Joe Biden’s low poll numbers aren’t getting any better.

But Democrats have a backup plan in mind.

And Fox News just predicted when Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden.

As Liberal Hack Watch reports:

A brand-new Detroit News poll shows Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by eight points.

Polls of Pennsylvania and Nevada from the left-wing firm Change Research finds Trump leading Biden in those crucial swing states by six and four points respectively.

Those polls provide important context for what happened next.

Barack Obama leaked to the Washington Post that he hit the panic button during a meeting with Joe Biden about the Biden re-election campaign failing to perform.

Obama also warned Biden that Trump was much more likely to win the election than anyone realized.

On top of that leak, Michelle Obama appeared on a podcast where she declared herself “terrified” over the increasing probability that Trump would win in 2024.

The former first lady also pressed the panic button over young voters and black voters – two typically loyal Democrat constituencies – not feeling any urgency to turn out in November.

Over on Fox News the co-hosts of “Outnumbered” saw a plan coming together.

Lisa Kennedy Montgomery explained that Democrats aren’t just going to sit back and let Joe Biden lose.

The Obamas dropping a coordinated one-two punch on Joe Biden was designed to set the stage for Michelle Obama to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.

“She wants to run,” Kennedy declared. “So, this is her way — now that she’s talking about politics, if she were really concerned about the future and tenor of the country, she would be on the campaign trail with Joe Biden. She is just as concerned about him as she is about Donald Trump. This is her way of sending out a little canary into the coal mine to see if it lives, and I think this could be beginning of her campaign.”

Co-host Dr. Marc Siegel nodded along noting the only way to pull this off was to make the switch late enough in the calendar to cut off a contested fight for the nomination.

And the only candidate who could clear the field was Michelle Obama, especially since Democrats planned to stage the nominating convention in her backyard of Chicago.

No Democrat – Dr. Siegel theorized – would stand in the way of a hometown coronation for Michelle Obama, the most popular Democrat in America.

“By the way, the Democrat Convention is in Chicago, so that would be a great coming out party. The whole notion of saying, ‘We’re afraid of the other guy’ — by the way, she could mean, ‘We’re afraid of Biden, too. We’re afraid of him stumbling, not remembering what he’s saying.’ You know, she could be afraid of how presidential Biden is right now, plus her fear of ‘the other,’ Trump — I don’t particularly like that approach at all. I wrote a whole book on fear and fear-mongering, and how that’s not how to bring this country together. Talk about the issues: what about the border, what about the economy? You don’t want to talk about those things, so you make everyone afraid of the other guy,” Siegel stated.
