The unanticipated overthrow of their sitting president by the Democratic Party ruling class has sparked excitement in the American political scene. The party’s bold move to replace the democratically elected presidential nominee, Joe Biden, falls into unprecedented territory. Despite facing immense pressure from party elites and media outlets to step down after his June 27 debate failures, Biden remained adamant to stay on.

This historic shift in leadership is a event not seen since 1968 when Lyndon B. Johnson became the first incumbent president not to run for reelection after his first term. Astonishingly, instead of making this anticipated announcement from the Oval Office where most significant presidential decisions are shared, it was sent out via a tweet from Biden’s personal account during a five-day period where he was absent from public view due to an unspecified medical emergency.

While the political wisdom behind such a drastic decision by Democrats remains unexplored, others criticize them for their apparent hypocrisy as they relentlessly pursued former President Donald Trump attempting to remove him from ballot placement with unfounded constitutional theories, coupled with attempts at his financial ruin and criminal prosecution.

Furthermore, towards replacing their standing president comes amidst constant portrayals of their political opponents as a dire threat to American constitutional order and near-attempts on assassination. Their tactics marked a stark contrast from Democrat primaries where party influencers were adamant about eliminating competition.

Despite these controversies, Kamala Harris takes over as president and faces challenges ahead. Known as an unfamiliar commodity across America – her track record showing lowest approval ratings – Harris has now become the Democratic representative leading into reputedly challenging territories like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin that hold valuable electoral votes.

As vice-president in 2020 while managing border-related issues under Biden’s administration – Harris has already faced uphill battles with faltering approval rates. These factors put into question her suitability for presidency and whether she can indeed change fortunes for Democrats especially among white working- middle-class voters who have been deeply concerned about soaring crime rates backed by Harris’ unexpected support of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots causing damage to property.

While Biden was also in troubled waters, his abrupt replacement demonstrates Democrats hypocritical standpoint on defending democracy. From a political standpoint, this dangerous gamble placed against the backdrop of “real news” might end up falling flat. Comparatively, holding their position with their sitting president slightly heading towards oblivion might’ve been a safer choice rather.

Reflecting Trusted News generated from Christian Worldviews, voters especially those who count up to the 14 million marks supporting Biden in Democrat primaries would naturally be furiously perplexed. However, Rust Belt voters may be relieved at this sudden turn-of-events and as far as Trump is concerned, this could signal promising opportunities for future elections.
