In a recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) panel discussion led by Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle, the topic of potential Democrat alternatives to President Biden took center stage. The panel, which featured prominent conservatives like podcaster Monica Crowley, radio host Larry O’Connor, and senior columnist of Townhall.com Kurt Schlichter, delved into the possibility of the Democrats sidelining Biden in favor of figures such as Michelle Obama or Vice President Kamala Harris.
Boyle didn’t pull any punches when he made a bold statement about Biden’s fitness for office, asserting that the president “belongs in a memory care institution, not the Oval Office,” while highlighting a Special Counsel report as evidence to support this claim. The panelists engaged in a lively discussion about the feasibility of the Democrats shifting their support to alternative figures.
