The host of “The Daily Show” riffed Monday night about the possibility of an 11th-hour effort to oust the incumbent president as the party’s nominee.
Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump, left, and President Joe Biden, right, speak simultaneously during a presidential debate hosted by CNN, Thursday, June 27, 2024, in Atlanta.
“I am in no way saying Biden’s got to drop out. But can’t we stress test this candidacy? Can’t we open up the conversation? Do you understand the opportunity here? Do you have any idea how thirsty Americans are for any hint of inspiration or leadership and a release from this choice of a megalomaniac and a suffocating gerontocracy? It is crushing our f---- spirits. Do you have any idea what could be ahead of you? All we want is for someone to keep it 100 — the percentage, not the age.
“So feel free to ignore any obvious weaknesses in your team’s existential fight for freedom and democracy, and then just white-knuckle this thing till November, or take the advice of your own candidate.” Challenges to the presumptive nominee can occur, but there are significant hurdles. The path to picking a new standard-bearer would be clearer if Biden were to step aside voluntarily, which he’s given no indication that he’s considering.
