Seymour Hersh Reports on Democratic Leaders' 25th Amendment Threat to Oust Biden with Harris
Jul 27, 2024, 11:28 PM
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has reported on a significant political maneuver involving key Democratic leaders and former President Barack Obama to force President Joe Biden to step down. According to Hersh, the effort included Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries, who gave their approval to Obama. Obama then informed Biden that they had Vice President Kamala Harris's approval to invoke the 25th Amendment if he did not withdraw from the presidential race. This move was reportedly prompted by a major medical event Biden experienced, which was initially covered up as COVID-19. The plan was to replace Biden with Harris, who then endorsed Biden's withdrawal. The effort was described as a 'bloodless coup' by Hersh, highlighting internal party pressures, Biden's deteriorating health, and increasingly negative polls as key factors. By July 20, Obama was deeply involved in the maneuver.
