Podcast host Joe Rogan speculated with comedian Andrew Schulz about the Democratic Party potentially replacing President Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate.
Rogan thought they may keep Biden due to lacking other options, but felt his health issues would require replacing him by May 2023.
“The idea that they’re going to keep running him is just bananas. You’re going to keep him in there? I can’t believe that’s real, but as time goes on I’m starting to think they might actually keep running him,” Rogan said.
“I don’t know why that they would switch him out, they’re not in a position they can switch him out for anybody. Who steps in?” Schulz said.
“He would have to kick the bucket,” Rogan said.
“May. I think [Biden]’s got until May,” Rogan later said. “I feel like right around May they’re going to pull him.”
Schulz suggested California Gov. Gavin Newsom could replace Biden with Kamala Harris remaining as vice president.
Rogan agreed this was likely the Democrats’ plan, keeping Harris quiet in the role for now rather than seeing her as a liability.
“And Newsom comes in,” Schulz said.
Rogan said, “I think he just has health problems and then the country understands, and Newsom is gonna have his support fully and Kamala is gonna be like ‘I don’t even want to be president, I’m cool with being vice president.’”
“So Newsom runs with Kamala?” Schulz asked.
“Yeah, I think so” Rogan said, “I don’t think they can pull Kamala.”
Earlier, they expressed skepticism of Biden’s mental acuity but noted his administration fully embraces transgender issues.
Schulz argued Biden is a “puppet” used to take blame while forgetting things, making him the perfect scapegoat.
“That administration is all in on that stuff in such a hardcore way that he got interviewed by Dylan Mulvaney,” Rogan said.
“I think none of us really believe he’s making the decisions, right?” Schulz asked. “He’s just like a puppet for the- he’s just there to get lambasted when all these things happen, and then he forgets about it immediately afterwards.”
“Yeah, he doesn’t know,” Rogan said. “He’s the perfect guy to blame for things.”
