The Joe Biden ‘mess’ has ‘one realistic path out,’ according to a secret document from democrat insiders pitching replacement – and it’s not the person beating Trump
Joe Biden’s future continues to hang in the balance after his debate performance spurred a chorus of calls from Democrats demanding he drop out of his reelection race.
The president had a post-debate interview with ABC News on Friday that was meant to quell concerns, but only led to more worries within the Party with just weeks until the Democratic National Convention.
Biden is heading to swing state of Pennsylvania on Sunday to try and recover public perception.
And Vice President Kamala Harris is going to Las Vegas, Nevada this week as her name is floated among those who could replace Biden for the presidential ticket in November.

Kamala Harris is only ‘realistic path’ toward win in 2024, operatives write
By Katelyn Caralle, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
An anonymous document written by senior Democratic operatives argue Vice President Kamala Harris is the ‘one realisitic path’ out of the ‘mess’ created by President Joe Biden’s debate performance.
Biden insists he will not step aside despite calls for him to drop out after bombing his debate against Donald Trump last month.
Harris, 59, is one of a few names Democrats are floating, but she has not beaten Trump in most polls and doesn’t lead in surveys among those who want to see Biden replaced by another candidate.
The VP is heading to Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday for a solo campaign stop.
Joe Biden continues debate clean-up with rally in swing state Pennsylvania
Joe Biden is making a campaign stop in swing state of Pennsylvania on Sunday as he continues to conduct clean-up after his disastrous debate.
The president will land at Harrisburg International Airport and speak on the tarmac around 3:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
It is the first campaign stop after his interview with ABC News that aired Friday and only stoked worries about his viability as a candidate in November with some calling the sit-down ‘sad.’
The 81-year-old also held a campaign rally in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday.
Allies, donors and even some lawmakers say the interview and two campaign stops are vital for if he wants to avoid more calls to drop out before the Democratic Convention next month.
Joe Biden’s campaign says it won’t send pre-screened questions to media anymore as it cleans-up after radio host revealed they were sent what to ask the president.
A source familiar with Biden’s media booking operations told The New York Post:
While interview hosts have always been free to ask whatever questions they please, moving forward we will refrain from offering suggested questions.
Radio host Andrea Lawful-Sanders told CNN on Wednesday that she received eight questions from the White House telling her what she should ask Biden in one of his first post-debate interviews.
Voters are increasingly worried Biden couldn’t lead U.S. through crisis
Only one in four voters think President Joe Biden could lead the U.S. through a crisis at the scale of something like the Cuban Missile Crisis.
A new DailyMail.com poll asked voters if they believe the 81-year-old could stay awake for 48 hours, like President John F. Kennedy had to do in 1962.
But most believe Biden doesn’t have the mental or physical fitness to take on such a leadership role.
Donald Trump, 78, thinks competitor Joe Biden, 81, shouldn’t cave to Democratic pressure to drop out and should see out their 2020 rematch in November.
The former president wrote Saturday on his social media platform Truth Social:
Crooked Joe Biden should ignore his many critics and move forward with alacrity and strength with his powerful and far-reaching campaign.
He continued sarcastically:
He should be sharp, precise and energetic just like he was in The Debate, in selling his policies…
Campaign donors believe Joe Biden is in ‘denial’ about the need for him to withdraw from the presidential election for Democrats to be successful in 2024.
The president insists he is still in the race as donors are becoming increadsingly worried about his mental acuity and fitness for office following his train wreck debate performance against Donald Trump.
Sentiment is growing among inner circles and the public that it’s time for Biden to end his reelection bid.
One donor estimates, according to The Washington Post:
For every 10 people who think he should exit, one thinks he should stay.
Biden flub-filled post-debate radio interview was scripted, host reveals
President Joe Biden’s team provided a radio host with what questions to ask in his first post-debate interview.
In the disasterous interview, the 81-year-old appeared in even more cognitive decline as he called himself a black woman – and now its revealed the sit-down was scripted.
WURD radio in Philadelphia was sent eight questions to ask the president.
Journalist Andrea Lawful-Sanders says she ended up asking four – with Biden still managing to make a mess of his answers.
The president sparked a flurry of headlines after saying he was a ‘black woman,’ apparently while attempting to hail his appointment of Kamala Harris as vice president.
While his flub has been defended as a slip of the tongue, critics – including many within his own party – say Biden needs to get it perfect after his disastrous debate performance.
