Democrats were secretly wargaming former President Joe Biden’s death long before the 2024 election, a new book has revealed.
The White House reportedly expected Biden to soon die, and officials were planning scenarios around his death for at least a year before the election.
The news is alarming, considering Biden was running for reelection at the time, while his team believed he could soon die.
The plans were revealed in a new book called “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House.”
Authors Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes reveal the extensive planning by former Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign team to ensure her succession in case of Biden’s sudden exit from office.
Set for release on April 1st, the book outlines how Harris’s team had wargamed various scenarios.
Those scenarios included Biden’s potential death to his removal from office due to his decline in health.
However, these plans were being made long before the public discussions of Biden’s aging and mental fitness became mainstream.
Team Harris, led by White House communications director Jamal Simmons, had prepared for the worst-case scenarios.
As early as 2022, they strategized around the possibility that Biden might die before his term finished.
One of the more striking revelations from the book includes Simmons’ creation of a “death-pool roster” of federal judges.
This “death-pool roster” was designed to quickly swear in Harris should something happen to Biden.
While Simmons never directly informed Harris of this list, he advised colleagues to notify him immediately if something were to happen to the president.
The planning for Biden’s potential exit was not just focused on his death but also on scenarios where he might step aside or face challenges during the primaries.
This level of preparedness points to an underlying concern within the Democratic Party regarding Biden’s ability to maintain his presidency through the 2024 election cycle.
While Team Harris focused on these contingencies, there was an unsettling reality visible to both insiders and the public: Biden’s health and mental decline were becoming more apparent.
According to the book’s excerpts, White House aides were leaving “colorful bread crumbs” to help Biden navigate the White House.
This included guiding him with fluorescent tape on the floor to find the East Room.
One aide even remarked that Biden “knows to look for that.”
Despite these growing concerns, the media and Democrat officials continued to insist that Biden was in peak mental and physical condition.
However, this false narrative starkly contrasted with the behind-the-scenes planning happening within Harris’s team.
As the book reveals, discussions regarding Biden’s potential exit from the political scene were not confined to Harris’s team alone.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) officials also began to hold secret talks in 2023 about contingency plans in the event of Biden’s withdrawal from the race or office.
These “hush-hush” discussions reflected the same concerns about Biden’s future and the need for a transition strategy.

However, where Team Harris’s plans faltered was in their failure to account for a key factor: Harris herself.
While they meticulously planned for all potential Biden-related scenarios, the reality of Harris’s own political struggles was ignored.
The fact is that Harris, while making history as the first woman of color to serve as vice president, remained a deeply unpopular and unelectable figure within the Democratic Party.
This oversight became evident as Harris’s campaign failed to resonate with voters.
Despite all the planning for her potential ascension, Democrats found themselves stuck with a candidate whose ego-driven ambition could not overcome her lack of political appeal.
The failure to recognize Harris’s unpopularity and inability to connect with voters meant that the Democrats were left with an unviable candidate.
They were unable to mobilize the electorate or present a compelling vision for the future.
Despite the extensive wargaming, Democrats ultimately failed to account for the reality that they had an unelectable candidate stuck in the vice presidency.
The Democrats had all their contingency plans in place, but they were blindsided by their own choice of a vice-presidential candidate who proved to be more of a liability than an asset to their ticket.
