Biden Replacement Theory: Fact or Fever Dream?
If you say so.
New York Times columnist Bret Stephens wrote a column last week titled, “The Most Courageous Thing That Joe Biden Can Do.” One guess as to what Mr. Stephens has in mind.
Fox News personality Tomi Lahren believes that the Democrats will go ahead and replace Biden.
Reporters at the Daily Mail wrote of a “Democrat plot” to replace Biden, citing a Democratic strategist who said, “The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.”
Here’s Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren, sounding less like a journalist and more like someone you’d call at the psychic friends network:
“I admit, I am the only one who thinks this…and I have been saying this for 2 years…but my wild guess is that Hillary Clinton will be top of the Dem ticket.”
The speculation isn’t limited to Biden, either.
Last week, Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker was entertaining an absolutely wild, somewhat offensive, and utterly pointless fever dream: Replace Vice President Kamala Harris with Hillary Clinton.
No one has mentioned her as a possible running mate for Biden far as I know, but why not replace Harris with Clinton? At 76, she might want no part of it, but it’s hard to retire when you feel your job isn’t done.
