According to reports, the Democratic Party is preparing to offer Joe Biden an ultimatum: drop out of the race or face the consequences. The growing calls for Biden's resignation come as his candidacy is facing scrutiny and his legacy is at stake.
Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and the Democratic Party leadership are reportedly considering a plan to force Joe Biden out of the presidential race. The move comes as Biden's campaign struggles and his presidency is marred by political and legal challenges.
Sources close to Biden have expressed frustration over the increasing pressure he is facing to step down. The Democratic Party bosses are said to be employing a three-step process to end Biden's political career: asking him to leave, telling him to leave, and finally threatening to destroy his legacy if he does not comply.

Biden initially resisted the party's demands, but the threats have escalated. The editorial boards of The New York Times and Chicago Tribune have called for Biden to drop out, and Attorney General Merrick Garland could potentially release a damaging interview tape featuring Biden.
The release of the interview tape would be particularly damaging to Biden, as it could humiliate him and undermine his credibility. Additionally, Attorney General Garland could change his mind and launch an investigation into Biden's son, Hunter, who is facing allegations of wrongdoing.

Finally, the Democratic Party could invoke the 25th amendment to remove Biden from office, citing his declining mental health. This would leave Biden as the only president in history to be removed from office for such reasons.
While the Democrats have a number of options to force Biden out, he has the potential to fight back. If he chooses not to endorse Kamala Harris, the Democrats could face a contested convention headache. Additionally, Biden could turn state's evidence and expose the secrets of the Democratic Party, effectively damaging the party's reputation.

The next few days will be crucial as Biden's enemies reveal themselves. If he hangs on, the race could be thrown into turmoil just months before the finish line. However, if he caves to the pressure, the Democrats will have a clear path to the presidency and the Biden legacy will be forever tarnished.
The decision ultimately rests with Joe Biden. Will he leave the presidency and take the cannolis? Or will he fight to the end, potentially burning down the party that is trying to throw him under the bus? The outcome could shape the political landscape for years to come.
