A former staff member who worked closely with President Joe Biden has disclosed that individuals within the White House felt it was acceptable to cross democratic boundaries in their efforts to prevent Donald Trump from returning to office.
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream, Axios reporter Alex Thompson shared that insiders within the Biden administration believed they were the ones truly steering the country, often insulated from the president’s direct input or awareness.
“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson explained.
Thompson also recounted that one White House aide confided in him that the primary goal was simply to secure a Biden win — after that, they assumed the president could largely fade from view.
“Just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years,” the aide reportedly said. “He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while,” Thompson quoted the aide as saying. “His aides could pick up the slack.”
The same aide added, “When you’re voting for president, you’re voting for the aides around him.”
This comes as President Biden faces a serious health challenge. He has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, according to an official statement provided to CNN and CBS.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement said.
“On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the update continued. “While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”
