Biden drop out? It’s ugly.
If Democratic Party operatives were willing to blackmail Joe Biden by invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office, that speaks volumes about how they perceive his ability to continue serving as president. They wouldn’t threaten to do so if they didn’t believe such a move would be seen as legitimate by the public. Biden’s team clearly knew it would succeed as well and relented, and staying on as president was Biden’s consolation prize.
