Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that he believes there is a good chance that President Joe Biden leaves office before the elections this fall.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while mentioning that he predicted a year ago that Democrats were going to replace Biden before the election.
“So, I’m going to make another prediction, and it’s not one that I want to have happen,” Cruz said. “I’m going to put the odds at 40% that Joe Biden resigns between now and Election Day.”
“I think there are going to be very serious discussions in the White House by all the partisans whose paycheck is written by continuing the regime,” he continued. “Everyone who stays in power is going to say, you know, if you say your health has reached a point that you need to step aside.”
Ferguson said that doing so would give Harris a “huge advantage” in the election, to which Cruz responded: “Which is why I think they will have a very serious discussion. I think if they can bully Joe Biden into doing it, it’ll happen.”

Cruz predicted last September that Democrats were going to force Biden out of the presidential race this August. His prediction was only off by a few weeks.

Cruz said that Democrats would turn Biden into a hero if he announced that he was not running for re-election and that they would “immediately start carving him on Rushmore, figuratively speaking, the Rushmore of socialists.”
“Joe Biden would permanently, look, he aspires to be the next FDR,” he said. “And part of how Democrats would get him to step down is by saying, ‘By doing this, you’re the next FDR; by doing this, you’re George Washington, stepping down … You’re demonstrating the ultimate statesmen principle.'”
