'Powerful Democrats' pushed President Biden out in 'coup': NYT columnist
Fox News
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called President Biden's ouster a "coup" orchestrated by powerful Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.
The president announced he would be dropping out of the race for the White House at the end of July, following weeks of pressure from top Democrats, who had reportedly called on him to bow out in private. Top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer and more have repeatedly denied they were involved in a "coup" to push Biden out.
"At some point, when the polls cratered, Democratic mandarins decided to put the welfare of the party — and the country — ahead of the president’s ego, and stop catering to his self-regarding fantasy that he was the only one who could beat Donald Trump," Dowd continued.
