In a year when clarity and common sense should dominate political discourse, the Democrats have definitively outdone themselves by staging what can only be described as a coup against their own sitting president, Joe Biden. Maureen Dowd, a columnist for the New York Times, has directly acknowledged the behind-the-scenes machinations that compelled Biden to withdraw from the race, describing it as jaw-dropping. This isn’t just politics as usual; it’s a striking example of how powerful party elites prioritize their ambitions over the democratic wishes of voters.
As 2024 unfolded, the signs of Biden’s decline were unmistakable. His increasingly incoherent responses during public appearances painted a concerning picture of a man no longer fit to lead. The once confident Biden had morphed into a figure prone to bizarre rants and confused interactions. Nevertheless, the Democratic establishment, embracing hope over reality, insisted he was perfectly capable. The constant reassurances from Pelosi and Schumer—complete with thinly-veiled denials of any involvement in the supposed coup—sounded more like a Shakespearean farce than a serious political party facing an election.

Then came the fateful realignment. Democrats felt the heat as Biden’s polling numbers plummeted, reflecting the genuine concerns of American voters. With him locked in as the primary candidate despite clear deficiencies, the urgency for a maneuver became apparent. The whispers turned into direct pressure, culminating in Biden’s abrupt decision to exit the race. Dowd’s assertions reflect what many conservative observers have noted: it was a calculated power move by party insiders looking to salvage their chances in the upcoming election.
Biden’s outer circle—most notably his family—played a pivotal role in maintaining the status quo for as long as possible, profiting from his time in office while ignoring the obvious decline of his mental acuity. The irony here is palpable: a party that prides itself on inclusivity chose to sideline not only their sitting president but the very primary voters who supported him. The Democrats have once again proven that they prioritize power plays over principles, sidelining the democratic process when it does not serve their interests.
Looking ahead, the Democrats face a steep uphill battle with Kamala Harris as their designated successor. Dowd’s lukewarm defense of Biden’s ousting raises the question: can Harris step out of the long shadows of an administration characterized by confusion and mishaps? With the Democratic National Convention on the horizon, observers wonder what message will come from Biden’s keynote address—will it be a feeble endorsement of Harris, a plea for unity, or a rambling departure from political normalcy?
As the Democrats prepare to cozy up to their newly minted presidential hopeful, echoes of past failures loom large. With the party’s elites now fully in control, there will be little room for error when Harris faces her first real scrutiny from an invigorated media and, eventually, Donald Trump. The perceived victory of this internal coup may be short-lived, and when the shouts of joy dissolve, the Democrats will have to confront the reality of an unqualified candidate trying to navigate tumultuous waters without a sturdy ship to rely on. The previously buried truth is now rising to the surface: without Biden, the Democrats may have unwittingly dug their own political grave.
