Journalist Bret Baier reveals 'explosive rumors' leading to Joe Biden's reelection bid exit
WASHINGTON DC: Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier has revealed rumors that allegedly forced President Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential race.
Despite being adamant about running for reelection, Bret noted he is also about to reveal the "epiphany" that led to his decision.
Bret Baier mentions Nancy Pelosi's influence and Barack Obama's pressure to oust Joe Biden
Bret Baier mentioned that these "potentially explosive rumors" include former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi "threatening to release polling that undermined Joe Biden's case for staying in the race," as reported by the Daily Mail.
Additionally, Baier stated that former president Barack Obama was reportedly exerting influence behind the scenes to push Biden off the political stage.
Baier, the anchor and executive editor of 'Special Report with Bret Baier', addressed Democratic critics who sought to undermine his reporting on Biden's record of disturbing public incidents.
"There was clearly an effort to prevent some of what they knew [about Biden's health] from getting out," Baier told the publication.
"We're going to find out that there's a lot more to this... What got [Biden] from adamant that he will be the nominee to writing a letter that he was going to step down? What was that? What epiphany happened?" he added.
Kamala Harris's increasing influence in the White House and co-presidency
Bret Baier also questioned who is truly in charge in the White House as Joe Biden seemingly hands over more influence and power to his Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Now that you're going to have Kamala Harris meeting separately with foreign leaders, like we saw with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu [last week] and having her own press conferences," Baier said.
"We have a situation where President Biden may fade from the spotlight and there could be, in essence, a co-presidency," he stated.
Bret Baier believes White House owes him an apology over Joe Biden's health reports
In the days and weeks before Joe Biden appeared frail and confused on a debate stage with Donald Trump, Bret Baier and his colleagues were accused of spreading manipulated videos or 'cheap fakes' of the president.
"This wasn't a video that we were editing," Baier said. "This was a video that showed President Biden being led off the stage by former President Obama. It was there for viewers to see," he said.
Baier also referred to George Clooney's op-ed in the New York Times, where he asked Biden to bow out while raising concerns about his cognitive abilities, triggering a Democratic wave requesting the president to drop out of the upcoming election.
"When article came out, there was no one in the White House or the Biden campaign who reached out and said, 'You were right. They weren't cheap fakes. This wasn't made up,'" Baier said.
Bret Baier casts doubt on Joe Biden's remaining presidential term
Although Bret Baier doubted Joe Biden's ability to serve out his term, he predicted there wouldn't be a 25th Amendment.
He said that given Biden's medical issues, anything might happen at any time.
"The White House says there are no problems and he's still A-Ok. Yet he stepped down from a race that he said he was never going to step down from," Baier said.
"And there are still questions about whether he's going to go the whole distance for the five-plus months remaining in the presidency," he continued, "Anything is possible now."
"I don't sense that the 25th amendment is going to be launched anytime soon. But that's not to say that there's not some major health incident that changes that dynamic. It's day-to-day," he concluded.
