The political theatrics surrounding President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race are more amusing than a sitcom’s season finale, filled with plot twists and absurdity. Rumblings indicate that deep state operatives in three-letter agencies have grown wary of their star puppet—Biden himself. The theory goes that if he could still put together a coherent thought, he might still be the Democratic nominee. However, with increasingly frequent verbal slip-ups, the deep state’s confidence has vanished faster than Joe’s ability to stay on message.
In a recent interview with CBS, Biden rambled on, displaying the characteristic mug of ambiguity and contradiction. He tried to suggest that his withdrawal spurred from concern for his Democratic colleagues, who apparently feared their electoral chances would be diminished due to his candidacy. If polls were tight, why exactly would he, a sitting president, be seen as a liability for his party? That seems to paint a picture more absurd than an advertisement for herbal tea involving a cat on a skateboard. Isn’t it convenient how narratives twist to suit the moment?

Biden’s claims of wanting to avoid becoming a “distraction” are puzzling at best. Reflecting on his chaotic mental state during the last presidential debate, where he staggered like a deer in headlights, one has to question if he was forced out by a party that realizes their crown jewel may have suffered an irreversible mental meltdown. Just two weeks prior to his exit, he sent letters demanding unity behind his campaign. The shift from steadfastness to a sudden epiphany of selflessness is so swift it’s enough to give anyone whiplash.
As the interview continued, Biden spun a yarn about initially considering himself a “transition president,” a claim that seemed to emerge from nowhere. This supposed foresight was absent during his campaign, as he pushed for unwavering allegiance within the party. With a hearty dose of irony, he cited democracy as a reason for his withdrawal. If he struggles to articulate anything sharper than mashed potatoes, how can he be entrusted with the decision-making when the world teeters on the brink of global crisis?
Emphasizing the bizarre atmosphere, Biden’s references to party stalwarts like Nancy Pelosi certainly suggest pressure from party leadership. The shadow of former President Obama is also looming large, as insiders hint he wanted Biden sidelined to make way for Kamala Harris. Beneath this machination lies a deeper conspiracy hinted by various skeptics: the powers that be may have decided that Biden’s air of unpredictability—evident even in his off-hand comments—could potentially derail plans for a smooth Democratic path.
Polls, especially in the heated political landscape of the last few years, are known more for their sensationalism than accuracy. Questions arise: are these distortions intentional, steering opinions toward preferred outcomes? After all, the polling catastrophes during the 2020 election raised eyebrows, as traditional pollsters missed Trump’s actual popularity by staggering margins. In Biden’s case, should it even be a surprise that a narrative favoring his permanence wobbled under scrutiny?
With each ridiculous excuse and contradicted statement, it’s clear Biden’s unraveling isn’t just personal—it’s a product of a party and system prioritizing control over the public’s perception. Should we believe he was simply taking one for the team? Or do the actions of the Democratic elites signal that the game is afoot, making moves behind the scenes as they look for a fresh way forward, one that doesn’t involve the current president who seems to be more of a liability than an asset?
