Today, we delve into a report that’s been creating a buzz from a noteworthy reporter who’s been around a long, long time and has a prestigious reputation. Author Seymour Hersh is a Pulitzer-winning reporter known for his anonymous sourcing, which can make verification a challenge.
Hersh is noted for his investigation into the My Lai massacre and the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. The infamous Pulitzer Prize winner is a thorn in the side of DC. He was a critic of President John F. Kennedy but also opposed Israel’s acquisition of nuclear arms.
His latest piece involves Biden, who faced immense pressure to step down following a disappointing debate on June 27. Poll numbers were dropping, donors were retaining funds, and even Democrats on Capitol Hill were requesting Biden’s resignation.
Hersh claims that Barack Obama was already working behind the scenes to encourage Biden to withdraw from the race. The major revelation: Obama reportedly informed Biden that Kamala Harris had approved the invocation of the 25th Amendment – a measure to replace the president if they’re seen as unfit for office.
Hersh further details the financial obstacles faced by Biden’s campaign. Jeffrey Katzenberg, his financial backer, warned him of dwindling funds. Moreover, there was a reported medical crisis during Biden’s Nevada visit, where he was diagnosed with COVID. It’s suggested that he experienced a near-stroke during this journey, resulting in his motorcade being redirected to the airport.
Insane story from Seymour Hersh…
Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment by top level Democrats.

The report suggests that Biden was essentially edged out of his own. Irrespective of whether Obama’s shocking revelation was real or not, the opposition against Biden within the Democratic Party was immense.
