NYT Bombshell! Biden Advisers Discussing How to Convince Joe to Step Aside

More Democrats are looking to remove Joe…

According to a New York Times report, a group of Biden advisers have been working behind the scenes on a plan to convince President Biden to step away from the 2024 presidential race.

Discussions have yet to reach the POTUS, The Times reports.

From The New York Times:

A small group of Mr. Biden’s advisers in the administration and the campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of several things.

They said they have to make the case to the president, who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign, that he cannot win against former President Donald J. Trump. They have to persuade him to believe that another candidate, like Vice President Kamala Harris, could beat Mr. Trump. And they have to assure Mr. Biden that, should he step aside, the process to choose another candidate would be orderly and not devolve into chaos in the Democratic Party.

Those discussions were recounted by three people familiar with them who, like others in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. There is no indication that any of the discussions have reached Mr. Biden himself, one of the informed people said.

The White House is denying the report.

“Unequivocally, this is not true,” said Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman. “President Biden’s team is strongly behind him.”

NEW/BREAKING Some longtime advisers are now convinced Biden has to drop and are working on how to convince him to do that. Obstacles they know they face: convincing him he cannot win as he’s still convinced he has better chance than Harris to beat Trump https://t.co/JovP9zmviO
