The Democrats are falling apart.
It’s all been downhill since Joe Biden’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
And a former Governor called out Barack Obama for one stunning move against Biden.
Joe Biden is out.
Democrat Party elites got their wish and successfully coerced Biden out of the 2024 Presidential race.
Biden wrote in an odd statement, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term. I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”
The hastily written statement was not on official letterhead, and Biden’s signature looked different.
Nevertheless, Biden is out, and Vice President Kamala Harris seems to be in.
Democrats and their media allies are quickly falling in line.
Chicago politics at its finest
However, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is not ready to move on.
He believes that Barack Obama’s fingerprints are all over Biden’s ouster.
Blagojevich wrote on social media, “I’ve known Obama since 1995. We both come out of Chicago politics. I know how it works. He’s behind the campaign to dump 15 million Dem primary voters & replace Biden with his choice. Classic Chicago Democrat machine politics. Selection over election. The bosses over the people.”

Fewer people are better positioned to comment on Chicago-style politics, as Blagojevich was convicted of attempting to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat after he was elected President of the United States.
Blagojevich, however, maintained his innocence, and his 14-year prison sentence was commuted by Donald Trump.
Obama curiously did not endorse Harris as the Democrat Party nominee even though the Clintons did.
But that should not be a sign that Obama is not pulling the strings on her behalf behind the scenes.
Obama the puppet master
Obama reportedly was the person who urged Biden to bring on Harris as his running mate in 2020.
During that primary fight, Harris accused Biden of being both a racist and a rapist, then giddily ticketed up with him.
That selection likely would not have happened without Obama’s influence.
Blagojevich is not the first to speculate that Obama’s fingerprints are all over the metaphorical knife in Biden’s back.
Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough said on his show, “One thing that we do have to underline here — just so viewers can follow what’s going on behind the scenes — is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this.”
That belief was buttressed by the fact that Hollywood superstar George Clooney, a close ally of the Obamas, penned an op-ed in The New York Times calling for Biden to step aside.
Clooney purportedly ran the op-ed by Obama, who did not discourage him from publishing it.
