    "By Saturday, July 20," Hersch writes, "former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden. It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas. 'The Big Three,' the official said, referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, continued to be directly involved. 'On Sunday morning,' the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, 'Obama called Biden after breakfast and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.' The amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties."

    "'It was clear at this point,' the official said," per Hersch, "'that she would get the nod'—that is, the support to run for the presidency in the November election. 'But Obama also made it clear,' the official said, 'that he was not going to immediately endorse her. But the group had decided that her work as a prosecutor would help her deal with Trump in a debate.'"

    On July 26, the Obamas, both Barack and Michelle, did endorse Harris. The phone call during which they offered her their backing was filmed, the call on speaker, while Harris held the phone to her ear. A mic could be seen pinned to her blazer.

    A week ago, Obama wouldn't endorse Kamala Harris because he thought that she wouldn't win. This week, they were working together to get rid of Biden as candidate and get Harris in the spot. Life sure comes at you fast when you are just making it up as you go.

    It is the nature of Biden I guess. Apparently not able to dress himself while at the same time hatching 5D chess level plots to overthrow trump.

    It's amazing (or all made up).

    Wait, the msm and vast majority of democrats had proclaimed Biden to be fit to serve another four years as potus…. and at the same time the leftie cabal were threatening to throw Joe to the curb as a debilitated invalid? How can that be?

    Mind you, not because she was concerned that Biden was unfit to lead the country, but because she was afraid he couldn’t beat Trump.

    Because democracy.

    Amazing how gullible some people can be.
    Trump really does love the uneducated and, for all his faults, he plays them like a fiddle.

    Willie Brown.outmaneuvered Obama to male Kamala the nominee. Obama doesn't think Kamala can win. Some people think Obama wanted Duane "The Rock" Johnson, George Clooney or some other celebrity to run

    Had to look this guy up, apparently was at one time a respected journalist, now doing the Russian TV and Infowar circuit, doesn't believe that seal team 6 killed Bin Ladin, and admitted to lying to plant stories in the past.
