Ted Cruz Predicts Michelle Obama Will Replace Biden Atop the Ticket While Bragging About His Podcast Punditry

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) bragged about his past predictions that President Joe Biden would have to drop out of the 2024 presidential race during an appearance on Fox Business Thursday.

“So to Ted Cruz, Republican from the great state of Texas joins us now. Mr. Senator, is Biden going to bow out gracefully or is he going to be forced out?” asked anchor Stuart Varney.

“Stuart I think he’s going to be forced out. I put the odds of Biden not being on the ballot in November at about 80 percent,” replied the senator and part-time pundit, adding:

I think the Democratic Party is freaking out right now. I think you’re seeing senators, you’re seeing House members, you’re seeing the New York Times, you’re seeing NBC News, you’re seeing George Clooney in Hollywood. And it’s worth noting why they’re freaking out. Listen, they’ve all known for six months, for a year, for longer that Biden’s mental capacity was severely diminished, that he was not up to doing the job. But they’re not worried about having a commander-in-chief who’s not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities. The only reason they’re panicking is because they now realize the American people have seen that, and they’re terrified that he’s going to lose in November.

And so now they’re willing to dump him. I put the odds at about 80%. They dump him. And if and when they dump him, I think their replacement nominee will be one of two people. It will either be Michelle Obama or it will be Kamala Harris. And I actually predicted ten months ago on my podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz, ten months ago, I predicted they were going to push Joe Biden out and replace him with Michelle Obama. That may still prove to be the case.

“And you see, my eyes widen when you said that Michelle Obama, I was a little surprised by that,” Varney responded before asking Cruz about Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) signaling he was open to Biden being replaced.
