Vivek Ramaswamy sparks debate as he says DNC might swap Biden for Hillary Clinton if he falters at debate

WASHINGTON, DC: During his appearance on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on Thursday, June 6, Vivek Ramaswamy discussed the potential for a Democratic shake-up if President Joe Biden fails to meet expectations in the upcoming presidential debate.

Donald Trump and Biden agreed to face each other in two general election debates. CNN will host the first debate on June 27, while ABC will host the second on September 10. 

GOP nominee Ramaswamy sparks controversy

On his show, Hannity noted that Democrats were seemingly "scared to death" about Biden being their candidate before asking Ramaswamy, who dropped out of the 2024 GOP presidential nominee to endorse Trump, about the possibility of a movement within the Democratic Party to replace the incumbent. 

"Do you think there’s a movement underground to get rid of him?" asked the Fox News host to Ramaswamy.

The entrepreneur-turned-politician replied, "Look I think the fact that the debate is taking place in June before the nominating convention of either party is the best sign Sean that is the final hoop they're making the old man Joe Biden jump through before actually getting the nomination."

He added, "So if he exceeds expectations at the debate, he hangs on by a thread for that nomination. But if he falls short of those expectations, make sure and get ready because they are going to be trotting someone else out for that nomination. And you know who’s waiting in line? Hillary Clinton."

Hannity remarked that Biden wouldn't enter the debate "flat," while Ramaswamy advocated for drug tests echoing Trump to ensure fairness during the debate.

One wrote, "After two GREAT speeches, it is definitely Trump who has to worry!" Another said, "Just like you're waiting in line to replace Trump."

A person offered, "Her numbers are worse than Joe's," while someone else added, "Clinton will buckle up for another defeat, she is as smart as she us corrupt, she won't touch it."

An individual claimed, "There is not going to be a debate. Biden will use the ‘I don’t debate with convicted felons’ excuse to back out."

"Oh it won't Biden that melts down. This will be trumps only debate," stated one more.
