Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and key figures in the Democratic Party have presented Joe Biden with an ultimatum: step down from the presidential race or face the destruction of his legacy. It seems Biden’s political future is at a crossroads, and the Democratic power players are determined to shape it.
Biden’s campaign once thought secure after an assassination attempt on Donald Trump shifted focus away from potential changes at the top of the Democratic ticket, now faces intense scrutiny. Some pundits believe Biden’s campaign may not survive the weekend, raising questions about his future.
The Democratic strategy to end Biden’s career follows a three-step plan. First, they ask him to step aside; if he resists, they then insist he leave, and if he still refuses, they threaten to ruin his reputation. We are now approaching the third step.
Step One: The Gentle Request
The first approach was straightforward. Had Biden agreed to step down willingly, he could have seen a surge in approval ratings similar to what Lyndon B. Johnson experienced in 1968. This boost would have likely benefitted the new candidate, probably Kamala Harris, and would have secured Biden’s legacy as a president who put the country first.
However, Biden did not take this path, and now we are in Step Two. Biden has already dismissed attempts from Obama’s team to encourage his departure despite their subtle threats. Editorial boards from influential outlets like The New York Times and Chicago Tribune have joined the pressure campaign, but Biden remains resolute.
Step Two: The Subtle Threats
The next phase involves more aggressive tactics. The Democrats might release damaging information or recordings, such as the rumored interview tape with special counsel Robert Hur. If the tape were favorable to Biden, it would have been released already. Other potential moves include Attorney General Merrick Garland taking unexpected actions or Hunter Biden’s legal troubles being used as leverage.
Hunter Biden’s ongoing struggles and attempts to legitimize his career might also become a factor. If Joe Biden steps down, he might offer his son a pardon, which could alter the dynamics within the Biden family and the Democratic Party.

Step Three: The Ultimate Threat
If Biden refuses to leave, the Democrats might resort to the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president deemed unfit for office. This would be unprecedented, as no president has ever been removed in this manner. It would effectively end Biden’s presidency, ruining his legacy.
The pressure on Biden is intense, and the Democrats have numerous tools at their disposal. However, Biden also has his options. If he chooses not to withdraw or endorse Kamala Harris, the Democrats could face a contested convention, which would be a major headache for the party.
Biden could also choose to expose Democratic secrets, potentially causing significant damage to the party if he feels betrayed. For now, despite the mounting pressure, Biden remains the president and has control over his fate.

The Coming Days: A Pivotal Moment
The next few days will be crucial in determining Biden’s future. Will he step down, or will he fight to stay in the race? His decision could significantly impact the Democratic race just months before the election. The pressure is mounting, and Biden’s response will reveal whether he can continue to lead or if he will be forced to exit the stage.
