It&rsquo;s why Democrats launched a blitz campaign against the incumbent demanding he step down. They knew the chance of Biden beating Trump was shrinking, so they had to do what needed to be done to maintain control of the executive branch.<\/p>\n<p>But for the same reasons that Biden is unable to be the nominee, he is also unable to be the president.

Removing Biden as the nominee becomes a justifiable usurpation of primary voters&rsquo; will when Democrats also remove Biden as the president. But if Democrats aren&rsquo;t willing to invoke the 25th Amendment, or get Biden to step down, then their justification is simply a flex of their political muscle: &ldquo;We can do whatever we want.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>And if Democrats can so easily ice out their own candidate, what else are they capable of?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f3fad5dc4d785e72d47c066cbcb2d874 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f3fad5dc4d785e72d47c066cbcb2d874\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
