Kash Patel, former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and Deputy Director of National Intelligence under President Trump, recently made headlines with his bold assertion that Kamala Harris might be installed as President before the 2024 election. Speaking on the X22 Report podcast, Patel speculated that Biden could step down, handing over the presidency to Harris in a maneuver designed to protect his family amid ongoing legal challenges.
Patel’s theory revolves around the notion that Biden might retire before the election to shield his embattled family, particularly concerning the investigations into Hunter Biden’s business dealings and tax issues. According to Patel, this potential “horse trade” would involve Biden stepping down in exchange for Harris taking the reins and, subsequently, issuing pardons to the Biden family post-election.
During his interview, Patel did not hold back in expressing his views, stating, “It’s really on him to work with Biden as the Commander-in-Chief, who could also, by the way, slip the Commander-in-Chief hat over to Kamala.” He suggested that this transition could be part of a broader scheme to ensure political and legal immunity for the Biden family, particularly as Hunter Biden faces scrutiny from a tax trial Patel deems a “total sham.”
Patel’s comments underscore the high-stakes political environment as the 2024 election approaches. He referenced the power of presidential pardons, which can be applied both retroactively and prospectively, allowing Harris, if made President, to potentially pardon any conduct included in the pardon paperwork. This, he argued, could be Biden’s way of safeguarding his family from any legal repercussions.
While Patel’s assertions have sparked significant discussion, they also highlight the intense scrutiny surrounding the Biden administration and its potential impact on the upcoming election. The notion of a pre-election presidential transition is highly unconventional but reflects the broader strategic calculations at play within the political landscape. I wouldn’t put it past the Democrats to do something like this.
