The Biden administration’s efforts to hide the president’s declining health were far more extensive than previously known. Behind the scenes, Kamala Harris’ team prepared a secret plan to swear her in as president if Biden became unable to serve. This reveals just how serious concerns about his condition really were.
According to a new book, Harris’ communications director created a spreadsheet of Republican-appointed judges who could legitimize her sudden presidency. They feared Trump supporters would challenge her authority if she took over. The list included judges from cities across America, kept ready in case of emergency.
Biden’s team went to great lengths to mask his struggles. Staffers applied heavy makeup to make him look “more alive” during public appearances. Insiders say he often forgot names and details, requiring constant reminders. These efforts hidden from voters showed deep worry about his ability to lead.
The disastrous debate with Donald Trump exposed the truth. Biden’s team had pushed for the event, hoping to prove he was fit. Instead, it backfired spectacularly. His confused performance shocked Democrats and confirmed suspicions they’d tried to bury. The fallout forced his withdrawal from the race.
The DNC knew about Biden’s decline but pressed forward anyway. Party leaders prioritized protecting their power over telling the public the truth. They gambled that voters wouldn’t notice—or care—about Biden’s lapses. This reckless strategy put Harris in position to take over without proper scrutiny.
Harris’ readiness plan raises questions about her own judgment. Preparing to seize power through Republican judges instead of trusted allies suggests awareness of her weak political standing. It also hints at panic within the administration about Biden’s instability.
The cover-up’s scale shows contempt for American voters. By hiding Biden’s condition, Democrats denied citizens the right to choose their leader honestly. The strategy prioritized party control over transparency, undermining trust in government.
This episode proves the dangers of putting politics above people. A small group of elites manipulated the system to cling to power, ignoring obvious risks. The consequences—a last-minute candidate swap and secret succession plans—reveal a party more focused on survival than serving the nation.
