As the 2024 presidential election is beginning to cast a growing shadow over the American political landscape, many in the party establishment are quietly looking into replacing Joe Biden as the Democrat Party nominee. But who will they choose to replace Biden and how are they going to force him to either resign or drop out of the race without creating political turmoil for the party?

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609268089992-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3028”); } }); }); }

Biden’s physical and mental incapacity is becoming increasingly pronounced and the Republican House, with the assistance of numerous whistleblowers, is revealing evermore damning evidence of potential criminality by both Joe and his son, Hunter.   The pressure to either force him to resign or drop his candidacy and remain in office is accelerating as the Democrats become increasingly fearful of losing the presidency in 2024.

Finding someone to replace Biden is perhaps the least of their problems.  While a number of names have been bandied about, an exceedingly flawed Gavin Newsom appears to be the current front-runner.  However, there is another potential candidate that sets many Democrat hearts aflutter: Gretchen Whitmer, the 51-year-old, well-spoken and telegenic Governor of Michigan. 

On July 6, 2023, Politico Magazine published a fawning article extolling Governor Whitmer.   Within the article, Whitmer claimed she has no interest in running for president, however:

‘); googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-1609270365559-0’); }); document.write(”); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.pubads().addEventListener(‘slotRenderEnded’, function(event) { if (event.slot.getSlotElementId() == “div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”) { googletag.display(“div-hre-Americanthinker—New-3035”); } }); }); }

A subsequent announcement, however, made it clear she’s willing to try.  Whitmer is creating a federal PAC, called “Fight Like Hell,” to boost Biden and congressional candidates next year….

This step could also allow her to assume the role of a leading candidate for the 2024 Democrat nomination, replacing Joe Biden.

Jonathan Martin, the author of the Politico article also reveals that many backstage conversations have been taking place with Whitmer.  He further exposes the Democrats’ increasingly shaky strategy of Biden easily winning again in 2024.

These backstage conversations have taken place as Biden’s approval ratings show little sign of improvement and increasingly appear impervious to external events, for good or ill.  Of course, Democrats are betting that the most significant external event of all—Republicans renominating a candidate with more baggage than O’Hare [Airport] at Thanksgiving—will tip the election again to Biden.

Yet even their assumedly strong odds in such a rematch have not soothed Democrats.

The angst now percolating among the Democrat hierarchy is also reflected among the rank-and- file Democrat voters, as over 50% are saying they do not want Biden to run for the nomination.
