Joe Biden’s endorsement of Kamala Harris as the next Democratic presidential nominee has sparked confusion and amusement in political circles. The former Vice President’s abrupt decision has not only left many bewildered but has also sparked rumors of a revenge plot that rivals a daytime soap opera. According to reports, Biden’s quick endorsement can be interpreted as a digital middle finger aimed squarely at party heavyweights like Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and their elite donor pals who, apparently, forced him out of the race against his will.
The game of musical chairs that culminated in Biden’s exit was not a voluntary retreat, but rather the result of considerable pressure from big-name Democrats. He was reportedly persuaded to drop out under the ominous shadow of the 25th Amendment, which seems to be the modern equivalent of “sleep with one eye open.” His departure from the race came with the pomp and circumstance befitting a man who once said he didn’t know how to quit, but here he was doing just that—albeit not without a parting shot.
In his public exit, Biden claimed he was stepping down “in defense of democracy,” which sounds noble until one realizes he may have had ulterior motives. By endorsing Harris immediately after his withdrawal, he effectively placed his ‘yes men’ in a bind where they had to rally behind a candidate they may not have chosen themselves. It was a classic Biden move, shuffling the deck one last time to ensure that his remaining influence was felt in a party that seems like it’s one caffeine jolt away from full-on chaos.
The whispers of insider chatter revealed that Biden saw this endorsement as his chance to assert some final control—it was a strategic tug at the puppet strings, proving that the show wasn’t over just yet. Observers noted that a mini-primary had been on the radar, driven by a belief that even Kamala Harris wouldn’t shine in such a spotlight. Meanwhile, the Democratic wish list was apparently looking a lot like a casting call for a Hollywood blockbuster, with names like Arizona Senator Mark Kelly being floated as potential showstoppers.
If Kamala takes over before the election, Speaker Mike Johnson becomes VP.

As more layers of this political onion were peeled back, the narrative emerged that insulin-pumping Obama himself didn’t initially think Harris could sack Donald Trump. And yet, while concocting plans to maneuver Biden off the ticket, Obama couldn’t see the bombshell twist coming when Biden endorsed his former running mate. The irony of former foes needing to rally around her became quite the spectacle—one could almost hear the collective facepalms echoing through the Democratic Party’s elite circles. It was Biden’s triumphant revenge, throwing a wrench into what Obama envisioned as a smoother transition for the nomination process.
In a final twist, Obama himself came around to endorse Harris later, only after confirming that Biden’s swift endorsement was foiling what sounded like a chaotic “democratic” process. The statement released was drenched in classic political rhetoric, obviously attempting to mask any sense of doubt about Harris’s chances. Saying she has what it takes to win the election is a bold assertion, especially since the rest of the establishment seems to be holding their collective breath. It’s an open invitation to witness how the Democratic circus unfolds in the run-up to November. And just like that, Biden may have dropped the mic, leaving his old allies to scramble in their search for relevance—or an exit strategy.
