‘He Was Forced Out’: Chris Wallace Punctures DNC Unity By Noting Biden Was Just ‘Thrown Out of a Window’

Chris Wallace argued the first night of the Democratic National Convention will be somewhat of a “bitter” one given the way in which President Joe Biden was ousted from the top of the 2024 ticket.

Biden dropped out of the race after his performance in a debate against Donald Trump fueled questions about his ability to serve another term. Though he was reportedly adamant on running against Trump again, Biden ultimately made the decision to stand aside under intense public and private pressure from the Democratic Party — paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place on the Democratic ticket.

According to Wallace, the party’s biggest challenge will be assuaging the concerns of those who were opposed to Biden dropping out.

“The word that everybody is using to describe tonight is bittersweet,” Wallace said before the convention was set to begin. “It’s just bitter. The fact of the matter is — I’m not saying Joe Biden is bitter — but, you know, it’s like you’ve been thrown out a window and as you’re falling, you go, ‘Gee it’s nice out here.’ No, he got thrown out of a window and, basically, he was forced.

“You know, there’s going to be a lot of talk tonight about how generous it was of him and selfless of him. He was basically forced out by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries ; and I suspect even the fact that there has been this surge of enthusiasm since he left and Kamala Harris took his place, that’s gotta be pretty tough, too. You got thrown out of a window and everybody’s applauding the person who’s now in the room.”
