Chuck Schumer has been in the middle of every fight in Washington this century.
But even this was too much for Schumer to bear.
And Chuck Schumer began weeping over what happened in one private meeting.
The tale of how Democrats forced Joe Biden out of the race
The roles Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Barack Obama played in the coup that forced Joe Biden out of the 2024 Presidential race are well-known.
Little is known about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) behind-the-scenes machinations to stab Biden in the back.
The New York Times revealed that Schumer played a far more integral role in bouncing Biden than was previously known.
The Senate’s then-Majority Leader met with Biden on July 13 – hours before an assassin shot Donald Trump in the head – and told Biden that history would remember him as a villain if he stayed in the race and Trump ended up winning.
“If you run and you lose to Trump, and we lose the Senate, and we don’t get back the House, that 50 years of amazing, beautiful work goes out the window,” Schumer told Biden. “But worse — you go down in American history as one of the darkest figures.”
Schumer bluntly told Biden to drop out of the race.
“If I were you,” Schumer added, “I wouldn’t run, and I’m urging you not to run.”
The Times also revealed that Schumer was one of the original conspirators hiding Joe Biden’s senility from the public as he was long aware of Biden’s cognitive decline before the June 27 debate where Biden showed the world he was mentally enfeebled.
“Long before the president’s disastrous debate performance, Mr. Schumer had privately concluded that the barrier of Mr. Biden’s age was too much for him to overcome,” the Times added.
Yet Schumer told donors and elected Democrats breaking out in a panic over Biden’s performance not to go public as that would only encourage Biden to dig in deeper to remain in the race.
“Do not be public,” Schumer warned. “That will get his back up, and you’ve got to let the dust settle. But if you can, call whoever you know in the campaign. Call the White House.”
Schumer told Biden the only way he could save his campaign was to hold a series of unscripted events where he proved he could answer questions not provided in advance.
“Mr. President,” Schumer continued, “the only way you’re going to save this is to show up day in and day out, with unscripted town halls. And people will be able to smell if it’s spontaneous, and it will show that this was a one-off.”
Schumer then grumbled that Biden’s team plan amounted to one press conference at the NATO anniversary celebration.
“That’s not even close to good enough,” Schumer lamented.
In the meeting with Biden, Schumer told Biden that he spoke to Biden’s pollsters and even his own number crunchers and Schumer said, based on the campaign’s own polling, he estimated Biden had just a “5 percent” chance of winning.
That stunned Biden who told Schumer he needed a week to mull over his decision, and the two parted company.
And that’s when Schumer broke down in tears.
“The two embraced as Mr. Schumer headed back to his car, where he broke down in tears as he recounted the meeting to his aides,” the Times exclusively reported.
