Biden Shown the Exit at the Kamala-Crazed DNC

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) just wrapped up, reaching its apex with Kamala Harris accepting the nomination for president before a roaring crowd. Harris spoke about her family, the need to “move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past,” and expectedly attacked Donald Trump.

There was little talk of policy, as to date Harris has yet to release her policy platform, with just around two months until Election Day.

One day prior, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accepted the vice-presidential nomination. While leaning into his Midwest charm and sharing a touching moment with his family, he launched attacks on Republican opponents, repeating claims that were dubious or even outright false.

For instance, Walz asserted that Donald Trump would “ban abortion across this country — with or without Congress,” despite Trump claiming the opposite. He said Republicans were looking to ban in vitro fertilization (IVF), although the GOP platform specifically endorses the treatment. Walz also claimed he won his 2006 congressional race in a “deep red district,” though it was only rated R+1 at the time.

The convention featured America’s glitterati as well, including the Obamas, the Clintons, Oprah Winfrey, and actors and musicians from Stevie Wonder to Mindy Kaling.

Convention headliners expressed huge enthusiasm for their new nominee and energized the crowd against Republicans. But an underlying tension cut through the atmosphere. Just outside the arena, thousands of anti-Israel protesters clashed with police, burned American flags, and disrupted DNC events.

Dozens were arrested in the anti-Israel protests. More than 100 non-governmental organizations were reportedly the driving force behind the protests, many of which participated in “antisemitic and pro-terror events,” including protests on US college campuses, according to watchdog group NGO Monitor.

The turmoil within the DNC goes beyond just the pro-Palestine movement; the most significant outcome of the event was the blatant sidelining of the sitting president. Beneath calls for unity in support of Harris lies the harsh reality that the Democrat Party successfully toppled President Joe Biden’s political career, as it celebrates his coming departure.

Ever since Biden's debate performance spotlighted concerns about his mental fitness to average Americans, the Democrat Party and the media launched a relentless campaign to oust him.

Kamala Harris' ascent as the party's chosen nominee tightened the presidential race, turning what was once a strong lead for Trump into a coin-flip election.

Because Democrats now have a fighting chance, their enthusiasm poured over at the convention. In fact, the party was so eager to distance itself from Biden that he was marginalized — relegated to a late speaking slot on the convention's first day — with his speech extending well past midnight EST to keep him out of the spotlight. Even left-leaning pollster Nate Silver pointed out, “You've gotta be pretty naive to think the prolonged DNC tonight is for any reason other than diminishing Biden’s visibility.”

A Biden aide also said, “He literally set up a campaign and handed it over to them — do they have to cut him out of prime time?"

The president delivered his usual criticisms of Trump and Republicans, emphasized the importance of saving democracy, and highlighted policies he implemented during his presidency. He further repeated several worn-out lies about Donald Trump, including the falsehood that he claimed neo-Nazis were “very fine people.”

In what will likely be one of President Biden’s final major addresses, he was thanked by Democrat voters and the media, and was promptly sent off.

Biden’s denouement coincides with the House Oversight Committee's release of a scathing report, accusing him and his family of serious financial corruption, in having amassed tens of millions of dollars from foreign entities and Democrat benefactors.

After years of Republicans exposing Joe and Hunter Biden’s corruption, Democrats are now in the clear of any potential fallout from the political implications of these matters. With Harris at the helm, the party can safely usher Biden out and start anew.

After Biden’s address, a series of speakers highlighted deep divisions and contradictions in the Democrat Party.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the godfather of the modern progressive movement, railed against the “billionaire class” during his speaking slot and proclaimed that the party should not be bought and paid for by the rich.

Immediately following Sanders, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (net worth $3.5 billion) addressed the crowd. While Sanders has been consistently marginalized by the Democrat Party — most notably during the 2016 primary when he ran a close race against Hillary Clinton — Pritzker has long been considered a viable presidential nominee by Democrat higher-ups.

Michelle Obama also generated huge enthusiasm at the convention. In her speech, she delivered impassioned remarks about her mother and how she taught Michelle lessons on “the meaning of hard work and humility and decency.” She remarked that her parents did not aspire to be wealthy but "were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.”

Meanwhile, the Obamas own several homes, including one on Martha’s Vineyard, which they bought for nearly $12 million. Michelle Obama wore a $3,000 pantsuit to the convention and was reportedly paid $740,000 for her recent speech in Germany on the “importance of inclusivity and diversity.”

Further, Newsnation’s Chris Cuomo exposed the enormous financial powers at play in the DNC, despite many in the party (like Sen. Sanders) calling out the destructive nature of big money in politics. Suites at the DNC, many of which are purchased by corporate interests, start at half a million dollars and go up to $5 million.

The Democrat Party is relying heavily on newfound enthusiasm for Harris to carry them through November. As Harris is currently in a dead heat with Trump in most swing states, she cannot afford for the present wave of excitement to dwindle — or for party divisions to become too troublesome.

A significant blow to the Harris campaign would be RFK Jr. dropping out of the race to endorse former President Trump — reportedly an imminent move, according to ABC News. Although Kennedy is declining in the polls, even one or two percent more voters moving to Trump’s camp could tip the election.

Now that Biden was escorted off the political scene by his own party, it is up to voters to translate the excitement seen at the DNC for Kamala Harris into votes. Harris still has to face Trump in a debate where, as was just seen with Biden, anything can happen.
