J.D. Vance has joined the chorus of conservatives who have begun claiming that President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race constitutes a so-called “coup” in the Democratic Party.
In an interview filmed on Saturday with Fox News’s Jesse Watters, a clip of which aired on Fox & Friends Monday morning, Watters asked former President Donald Trump and his newly minted running mate, Vance, the new question plaguing Republicans: “Is it a coup against Joe Biden?” Both of them fumbled their answers.
“Uh, sort of,” Trump said unsure, looking over to Vance for explanation.
Someone tell them the DNC is a month away.
Yeah, but with Biden’s and Pelosi’s endorsement, and with her already being on the ticket before this, and with no other major candidates being on the field (and practically nobody at all with the name recognition, unless Michelle Obama wants to toss her hat in the ring), there’s really nobody else that’s likely to be considered. They want the convention to go smoothly and be a show of unity, so they’re going to have all their ducks in a row long in advance. It’ll be Harris, unless something super awful happens this month.
