Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy doubled down on his theory that Democrats will swap out President Biden with Michelle Obama on their party\u2019s ticket following the release of the special counsel\u2019s report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The bombshell findings from Special Counsel Robert Hur put a spotlight on Biden\u2019s cognitive abilities, saying he would not bring charges against him in part because a jury would find him to be a \u2018sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory,\u2019 despite the acknowledgment that the classified documents were \u2018willfully\u2019 obtained by Biden both as vice president and as a senator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy, who was outspoken on the campaign trail about the belief that the 81-year-old president will ultimately not be the Democratic nominee, told Fox News Digital the special counsel\u2019s report marks the \u2018convenient path\u2019 for Democrats to nominate the popular former first lady.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The main obstacle stopping the Democratic Party is they have a Kamala Harris problem, which is to say that if they do sideline Biden, the natural person normally that would be the nominee, could be the vice president of that same sitting president. But that vice president is unable, I think, to effectively carry forward that job,\u2019 Ramaswamy said. \u2018She didn\u2019t make it to the Iowa caucus in the year that she ran, right, even and within her own party, let alone an issue with broader popularity in the country.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018If race and gender are your basis for selecting someone for a job, and the identity of your party is tied to that temple of identity politics, then they will risk looking hypocritical if they sideline her after they sideline Biden. And I do think Michelle Obama offers them a convenient path out of that problem, somebody who checks the boxes that they need to have checked per their own ideology, while also selecting an alternative to Biden that they may view as more palatable in a general election . . . it\u2019s looking increasingly like it\u2019s not going to be Biden as the nominee. And I think that it should not be shocking to see someone like Michelle Obama take the role of the nomination,\u2019 Ramaswamy said.<\/p>\n

When asked about Hur\u2019s decision not to bring charges against Biden, Ramaswamy said it signaled Biden\u2019s \u2018willingness\u2019 to eventually step aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I think that coincides within recent months [of] him saying things like, you know, other Democratic nominees could also be successful in the general,\u2019 Ramaswamy said. \u2018So I think that we\u2019re seeing a general trend towards what I predicted . . . which is that they would move Biden out of the way. And I think this is one more step in that direction.\u2019<\/p>\n

Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Biden\u2019s handling of classified documents, revealed that Biden had a \u2018hazy\u2019 memory about when he was previously in office and when his son Beau died, which happened in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u2018In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden\u2019s memory was worse,\u2019 the report states. \u2018He did not remember when he was\u00a0vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (\u2018if it was 2013 \u2014 when did I stop being Vice President?\u2019), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (\u2018in 2009, am I still Vice President?\u2019).\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,\u2019 the report continued. \u2018And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he \u2018had a real difference\u2019 of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.\u2019<\/p>\n

These revelations, in addition to his recent slew of gaffes, continue to fuel concerns among some voters about the advanced age of Biden, the oldest president in U.S. history. His likely 2024 opponent, former President Trump, will turn 78 in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
