All that remains is saving face. The rest is taken care of as far as I'm concerned. Joe Biden is on his way out. I said last week that he was politically burned in the current presidential campaign. I now believe he has lost the support of his party.
Every day, a major Democrat suggests stepping down, or it’s in a major daily editorial. Yesterday, the party’s top senator followed suit.
He may not know it yet, but the movement seems irreversible and has only one possible outcome: his departure. The problem is that we don’t oust a president, a man of his age, with a kick in the ass and the 4% he got. Above all, we don’t throw away someone with his tremendous record of service to the party like an old sock!
You have to dress it right, create the conditions, find the right words. Even knowing that everyone will shrug their shoulders a little while believing the explanations, you must find a noble reason for leaving. It will only be in front of history! It will also be necessary to ensure a harmonious transition with his successor. The Democratic Party will be in shock four months before the elections.
Image management
I don’t want to sound cynical or suggest that everything is arranged with the man of opinions. In any case, politics in general is not solvable: there are many human factors at play, but in an extreme case like the Biden crisis, it is possible to resort to extreme solutions.
Let's just say it would be nice if his doctor discovered a more serious health problem. One that has deteriorated recently, making it impossible to do the disproportionate effort of four months of intense campaigning.
Or if his doctor discovers a new illness that forces Mr. Biden to make a heartbreaking choice between his health and politics. Everyone will then understand whether he made a decision to put his health first.
Or if his doctor realizes that health problems will reduce his abilities for the coming months. Therefore, Joe Biden himself, for the good of the party and the country, could make the honorable decision to give up his place to someone whose health condition allows him to devote himself 100% to this task.
fine line
In terms of professional ethics, a doctor would not invent a disease that does not exist. But a doctor might re-interpret the consequences of the American president’s medical conditions. He might draw different conclusions about his ability to survive four months of campaigning or to govern the country for four years.
This is the right moment to coordinate a stylish exit where Doctors are spinning (Or image and PR doctors) A real doctor can help them.
