Inside the Democratic Rebellion: Plot to Oust Biden Intensifies

A growing chorus of Democrats, including high-profile figures and party operatives, are reportedly planning a coordinated effort to remove President Joe Biden from the party's 2024 presidential ticket.

The Democratic Party is facing growing internal pressure to replace President Joe Biden as its presidential nominee in 2024. According to a report by Axios, a group of influential Democrats, including veterans of the Obama and Clinton administrations, are engaged in an ongoing plot to convince Biden to withdraw from the race.

This loose anti-Biden network is said to be expanding rapidly and is circulating polls claiming that the party would fare better with a different candidate. Some donors are reportedly considering providing substantial financial backing to any non-Biden ticket.

The push to oust Biden has gained traction in the wake of his widely criticized performance in the first presidential debate, which raised concerns about his age and mental fitness. Several prominent Democrats, including former Obama staffers and liberal pundits, have publicly called for Biden to step aside.

Craft Ventures co-founder David Sacks, a prominent Silicon Valley Trump supporter, has labeled the effort a "coup" against the sitting president. He claims that Democratic elites are staging a "regime change" to ensure a different candidate secures the nomination.

However, a recent poll by FiveThirtyEight still places Biden as the favorite to win re-election, with a 51% chance of defeating former President Donald Trump.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has not publicly commented on the reports of anti-Biden sentiment within the party, but it is unclear how the DNC leadership will respond to the growing pressure on the president.

The Republican National Committee (RNC), on the other hand, has seized on the reports to attack the Biden administration and the Democratic Party. RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel accused Democrats of "plotting against their own president" and claimed that Biden is "out of touch with the American people."

The coordinated rebellion against Biden underscores the deep divisions within the Democratic Party over the party's future and the direction of the country. It remains to be seen whether the anti-Biden forces will be able to mount a successful challenge to the president, or if he will ultimately secure the party's nomination and face Trump again in 2024.

In a related development, last month, Sacks held a Trump fundraiser at his multimillion-dollar home in San Francisco. He subsequently endorsed Trump, citing policy differences with the Biden administration, particularly in the areas of economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness.

Sacks will be speaking at the Republican National Convention next week, where he is expected to further amplify his criticism of Biden and the Democratic Party.
