Democratic Party's Internal Struggle with Joe Biden's Leadership
The Democratic Party faces internal turmoil as speculation grows around Joe Biden's ability to lead. Party members express concerns about Biden's capacity, with leaks revealing internal disillusionment. The party grapples with how to address his alleged mental decline to avoid credibility issues, considering scenarios to convince him to step down.
Media's Role in Biden's Decline and Cover-up
The media comes under scrutiny for its role in concealing Biden's purported decline. Critics accuse journalists of failing to hold power accountable by not investigating and reporting on Biden's cognitive state. Former editor Jill Abramson reveals concerns that reporting the truth may have been avoided to prevent aiding Trump's election prospects.

Public perception shifts as Democratic governors, lawmakers, and figures express discontent with Biden's debate performance and leadership. Pressure mounts on Biden to address concerns, while shifts in support and doubts emerge within ranks about his ability to win against Trump. Democrats grapple with strategic decisions amid growing internal dissent.
Media's Shift Away from Defending Biden
The media is distancing itself from Biden's faltering performance, despite previously acting as his protectors. Democrats are now openly questioning Biden's suitability as the nominee as the press separates from him to maintain credibility. Karine Jean-Pierre's contentious press conference highlighted the media's pretense of being shocked by Biden's flaws while avoiding complicity in a cover-up.
Family's Personal Interests in Biden's Presidency
The Biden family's financial interests heavily rely on Joe Biden staying in power, motivating them to justify and protect his position. Dr. Jill Biden's unwavering support and strategic positioning within the administration showcase the family's strong desire to maintain their influence and status. The potential elevation of Hunter Biden, despite his controversial past and dubious qualifications, underlines the family's self-serving motives in retaining power.
The Democratic dam begins to break as elected officials call for Joe Biden’s ouster; the media turn on Biden as Karine Jean-Pierre struggles for answers; and Hunter Biden is now attending cabinet meetings.
