Meghan McCain: Biden won’t be elected to a second term ‘one way or another’

Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), said President Biden will not be elected to another term “one way or another.”

“Joe Biden can step aside for another candidate or lose in historic numbers in a few months — but one way or another he will not be President soon and this is something his family should start coming to terms with since they all seem to be living in a severe level of delusion,” McCain said in a post on social platform X Friday.

McCain’s words come after a week of tension among Democrats in the aftermath of ashaky debate performance last Thursday. Biden sounded raspy and stumbled over his words during the CNN debate, which set off questions among Democrats as to whether he should remain the party’s candidate.

The White House was insistent earlier this week that Biden is not leaving the presidential race, and Biden said in a fundraising email sent Wednesday that nobody “is pushing” him “out.”

“I’m the Democratic Party’s nominee,” the fundraising email read. “No one is pushing me out. I’m not leaving, I’m in this race to the end, and WE are going to win this election. If that’s all you need to hear, pitch in a few bucks to help [Vice President Harris] and me defeat Donald Trump in November.”

In another post on X early Saturday morning, McCain said that “hysterical Biden defenders are exactly the same as the hysterical Trump defenders and frankly this cult worship of our presidents is really scary and exactly the opposite of what that position was intended to be when created by our founding fathers.

“These men aren’t kings,” McCain continued.

In an interview on ABC Friday, when it came to if he could be convinced to step out of the presidential race, Biden said “if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get out of the race,’ I’d get out of the race. The Lord Almighty’s not comin’ down.”
