Barack Obama got approval from Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment if necessary.
President Joe Biden confirms he was pushed out of the race by top Democrats who apparently staged a coup on him.
“But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the house and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races.”
The statement coincides with what journalist Seymour Hersh suggested when he reported that Barack Obama threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment, saying he had “Kamala’s approval” to force him out of the race.
Hersh said Obama was “deeply involved” with the alleged coup and called Biden after his “incident” in Las Vegas.
“I went over [reports] this week with a senior official in Washington who helped me fashion an account of a White House in complete disarray,” Hersh said.
“Obama called Biden after breakfast [on July 20] and said, ‘Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment,'” a senior Washington official told Hersh.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries were reportedly directly involved.

Canadian pop diva Celine Dion took to her X account and blasted the former President Donald Trump on Saturday after his campaign played a video of her performing her 1997 hit My Heart Will Go On Friday night in Montana. She wrote:
“Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
…And really, THAT song?”

Before Trump took to the stage in Bozeman to campaign for GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, several clips of a live performance of Dion singing a live rendition of the ballad went viral online after it was played on the big screen.
Many who viewed the clips connected the song featured in the Oscar-winning film Titanic to the Trump campaign’s struggles in recent weeks. On Saturday afternoon, Dion officially weighed in and said the use of the song was not authorized and swiping at the former president and 2024 Republican Party nominee for using it.

Neither Trump nor anyone affiliated with his campaign had responded to Dion.
