A few datapoints are starting to align in a specific direction. Let’s look at the data, then see if a possibility holds merit.
(1) Barack Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris. Given Obama’s distain from ever being on the losing side of anything, the implication is that Kamala likely doesn’t have what it takes to win. The Lightbringer preferring to relish the role of nominee Kingmaker at the Chicago convention, in combination with his massive ego, aligns with this likelihood. Meanwhile, (2) Gavin Newsom does endorse Kamala Harris. Given Newsom’s career ambitions, this decision appears to be looking toward 2028.
Both datapoints would seem to indicate the professional wing of the leftist operation view the November election as an exercise in futility. However, with bets being hedged, that’s not the end of the play. Now we look closer at the position of Biden.
(Via Politico) – […] Steve Ricchetti, who’s been with Biden since his days in the Senate, drove to see the president at his house on the Delaware shore on Friday. Mike Donilon arrived on Saturday. The two men, both of whom had been by Biden’s side during key decisions about whether to seek the presidency in 2016 and 2020, sat at a distance from the president, still testing positive for Covid, and presented damning new information in a meeting that would hasten the end of Biden’s political career.
In addition to presenting new concerns from lawmakers and updates on a fundraising operation that had slowed considerably, they carried the campaign’s own polls, which came back this week and showed his path to victory in November was gone. (read more)
(3) The Biden campaign was not going to have money, and, regardless of funds, the polling indicated it was a futile effort. Trump was going to crush Biden. This point highlights and supports points #1 and #2, the positions of Obama and Newsom.
(4) Later in the day, Frank Biden, Joe’s younger brother, indicates to CBS that Joe Bidens health is deteriorating quickly. This is the first admission that Joe Biden’s “health” was a major consideration. When talking about Joe, Frank’s specific phrase, “to enjoy whatever time we have left” speaks volumes. Video Below:

The #4 datapoint opens the door for something else, for Joe Biden to resign the presidency due to deteriorating health.
Now we put it all together and remind ourselves how shallow the Democrats are; also, how ideological and vain they are to legacy issues.
Even if the DNC professionals viewed the November election as a likely defeat, they would still want to advance their party on an ideological basis and keep their left-wing pumped up. There’s a possibility that can be created by Joe Biden resigning from office and Kamala Harris becoming the first woman president.
All of this political achievement would then turn the DNC Convention in Chicago into a pre-inauguration celebration, that would position the President Kamala Harris inauguration as part of the campaign. President Trump is then still campaigning against an incumbent president.
The strongest position to run for the office of the presidency, is from the office of the president. Under this scenario Kamala Harris, and by extension the base of the Democrat apparatus, has this emotional lift.
The pop culture/Hollywood aspect of Madame President opens a world of dreams for the Democrats. Big celebrations everywhere, Taylor Swift participating, etc etc.
As the process unfolds, Joe Biden is welcomed into Chicago as the Titan of Democrats, and the music plays for the adoring crowds. Heck, the timing of the abdication or resignation from office may even coincide with the convention as previously predicted. Without disunity, and with legacy unity providing fuel for the delegates, the optics and narrative of the Democrat position literally changes overnight.
At the conclusion of the convention, Madame President then begins running against the horrible Orange Man as Hollywood and media executives begin replacing traditional campaign promotion with USA Madame President engaged with congratulatory world leaders. Hollywood has been selling this DEI POTUS script in various forms for multiple years now.
If Kamala sucks or fails, who really cares, the legacy part is achieved. “You’ve come a long way baby,” with pussy hats back in fashion.
Just as Joe was disposable as a one term POTUS, so too can Kamala be considered disposable as a five-month POTUS.
What makes this scenario all the more likely is how the right-wing of the UniParty bird is flapping the same message, Joe must resign.
If we look at it without pretending, it doesn’t matter much if Joe Biden resigns, and Kamala Harris takes over. Joe wasn’t running things, and neither would Kamala.
We keep watching.
