- "We're in a phase now where it's not a matter of if Biden steps aside, but when."
Obama's public loss of faith in his former VP has dealt the "hammer blow" to Biden's candidacy and now he must step aside, says professor of US Scott Lucas.

I don't see Kamala beating Trump, sadly. Biden's chances would be better in spite of his handicap. But since the Democrats, his allies, dragged him through the mud the past three weeks, what remained of his image has been destroyed and it's a moot point whether he stays or leaves.
Sadly? Are you nuts?😂
Kremlin bots right on schedule. 👍
Democratic Party=You go into a restaurant and they give you a menu but they say you can only order margherita pizza with anchovies.
Love and respect Biden for his years of service, his intellect, compassion, humour and achievements.....and for standing down. Fighting Fascism requires energy.
I am how could you Biden was loyal to you!
And he’s gone!
Start at 00:23 to skip the dreadful “headline” spoilers that are now commonplace on this channel.
Commonplace on many channels, including farming, cooking and gardening. They want to grab your attention with a bite of the interesting stuff before you move on.
@@AnotherPointOfView944it ruins the whole video
Agreed. We don't need to hear it twice
I prefer to here about facts and not about anti-Trump OPINIONS 👎🏻
The Times newspapers used to be far better than this and more objective in their reporting, but that was a very long time ago.
He is talking about facts. What "opinion" are you referring to? I'll go find the fact for you, as you can't do it for yourself.
Of course, as a Trumper, you can't even spell hear.
@@mfoco1 ---- here is a falsehood: Trump is not a danger to democracy - that is paraded around by the media as "fact" - total and complete falsehood. But you will still believe what you want --- Delicious, to watch biden implode, on his watch in the executive wing AND elected dems in the legislative branch ---- Dems did all of this TO THEMSELVES: "RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!!!"
@@mfoco1how is trump a threat to democracy? People who think there will be no 2028 elections are delusional and trying to stir up fear .
Newsflash.He just has !! Joe has stepped down from the election race !!
Is Obama president? I thought it was supposed to be Joe. If Joe is president then he can always say no to Obama.
Being President has nothing to do with it. Although you raise a good point, perhaps questions do need to be raised about the 25th Amendment.
You are right.
Poetic justice.
completely absurd to skip out on Joe at this stage. Kamela will is without any chances. She's the worst politician I've ever heard
Why?
@@timonsolusshe's an idiot
I supported Obama but he will never dictate where, when or who I vote for...troll post
He's just stepped down!!
Totally correct Scott Lucas
Martin Sheen should step a side
Even a not fully informed person like me ,this could be a very scary outcome, because the United States of America 🇺🇲and my country the UK 🇬🇧 have to fight for freedom and democracy 😮
brain-washed by fear media
It is a shortage of talent, and what actual threat, explicitly, as opposed to feeling and emotion?
I would like to dedicate a song to Biden's campaign managers. It's called "Ship of Fools" by World Party.
Great song
OBAMA doesn't get to vote for me.
I wish Obama would sit down
As an American, I really wish times radio would find a neutral commentator to talk about our politics instead of a democratic advocate like this. He makes no attempt to hide his bias of how he’s all pro Biden anti-Trump. A single neutral party who can talk about both sides versus bringing another guest in or they’ll just yell at each other over their talking points would be a valuable adjustment to the program. People like this are pathologically, incapable of saying anything neutrals about either Trump or Biden.
When do you stop with those intros. The hook 🪝 right. I don't need a hook. The subject of the video 📹 is enough to get me to come in. Video 📹 radio 📻 do you get confused? Different subject.
Love you Joe the best President in my life time.💙
Wow! What about tge Biden lies!
Barack is getting his hands ready for his new mulpet
His problem is there's no puppet that can beat Trump.. if Kamala Harris beats trump its totally rigged

Biden must be replaced on the ticket, that's for sure. But if it's Kamala, the big question would be whether she is seen as complicit in Biden's unconscionable policy of military support for Israel, as they are committing a genocide in Gaza?
Biden has lost the Arab American vote, and much of the progressive young vote on that issue, and Kamala would have to win them back.
Thus the selection of a vice presidential candidate becomes crucial - it shouldn't be someone who has been hawkish on supporting Israel. It should be someone who has at least given mild criticism of Israel's actions.
If it also has to be someone white and male, to calm down voters who see race and sex to be an issue still, the pickings are slim. Mark Kelly, maybe?
Arab American vote doesn't matter, it's his brainwashed liberal gen z vote he should be worried about cause they've thrown their lot in with the newest victim Olympics. Trumps definitely winning unless the world ends before November
With friends like Scott.
Damn… Biden dropped out
Wonder how much Hunter and Jill were given for Joe to step down.
Getting Islam out of the west is paramount
I disagree about time. Because at this stage it's about the America you know VS ideology running the country. It does not matter who is president, it's about Fascists or the America we love.
There's that F word again.
Yes I agree Democrats are fascist.
Correct clap 👏 that’s why we need Trump 🇺🇸
@@peterquibell9773 yes I agree the Democrats are fascist.
No It's about communist or the America we love
Let’s hope he will stand aside and let Kamala take his place!
kamala the wrestler?
😂
Obamas? A multimillion dollar house in the hamptons, and Martha Stewart vineyard. As for you, you can eat cake. Long live the empire.
good courage,God Bless you.
Ah, the Pandora's Box moment.
Stop using the word threat. Please. It’s destroying the country.
This commentator will help the Democrats resoundingly lose the election in November.
No, he is not trying to get Biden to stay. Biden must step aside if DNC are to have any chance of even keeping numbers in Congress, let alone the WH. Yes, the correct word is he MUST. If he does not, his legacy wil be destroyed.
I think people forget what the people want. BIDEN
Why interview someone who is invested in the Democrats rather someone who is more neutral?
That would be a great idea.
Like whom?
Not are all like Biden. The only difference is they are younger version
A second term, Trump is giving that black man live altering palpitations
Biden to Obama E tu Brute?
JAKE SULLIVAN FOR PRESIDENT !!! ☆☆☆☆☆
Obama has done exactly what he did at the start of this and held back until he was happy Biden was up for the job and has continued that honesty with this phase of unplanned changes holding back from endorsing Kamala until he feels she is the right candidate.
I blame Biden and those around him for this mess. He never should have run for a second term.
Run Buttigieg he will win
lol
He couldn't even win the last primary
@@tonyatthebeach What Primary. The DNC Primary wasn't even a real race. Neither was the Republican one
@@tonyatthebeach what Primary. It was basically an appointment
@@tonyatthebeach Why won't TH-cam let me answer that?
Kamala would bring ENERGY and EXCITEMENT to Americans. And so much more. We need to move on this now. Or Trump WILL win guys. We NEED Independents... we NEED Centrists.
she's a joke!! all she does is laugh and giggle when asked about the border. its a nervous tic and she has no idea what to do. she was put in because she is black and a female. only to pull votes...the DEMONCRAT WAY
@@JayJayAbels "energy & excitement"???
How about some 'intelligence' for starters?
Kamala is a disaster. She comes across as fake and very Californian to people from the middle of the country who decide the election. Biden is more electable than Kamala since the presidency is largely decided by a bunch of Catholic boomers who live near Milwaukee.
Only if Biden resigns as well, makes her incumbent and less inclined to controversy. Polls are unreliable, especially months before the election.
If Biden drops out but doesn't resign it might just help the Republicans. So either keep him in and the media knocks it off with the self-sabotage, or he drops out but gives Kamala the presidency as of now until the election.
You've got to be kidding! When she dropped out of 2020 election, she was polling around 3%. She is so unlikeable & unelectable
❤❤ PRESIDENT TRUMP❤❤
also its the donors of the DNC which do not like Biden to run for a 2nd term seeing how he performed in the debate. so the donors are influending the Demo party leadership to go vs. Biden.
Better than the republicans who are on steroids of donors.
It's why Washington D C is known as "Donar Occupied Domain". Interesting that neither the supporters for either the Democrats or Republicans can see what's seriously wrong with this.
Biden is a lost cause, and they don't like wasting money.
@@mr.mayhem7402 well DC has long been known for its donors and lobbyists. Its practically legalized corruption. been like that for decades. since the 70s.
Scott Lucas sounds like actor Nicholas Cage
It’s like Count Dooku and Palpatine. Something straight out of Star Wars. 😂
If Trump wins, then he passes away. That makes JD Vance our dictator for the rest of his life think about that.
And the Supreme Court will make him king.
That's ridiculous. The same was said about Trump.
@@audience2 Are you totally ignorant about what Project 2025 is? Millions of Americans will have their freedoms stripped away and Trump/Vance will have removed EVERY check and balance to stop them being dictators, filling the SCOTUS and FBI with MAGA loyalists.
That’s a great script for a series. Although, I can’t deny I thought something similar.
This is complete conspiratorial nonsense, do you really believe that? I think it’s time maybe you put the phone down and go outside.
People, please use caution if somebody is stating this kind of talk from Professor Scott Lucas: "SOURCES SAY "! Mom explained never take hearsay from someone about yourself.
His sources were 100% spot on. So…
You are so correct.
No love lost between Obama and Biden.
DRAFT FETTERMAN!!!!!!
Gavin Gruesome.
This man is so deluded
How can Joel get someone ready to take his place when he don’t know what the heck he’s doing his next position will be greeter to cemetery
Guys a clown 🤡
BIDEN needs to put his ego away (which the vast majority of all politicians have oooodles of) and work like any sane person on getting TrampTrump defeated.
I don't see any one but biden Able to win best to stay the course
Of course you don't. MSM don't want you looking at things like his approval rating. Biden cannot win. Others do have a chance to win, but Biden does not.
Lol no one can win against Trump unless he has another way of winning without being voted for.
I do not understand WHY everyone is turning on Biden??? Stop it!!!!!
Lol this guy might as well add democratic operative to his title
J P Mandel for president God help us
LOL Biden's not going anywhere.

Disappointed to see the Democratic party behaving like chickens seeing a spot of blood on their leader
No, it's a tough game and one of the most important jobs for the world. Biden appears frail , incompetent and is going to get worse.
Ha ha only cos you're Republican and Trump is a shoe in with Biden as the opponent.
@@bsastarfire250 agreed,but it's late in the game for this discord.

Oh my gosh no. Newsome has ruined Cali. He’s 20 years into his 10 year promise to end homelessness, but homelessness has over doubled 😅 And hospitals across the country are closing because they’re going bankrupt. Up to 20% of hospitals are shutting down and leaving rural areas without hospitals.
Businesses and Californians are fleeing California. He would just turn the US into a giant California.
"Healthcare in the United States is largely provided by private sector healthcare facilities, and paid for by a combination of public programs, private insurance, and out-of-pocket payments. The U.S. is the only developed country without a system of universal healthcare, and a significant proportion of its population lacks health insurance." - Wiki
@@porecemusnox8805 we’ve been taught since grade school not to cite Wiki, first of all. Anyone can find opposing quotes too. The reason Cali is going under in debt and bankruptcy whereas many other states aren’t is bc it’s most closely resembling a socialized economy and the hospitals keep requesting more state support because they aren’t getting paid enough by all the state funded medical coverage and the already over taxed and struggling tax payers can’t supply what the hospitals are asking for. It’s also part of its homeless problem. Cali’s infrastructure is also so far beyond its expiration date and they can’t afford to update it. Universal anything is not practical. The government cant tax its way out of debt and homelessness and healthcare crises.
@@its_just_me_acb Instead, some people aim to criminalize homelessness ... that won't adress problems, either.
And other western countries demonstrate how universal healthcare works quite well.
For pointing out that healthcare is mostly privatized and not a product of state policy ... wikipedia is sufficient, my friend - or do you want to dispute that little detail?
@@porecemusnox8805 Criminalizing homelessness is just a nonsense change of subject and no universal healthcare isn’t isn’t working everywhere. It works best for the people who don’t need specialists and only need the basics. Taking over 50% of paychecks to pay for others, some of whom are less responsible bc they know they’ll get free stuff, is criminal. I should have to live without owning a home just so I can pay for my drug addict sibling’s food stamps so she can sell half of them anyway. Many Canadians come to America for healthcare bc they can’t wait for a year to get into a specialist and because they want the right to choose their docs. Many women don’t get to choose their obgyn. That’s insane. I saw clinics closed down all over Paris. Service hours are limited for urgent care. Greece is bankrupt and now needs people to work more hours/days a week. Quality of services and products are always sacrificed when it’s made “free”, but really paid for by others. The successful stories like Sweden and Denmark have already made it clear that they are NOT socialized economies, those were tried and failed miserably about 50 years ago. Plus you can’t trust the government to responsibly take and spend our money. Billions of spending has been misappropriated and is now unaccounted for. Anytime the government wants more money, it’s not for tax payer benefit.
Jesus. And there was me thinkin' the _Chemtrails_ people were nutty. Practically everything this guy says, sounds like the twisted misinterpretations of someone on a psychiatric ward.
like what, specifically?
You sound like someone on the mainstream media, psych ward, completely deprived of truth and wisdom 🙄
They have to get rid of the President and the Vice President. This is going to be great theatre.
It is quite something to behold.

Such garbage
Difficult for Trump to lose. What a joke.
apparently he did....
Trump 2024 🇺🇸
*A charismatic, witty humourous ordinary type of guy is needed to show how just out of touch Trump is. Americans are into a popularity contest.*
Someone is for sure out of touch, and it's you.
There aren't any young Obamas laying around.
Kamala and Shapiro would be the best ticket at this time. Get the swing states and it is just too little time for anyone other than Kamala at the top of the ticket.
Why would he stand with a VP who, 1: did horribly in her own run for the presidential nomination, 2: is the least well perceived VP in a generation, 3: has made a mess of the one job that she was put in charge of, the border. All good candidates will sit out this one, and run in 28.
Why are Democrats backstabbing Biden. Biden was like this 4years ago what's the difference ?
And she can't get black votes at all
Kamala has the unlikable personality of Hillary with the intelligence of George W. Bush. She couldn't beat Tulsi Gabbard in the democratic primary debates. Trump would eat her alive. She has no shot. Their best bet to win is to back Kennedy.
Don't give up Joe. You can do it.
No, he cannot.
No. No he can't and that's obvious to anyone with eyes and ears.
Biden must go ASAP.
He just did 20 minutes ago
Unemployment rate is 6.7% in 2020 under Trump BUT by Feb 2023, it's 3.4% under Biden in a 54 yrs. historic low.
..and they want to replace him with someone who has nothing to show to the American people except saliva (promises)
Well if people choose Trump and Trump does not pull up his socks, the numbers will increase again and people will understand in 2028 and choose better. Don’t worry, country has to correct itself again and again and it again will.

Get someone new. Not Biden, not Harris. New blood.
someone with nothing to show to the American people except saliva (promises)? Compare that to an incumbent with a good record.
I am disappointed with Barack Obama. After all he made a big mistake in promoting Hillary Clinton who did not win that election whereas I feel Joe Biden would have beaten Trump then and we would not be having all this disturbing situation now. Joe is the best.
Biden's son had just passed, he hadn't announced candidacy yet, Clinton had a 30 point lead, and Trump was on the March. You forget to mention all that.
Joe can't think
Give Saunders a chance
Shoulda coulda woulda.
The fact of the matter is the democratic party would have consolidated around Clinton regardless and Biden would have lost another nomination. Burnie would have beat out Biden to the final 2 as well. The 2016 democratic primary was purely a coronation for Hillary.
The push from inside the democratic party to push out Biden is actually a very good sign.
Traditionally, one of the worst aspects of the democratic party is on an institutional level they look down at their own voters and it has always felt like they view them as an inconvenience they had to navigate to get power and then they can ignore them again for another few years.
Whilst a lot of this is currently motivated by self interest as a lot of their elected officials realise with Biden on the ticket they lose their seat, if successful this may be one of the most popular decisions with the wider democratic voter base the party has made in a very very long time.
... was the best. Age is hitting all of us, at some point. A candidate should be selected by future potential, not by past achievements.
