to the veep. This would mean that not only did they force Biden out of the race, but that the Democrats know full well that Biden isn't fit to serve out the rest of his term, but are comfortable letting him continued as a figure head if it serves their efforts to retain power for the party.

How is he able to substantiate this claim?

Woudn't invoking the 25th just make Harris the President until November?

Yes. But in all reality(because Joe is living in different reality) Harris is acting president.

Dunno. Anonymous sources probably.

He has been called out on his anonymous sources in the past. However, it is quite plausible.

Yeah it would explain Bidens abrupt reversal. He was pretty adamant that he was staying in the race, then practically overnight he's suddenly bowing out "in the best interests of the party and the nation". That's quite a turn around with no ostensible cause unless it was something like this.

It might also explain why his announcement wasn't on White House stationary and had an odd signature. Somebody else wrote it, maybe Obama from his desk in Martha's Vineyard, and shoved it into his hand with a pen and a threat to sign it or else.

That sounds a bit cloak and dagger to me. Joe was going to lose. And if he did win, making it another 4 years was not in the cards. Sadly, Jill was pushing her husband IMO. She has been pushing him for the last 2 1/2 years. She pushed him to keep running and his biggest cheerleader. She is trying to save face and a "legacy" if there is one. There was simply no way this was going to work. She had Joe pulled from the race. Not to mention, donors were vocal and checkbooks closed.

Do I think Obama was called from time to time for advise? Called for advise with Joe? Most certainly. But I do not really believe either he or Michelle have any interest in going into public life again. If they did, Michelle would be front and center campaigning. Things are much better in HI and writing books no one buys.

Looking at the betting odds...Trump 278 electoral votes to Harris at 260.

It is quite something watching Harris flip what she said in 2020 and today. Welcome to the middle from the far far left 4 years ago. Astonishing. What do they say about a leopard and it spots? :hmmm: She is like a boom on a sailboat. It swings with the wind.

I don't see the Obamas as wanting to seek public office but they do consider themselves to be party king makers and that is something a king maker might do.


Re the polls. RCP has Trump up another half a percentage point 48.1% to Harris' 46.1%. I think short of Trump making a mistake the Dem convention is probably going to be her last real chance at closing the gap.

No doubt the Obamas are holding the strings to the Marionette.

As of right now Harris is shiny and new. There is excitement and "vibe". It will go on until the convention. However, like anything shiny and new, it gets dull. The wheels fall off. It is not what you thought when purchased. The excitement dies. As far as polls, Real Clear Politics is IMO the best. Although I find polls more influential and manipulative, RCP has Trump up as of today by 2 points. Last week it was 1.5 points. Harris is not closing any gap according to RCP polling.

The crazy thing here is the fact we all thought Trump was finished after Jan 6th. Here we are, Trump got the nomination. Nothing surprises me anymore.
