In a recent interview, former Clinton official Paul Begala issued a warning to Democrats considering calling for President Biden’s resignation. Despite Biden’s underwhelming debate performance, Begala advised against being the first Democrat to publicly call for the president’s resignation, stating it would spell the end of their political career.
Speaking to CNN’s Jim Acosta, he said, “Here’s the risk: If any of them called me, I’d say, ‘Look, the first politician, the first Democratic politician to call on Biden to step down, it’s going to end their career.’”
“They may be right in the eyes of a lot of Democrats, but if you’re the first one through the door, you’re gonna get shot and I think they all know that.”
Begala explained that several potential candidates within his party could be strong contenders for leadership roles. However, he believes none of them would risk their careers by being the first to challenge Biden.
“None of them are going to say, ‘Hey, let me step forward and knife Julius Caesar,’ right? It’s just like – Biden is a beloved man in the Democratic Party… So it’s a really, really difficult move for anybody who thinks they might want to replace him.”
Meanwhile, The Gateway Pundit reported that Democrat donors are discussing the possibility of an intervention led by former President Obama to convince Biden to step aside. The 44th President is considered one of the few individuals within the Democratic Party with enough influence to persuade Biden to resign.
Doug Kass, a hedge fund owner and prominent figure within the Democratic party, has also suggested Obama’s intervention. Kass claims to have insider knowledge about a meeting between President Biden, his former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and former President Barack Obama. According to Kass’s post, Jill Biden is insistent about Joe Biden running for re-election, causing tension within his own campaign. Kamala Harris is reportedly “furious” that she is not being considered as a potential replacement candidate.
Biden Fundraiser Could Provide Insight Into Campaign Status
Kass mentioned that his neighbor in East Hampton is scheduled to host the Bidens at a fundraiser tomorrow. Whether or not this event goes ahead as planned could provide significant insight into the current state of affairs within the Biden campaign.
