Top Democrats threatened to forcibly remove Biden from office unless he resigned, set him up to fail at Trump debate - sources | 22 July 2024 | Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post. The well-orchestrated "palace coup" to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, according to the sources. Part of the "elaborate" strategy to remove Biden from the race -- as he [allegedly] announced in a shock letter posted on X Sunday -- was allowing him to debate Republican candidate Donald Trump last month on live TV in Atlanta... As calls for him to bow out mounted, Biden insisted he would continue, but party bigwigs threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution.
