Obama and Clinton could tell Biden to step aside | Bruce Wolpe

“The tipping point is if Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and President Clinton get together and to the Oval Office and say Joe we love you but this is bigger than you are.”

There is a “canyon of doubt” over Biden’s future in the US election campaign, says Bruce Wolpe.

If this is Biden now what will he be like in six years time, if he's here at all.

American voters have an important question for Joe Biden, Jake Sullivan and Donald Trump, about their controversial positions on Ukraine. 'If the USA were invaded and voters found themselves under constant missile attack by a powerful enemy, with many cities destroyed and great loss of life'. 1. Would Sullivan refuse to launch missiles at the enemy launch sites in fear of escalation? and 2. Would Trump be willing to hand over Alaska and the state of California as a trade-off for peace????

Dont want either Biden or Harris to stand.

Take out the Kamala bit and you have a plan.

[treyquattro]

at least Bruce Wolpe is thinking clearly - he nailed the situation with the Democratic Party & Biden.

Gav, the person that managed to destroy California?!!!!

[susanpettitt]

Surely he has earned a rest..fishing..walking near the sea etc..away from stress and politics..I could be wrong.

[susanparkauntiesuze]

Who is Whitmer popular with, because it is certainly not with the America’s Mitchgan residents?

[melgrant]

No way can he commit to another 4 yrs..

[shyft]

The word "could" is doing a lot work here. They haven't.

Why does Wolpe say that Putin didn’t appreciate that at all! I think he meant Zelensky didn’t appreciate it. Putin isn’t fit to kiss Zelensky’s feet.

[benluff]

Although she has the ability to govern, the polling seems to suggest that Harris isn't the solution. Time for a new fresh face to invigorate the contest

[michaelzajic]

Democrats will not so much go for Kamal Harris as Wolpe suggests. Kamala Harris has too much 'baggage' to win the independent voters who may just stay home. The independent voters are the ones who decide our elections and have for many decades. Harris is hated by her staff (a bad sign of her personality, character, and toughness failure). She is not presidential. She cannot make oratory well, or sentences well, is black and is female, all reasons, good or bad, that will diminish support by independents. Now is the time to look for a middle of the road candidate with no baggage, best choice being a Governor, especially if a democrat in a red state, whose popularity won independents and some opposition.

Roy Cooper would be a great selection.

If needs be, the 25th Amendment could be used to FORCE Biden out of the Whitehouse. But however this is achieved, it seems to me to be a matter of the greatest importance and urgency.

As a Biden Harris 2024 supporter from Australia, I think this is the best alternative. I hope all those in power make the right decision and that is, what is best for the people of the USA. That means democracy wins, which is needed for a free world to continue.

[alanwatterson]

Joe needs to preserve his legacy and stand down. The last gaffes were dreadful. They should recruit Newsom.

[paulmasterson]

I love how the Democrats find democracy a problem. They cheerfully elected, in a democratic process, a man who was clearly deteriorating, mentally. Now that it’s become apparent that most Americans realise he’s not up to the task the Democrats have decided to abandon their democratically elected candidate, and simply install someone else without going through the tedious process of consulting party members.

[GeoffV-kh]

His peers from recent times must tell him to step down. Please, God, just do it.

[dougpage]

It is SO disheartening to see democrats support poor President Biden in spite of his obvious inability to mount a coherent campaign. Logically we should be calling for the 25th amendment to be invoked. 
But the Blue MAGA march on, as if nothing had gone awry, ignoring the polls and common sense. 
Why is it ok for Kamala to be a heartbeat away from the presidency, but not a candidate?
Please Joe, for the good of the country, take a well deserved retirement!
