Podcaster Joe Rogan, during a discussion with comedian Andrew Schulz on his podcast, speculated about the Democratic Party’s future plans for President Biden, suggesting that the party may consider replacing him ahead of the next presidential race. Rogan expressed skepticism about the party’s intention to run Biden again, labeling the idea as “bananas” and speculating about potential replacements, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, whom he previously suggested the Democrats might be grooming for a 2024 run.
Rogan predicted a timeline, suggesting that by May, there might be significant moves within the Democratic Party concerning Biden’s candidacy. He hypothesized that health issues could be cited as a reason for Biden stepping down, paving the way for Newsom to step in with Kamala Harris remaining as vice president. Rogan reasoned that as long as Harris stays out of the spotlight, she wouldn’t pose a liability to the party.
The conversation also touched upon the administration’s support for transgender issues, highlighting Biden’s interaction with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney as evidence of the administration’s commitment to these concerns. Rogan and Schulz discussed Biden’s cognitive abilities and his role in the administration, suggesting he serves more as a figurehead than an active decision-maker, making him an ideal target for criticism without bearing the consequences of policy decisions.
This dialogue underscores broader conversations within political and public spheres about the Democratic Party’s strategy and leadership as the next election cycle approaches.
