"Only if the wife orders it."  Joe Biden and the hypothesis of a step backwards

They spent months, weeks telling us that Joe Biden was the victim of a violent right-wing media campaign. No gaffe, no embarrassment: everything was orchestrated to make Donald Trump win. We have seen them, the little professors who believe they have the truth in their pocket, the famous debunkers, busy treating us like idiots for not having caught the hoaxes about the US president. Today, a few days before the TV confrontation with the tycoon, which turned out to be a disaster for the Democrats, those wise guys are fired and the left is hoping with all its might for a step back of “Sleepy Joe”. And on this point there is no shortage of tasty indiscretions.

The New York Times has called for Biden to take a step back in the race to reconfirm the White House, underlining that suspending the election campaign would be “the best service Biden can render to a country he has served nobly for so long.” But only a very, very few people could convince the 81-year-old to step aside. According to what was revealed by Axios, only his magic circle could convince him to pull the plug: let’s talk about his wife Jill Bidenthe younger sister Valerie Biden and long-time friend Ted Kaufman. They, together with a few other White House advisors, are the only ones capable of convincing Biden to give up the challenge with Trump.

A host of elderly advisors for large or small political decisions, with his wife always at the forefront. The decision-making process for re-nomination is emblematic: no confrontation with the party, but a series of evaluations with his “extended family”. At this stage there is one certainty, if Biden stays, it will be for the same reason why he decided to run again: he and his team believe that he has a much better chance of beating former President Trump than the Vice President. Harris. But the situation could worsen in the next few days and Biden’s wife, together with other trusted people, could act to convince him to take a step back.

For the moment, Biden’s candidacy does not seem to be in the balance, indeed his wife appears intent on supporting him until the end. According to Agi, speaking first at a fundraising event for the presidential campaign in East Hampton, on Long Island, in the villa of a hedge fund owner who is also a campaign financier, the First Lady said that “Joe is not just the right person for that job. He is the only person for that job”. But the climate is heavy, with the Democrats under siege. Regarding the aforementioned fundraiser, many Democrats have demonstrated to invite the current president to withdraw from the race. “Please withdraw from the United States”, “Thank you, see you next time”, “Resign for democracy” and “We love you but it’s time” as stated by the signs displayed.

The situation is delicate and for this reason it is impossible to make prophecies. The data at the moment are frightening for Biden. According to what emerged in survey Morning Consult released by Axios, 60 percent of Americans say Biden should “definitely” or “probably” be replaced with another Democratic candidate for the White House after Thursday’s debate in Atlanta. Only 21 percent say he shouldn’t be replaced. In short, a Caporetto. And the Dems are in the hands of the First Lady…
