Ted Cruz reiterates his projection that Michelle Obama will succeed Joe Biden as the vice president of the United States in the fight for the presidency in 2024.
During an appearance on Fox Business on Thursday, July 11, Cruz, who is 53 years old, offered his opinion on whether or not Biden, who is 81 years old, will withdraw from the race due to his performance in the debate on June 27.
“So to Ted Cruz, Republican from the great state of Texas joins us now. Mr. Senator, is Biden going to bow out gracefully or is he going to be forced out?” anchor Stuart Varney asked the senator.
“Stuart I think he’s going to be forced out. I put the odds of Biden not being on the ballot in November at about 80 percent. I think the Democratic Party is freaking out right now. I think you’re seeing senators, you’re seeing House members, you’re seeing the New York Times, you’re seeing NBC News, you’re seeing George Clooney in Hollywood. And it’s worth noting why they’re freaking out. Listen, they’ve all known for six months, for a year, for longer that Biden’s mental capacity was severely diminished, that he was not up to doing the job. But they’re not worried about having a commander-in-chief who’s not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities. The only reason they’re panicking is because they now realize the American people have seen that, and they’re terrified that he’s going to lose in November,” Cruz responded.
"And so now they’re willing to dump him. I put the odds at about 80 percent. They dump him. And if and when they dump him, I think their replacement nominee will be one of two people. It will either be Michelle Obama or it will be Kamala Harris. And I actually predicted ten months ago on my podcast, 'Verdict with Ted Cruz,' ten months ago, I predicted they were going to push Joe Biden out and replace him with Michelle Obama. That may still prove to be the case," the senator went on.
According to a prior report by OK! Magazine, Cruz stated in September that Biden would not be in the White House. This statement was made even before the revelations regarding his mental capacity were made public.
"I think the odds are very significant that next summer at the Democrat national convention that the Democrat party will jettison Joe Biden and will throw him off the ticket, and they will parachute in instead, Michelle Obama to be their candidate," Cruz stated at the time.
"I think they’re gonna look to Michelle Obama as the savior to come in. And I think if that happens, that would be very, very dangerous. And every time I see a Democrat or one of their puppets in the press beginning to point out the problems with Joe Biden — every time that happens, the chances of that go up and up and up,” the senator continued.
