Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes Joe Biden’s death could prove to be the ‘October Surprise’ in the U.S. election, even if the so-called “Clinton diaspora” has to “make it happen.”
Citing an Axios report that quotes a Bill Clinton administration official as saying the “Clinton diaspora is freaking the hell out” about Biden’s reelection prospects, Kassam referred his social media followers to a podcast from Thursday where he raised the possibility of the 81-year-old dying.
“You had a snap election in the UK, and you had a snap election in France,” Kassam said on the podcast. “There’s a globalist theme for 2024. I just would not be surprised—do not put it past them—to watch Joe Biden die on his feet in front of the American public. Maybe not literally, but literally to pass away, a week, two weeks, three weeks before an election, and then, boom, it’s a snap election, it’s a snap candidate.”
In these circumstances, Kassam said, the Democrats could strongly benefit from a “sympathy vote.”
“And the sympathy vote… Go and look at that [Barry] Goldwater blowout if you need reminding of that,” he advised.
“A sympathy vote just can take enough away from the moderates and the independents. Can [bring out] a lot to the people who were going to stay at home, not vote for Biden. Suddenly, you’re in a different situation,” he stressed.
Barry Goldwater was the Republican challenger to Lyndon B. Johnson, who became President after the assassination of John F. Kennedy Jr, in 1964. Goldwater had been expecting to challenge Kennedy, having been the frontrunner for the Republican nomination prior to his 1963 assassination. He faced heavy backlash because he publicly criticized Kennedy before his death, despite their personal friendship.
Johnson carried all but six states.
As I said on the podcast yesterday, the October surprise is going to be Biden popping his clogs. Even if the – ahem – “Clinton diaspora” have to make it happen…
