Are Democrats Trying To Take Biden Out Before 2024?

Joe Biden ran for President three times before he won the White House. He felt that 2020 was the right moment to give it another shot.

Biden’s rambunctious years as a senator, vice president and vice president had diminished significantly by the time he was nearing 80. With the rise of COVID, Biden could barely make it to the campaign trail and ran his operation out of his Delaware house basement.

And let’s be frank: many Americans had tired of President Donald Trump’s act. Many independents gave Biden a shot in 2016, but many of them were unable to support him in 2020.

But Biden’s usefulness may have expired. Although the president has stated that he intends to run again in 2024 and at least one lawmaker believes that Democrats plan to get rid of him to make room for a better candidate,

They may just have the right formula. The discovery of classified documents in Biden’s garage and the U.S. attorney general’s recent appointment of a special counsel to probe the matter gives Democrats a vehicle to weaken Biden.

“I mean, there’s an element of this where it’s Joe Biden’s lawyer who turns this information over, it’s Joe Biden’s own Justice Department that’s appointed a special counsel to investigate him,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Fox News Digital.

“There’s an element to this that feels like the Democrats are taking out Joe Biden,” Gaetz said. “I don’t know that that’s the case, but I don’t know that it’s not.”

“Maybe the Democrats have realized that Joe Biden is not useful to them anymore, and they just assume toss him out and get a younger crop of candidates engaged in the next presidential race,” He said. “But just as Joe Biden is hardening the cement around his decision to run for president again, they start looking for what classified documents might have been tucked away eight years ago.”

In the last couple of months, three batches of Obama administration-era classified documents have been found on Biden’s properties: one batch at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., and two at his Wilmington, Delaware, home.

The first batch was found just days before the 2022 midterm elections, but the Department of Justice didn’t release the info until this month.

“We have a lot to learn about the content and substance of those documents, and if they relate to China, and if they were at that Biden Center at UPenn funded by China. That’s going to be a far more grave concern,” Gaetz said.

“What if the documents relate to our economy?” He said. “What if Joe Biden was hustling information to his CCP [Chinese Communist Party] funders at the Biden Center for UPenn and that gave China economic advantage over Americans? That would create a nexus between those documents and our economic woes at the hands of rising China.”

Gaetz admitted that all speculations are speculative, until the actual contents of the documents are discovered.

“I haven’t been frothing at the mouth over the mere existence of some documents in a garage in Delaware,” He said. “You know, I believe Americans are more worried about the weaponization of government against them than they are, you know, what papers Joe Biden stuffed in [the] glove box of his Corvette.”

“If they are mementos or, you know, documents that have far outlived any sort of functional relevance quite some time ago, then I think that’s different,” Gaetz said.

Biden finally spoke on Thursday, after 68 days without comment.

“We found a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place. We immediately turned them over to the Archives and the Justice Department. We’re fully cooperating, looking forward to getting this resolved quickly,” Biden said.

“I think you’re gonna’ find there’s nothing there. I have no regrets. I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. That’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no there there.”
