Former President Barack Obama has threatened to remove President Joe Biden from power under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh reported on his blog on the Substack platform on July 27, citing sources.
“Approvingly [экс-спикера Палаты представителей Конгресса США Нэнси] Pelosi and [лидера демократического большинства Сената Чака] Schumer, Obama called Biden and said: “Here’s the situation: we have a deal [вице-президента США Камалы] Harris to invoke 25th Amendment”says Hersh.
The journalist points out that Obama was forced to remind Biden of the 25th Amendment, according to which the vice president assumes the role of head of state if the presidency ends early due to his incapacity, due to the discontent expressed by the main donors of the Democratic Party.
After Biden’s disastrous televised debate with Trump in June and a string of negative polls, they were hesitant to give millions of dollars to a party whose candidate and president were rarely sane.
“One official who has been involved in fundraising for decades told me that Obama has proven to be a leader throughout these negotiations. He had a plan and he wanted to carry it out, and he also wanted to control the options. [нового кандидата]»the journalist added.
According to him, it was already clear during Obama’s conversation with Biden that Biden would be replaced in the election by Harris.
“When it became impossible to hide Biden’s increasingly deteriorating condition”The question of Biden’s participation in the election has finally been resolved, Hersh stressed.
Obama agrees with Pelosi, Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who was “directly involved” in the process of freeing Biden from going to the polls, that Harris’ past work as a prosecutor will help her in her contest with Republican Donald Trump.
Recall that on July 21, US President Biden announced his withdrawal from the electoral race and agreed to support Vice President Kamala Harris, candidate for the US presidency. On July 26, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle also supported her candidacy. The Democratic Party will also have to elect its representative, candidate for the presidency, at the convention in Chicago (Illinois), which will take place from August 19 to 22.
We also remind you that the newspaper “Zavtra” No. 29 of July writes that “The Biden team, including members of his family, has asked and will receive from Democratic Party sponsors in exchange for the withdrawal of “Sleepy Joe” from the electoral race, the financial part of which is close to 3 billion dollars (255 billion rubles), as well as significant intangible bonuses, such as the resolution of several court cases, legal immunity,” Says a Philadelphia source.
In addition, it is reported that “good” The conversation between Trump and Zelensky was guaranteed by the support of the influential ethno-confessional lobby, their promise to support the Republican candidate in the 2024 elections, as they did in 2016.
