Power-brokers versus Biden

The Sun: Cringe moment Jill Biden congratulates husband Joe, 81, ‘like a child’ after debate horror show.

Power-brokers versus Biden is the attempt in late June and early July 2024 by power-brokers of the Democrat Party to replace Joe Biden as the presidential nominee of the party. This appeared to be an orchestrated campaign that began immediately after the June 27 presidential debate, in comments apparently choreographed against Biden continuing as the Dem nominee.

Almost immediately Op-eds appeared in the New York Times demanding that Biden withdraw, followed quickly by an Editorial by this leading liberal newspaper unusually making the same demand. The timing and uniformity of these calls for Biden to withdraw seemed too quick to be organic, and instead appear to have been planned before the debate even occurred.

1940 example

The political classic A Choice Not An Echo describes how the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, Sen. Robert Taft, declined to embrace the pro-war commitment that the kingmakers (including the liberal media) wanted, so Wendell Willkie -- who never held any political office -- was quickly promoted from a nobody to the GOP nominee in 1940.

The book describes a special dinner in New York City where Taft was asked to support going to war for British Empire at the outset of World War II. He declined. Within days the New York Herald Tribune editorial headline was, "Heaven's gift to the nation in its time of crisis."

Assuming history will repeat itself, watch whom the liberal media (CNN, ABC, New York Times) suddenly start to promote lavishly and uncritically, perhaps initially merely praising the person. That's whom the power-brokers already want to replace Biden.
