As the rest of the country begins to have the same concerns Republicans have been expressing for years, many can’t help but wonder if he will step down willingly and who would step up to replace him.
Cruz joined Fox Business’s Stuart Varney to predict what the future of the 2024 race might look like.
“Mr. Senator, is Biden going to bow out gracefully or is he going to be forced out?” Varney asked.
“Stuart I think he’s going to be forced out. I put the odds of Biden not being on the ballot in November at about 80 percent,” Cruz responded. “I think the Democratic party is freaking out right now. I think you’re seeing senators, you’re seeing House members, you’re seeing the New York Times, you’re seeing NBC News, you’re seeing George Clooney in Hollywood.”
Cruz pointed out that many of the people who are now calling for Biden to drop out of the race have known about his “severely diminished” mental capacity for some time.
“And it’s worth noting why they’re freaking out. Listen, they’ve all known for six months, for a year, for longer that Biden’s mental capacity was severely diminished, that he was not up to doing the job. But they’re not worried about having a commander-in-chief who’s not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities. The only reason they’re panicking is because they now realize the American people have seen that, and they’re terrified that he’s going to lose in November,” the senator explained. “And so now they’re willing to dump him.”
“I put the odds at about 80%. They dump him. And if and when they dump him, I think their replacement nominee will be one of two people,” Cruz continued. “It will either be Michelle Obama or it will be Kamala Harris. And I actually predicted ten months ago on my podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, ten months ago, I predicted they were going to push Joe Biden out and replace him with Michelle Obama. That may still prove to be the case.”
Varney expressed his surprise at Cruz’s prediction that former First Lady Michelle Obama would be thrust into the race, then mentioned that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly “open to dropping Biden” from the ticket.
“What’s the gossip in Congress, sir, about senior Democrat leadership that they really want him out?” the host asked.
“Look, every Democrat senator, every Democrat House member, they’re only concerned about self-interests. They’re only concerned about politics,” Cruz said. “The reason they’re freaking out is they realize it’s very hard to elect someone as president that the voters know has dementia. That’s a political problem for them.”
“I’ve got to say it’s disturbing, not one Democrat has said ‘Why is he serving right now, today as Commander-in-Chief?’ You know, you look at the White House press briefing where Karine Jean-Pierre was asked, okay, so he’s only available for a few hours in the afternoon, what happens if a nuclear weapon is launched in America at 11:00 at night? And the White House’s answer was, well, he has a team that can deal with that,” the senator continued. “You know what? It is the president’s job to deal with that. It’s the Commander-in-Chief’s job to deal with that, and not a single Democrat has said he’s so diminished he doesn’t just need to not be on the ballot, he needs to step down, or they need to exercise the 25th amendment and remove him.”
