Dems had plan for Biden to 'die in office,' talked about candidate switcheroo in 2023, book claims

Democrats had planned for former President Joe Biden to "die in office" before the election and had staged “hush-hush talks” planning for a then-potential switch out of former President Joe Biden in the election race as early as 2023, according to a new book written by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.

“Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” cites two anonymous sources for the claims, and additionally tells of aides to former Vice President Kamala Harris who “strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office,” per a report from the Guardian.

The question over Biden’s mental fitness as well as age reportedly weighed on a number of staffers around the Vice President. There were even plans, reportedly laid out by Harris’s White House communications director Jamal Simmons, to draw up a “death-pool roster” of federal judges to swear in if Biden met his demise while in office, according to the authors.
