(PJ Media) Joe Biden’s resistance to dropping out of the race may be out of confidence or stubbornness, but the calls for him to step aside are growing. I think the Democrats’ Plan B may be invoking the 25th Amendment.
No cabinet has invoked the 25th Amendment in its history, but if a majority of the Cabinet and the vice president agree that Biden can’t continue the campaign (and, by extension, is unable to carry on as president), they might just have to invoke it.
Last week, I would have said this was never going to happen. Now I’m thinking it might.
On a recent episode of his podcast, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd made the stunning admission that two years ago, a top cabinet official told him that Biden was not in condition to run again.
“I’m not gonna out the cabinet secretary. But I had a cabinet secretary two years ago, Okay? Two years ago, out of the blue ask me, ‘Do you really think he’s gonna…he can’t run again, like this?'” Todd admitted. “And I said, ‘Well you have more interaction with him than I do,’ and they said, ‘I don’t have a lot of interaction with him. This is a pretty senior cabinet secretary, and this was two years ago. This is one of those, classic open secrets, a nonversation, right? It’s the story everyone knows, and everybody was afraid to talk about.”
This jibes with a separate CNN report that Biden’s Cabinet meetings are scripted affairs.
