THE JOE BIDEN DILEMMA

Even though it’s Friday and our usual day for our popular Here’s What We Know feature, we just couldn’t NOT share this lengthy newsworthy tidbit. According to our well placed political source, President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance last night might have been part of a bigger plan. Please keep in mind this is gossip but it makes perfect sense if you keep an open mind. Behind the scenes, higher ups in the Democratic Party were hoping Biden wouldn’t run for re-election, but when he insisted, they decided if they gave him enough rope he would hang himself. Despite his good intentions, 81-year-old Biden showed his age and then some last night, and now even some of the most loyal Democrats are calling for him to be replaced. My source points out that many people in the party believed that Joe’s performance WOULDN’T be up to par, which is why they insisted on having the first debate BEFORE the Democratic Convention where he is expected to be nominated as the candidate. Keep in mind, this is the FIRST time in history a debate has been held before the convention. Since Joe hasn’t officially been nominated, the thinking is, it will be easier to replace him. Although he’s insisting he’s going to stay in the race, behind the scenes everyone from senators to cabinet members are urging him to step down. My source adds that the plan is to get Joe to announce he’s dropping out of the race but will continue to serve the remainder of his term as president and designate his delegates to someone else. (Personally, we’d love to have a female candidate)

Candidate Julia Louis-Dreyfus Politics Senate

JULIA LOUIS- DREYFUS HAS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS

She’s played a vice president, and then a president on Veep, and now Julia Louis-Dreyfus is hoping that life imitates art. Julia is a staunch Democrat, donating money and time to the cause, and now she’s hoping to get in on the action and run for Senator. The Seinfeld star’s acting career has been slowing down and she loves the idea of a new chapter of her life beginning in Washington DC, where she spent much of her childhood. Julia has to figure out where to run FROM – even though she has residences in New York and California, she’s planning to relocate to a state like Florida, which currently has two Republican senators, so she can run against them as opposed to running in a state that’s a Democratic stronghold.

Candidate Endorsement Kanye West Politics

KANYE WEST IS READY TO ENDORSE A CANDIDATE

Kayne West wants to join the party but no one will invite him – a political party that is! Kayne became the butt of jokes everywhere thanks to his ridiculous 2020 campaign for President, so this time around he’s offering up his endorsement -but no one wants it. The Biden campaign quickly declined the offer and even Donald Trump had enough common sense to pass up the chance to appear with Kayne and get his endorsement. My source says Kayne, who’s desperate to stay relevant, is now trying to woo spoiler candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, but hasn’t been able to connect with him. As my source puts it, Kayne is more interested in the publicity than he is the politics, which is why he offers up his services to everyone.

Candidate Gwyneth Paltrow Senate

GOOP FOUNDER GWYNETH PALTROW IS THINKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE

During a talk at The Maker’s Conference in Beverly Hills on February 29, Gwyneth Paltrow said (and we agree) that “women should rule the world,” and that’s EXACTLY what the actress and Goop founder plans to do. While Gwyneth didn’t reveal her plan during her appearance, a friend explained that Gwyneth intends to throw her hat into the political arena and run for office. She’s not quite sure what office, but more than likely she’s thinking Senator. Keep an eye out as Gwyneth plans to continue dropping subtle hints about her plan until she’s ready to make the big announcement…

Candidate Donald Trump Nikki Haley Nomination

DONALD TRUMP HAS A BACK-UP PLAN FOR NIKKI HALEY

Just because we’re not a fan doesn’t mean we don’t have a well-placed Donald Trump source and this latest tidbit is a real doozy! The former president is well aware that Nikki Haley is suddenly approaching neck and neck with him. He recently confided to a friend that if he doesn’t win the Republican nomination for president and Nikki does, he plans to run ( and of course fundraise) as a third party candidate which will all but GUARANTEE that Nikki loses. Our source explained that Donald is the epitome of a sore loser and he plans to punish EVERYBODY if he doesn’t get the nomination. Just remember WHERE you read this!

Candidate Fashion Makeover Nikki Haley President

NIKKI HALEY IS GETTING A PRESIDENTIAL MAKEOVER

This is political gossip AND fashion gossip so we just couldn’t resist sharing. One of our fashion sources revealed that presidential candidate, Nikki Haley is now working with an established stylist to make her look more presidential. A Republican Super PAC just gave Nikki their practically unlimited checkbook, so now her campaign is flush with cash. As a result, she’s being seen as a potential Republican front runner, and someone who can dethrone the divisive Donald Trump. Nikki decided she needed a makeover, so she’s working with a NY based stylist on updating her wardrobe, accessories, makeup, and hair. Even though she’s a conservative Republican, she’s also seen as reasonable and moderate, so most of the top fashion designers are willing to work with her. As our source explained it, many of the designers who refused to dress Melania Trump due to her husband’s policies, are more than willing to work with Nikki. Look for subtle changes from now on – her new and improved look will be complete early next year.

Candidate President Ron DeSantis

RON DESANTIS HAS A BIG DECISION TO MAKE

Hollywood is on strike so we’re sharing some juicy Washington, D.C. gossip: According to our well-placed political insider, some powers-that-be are strongly encouraging Ron DeSantis to drop OUT of the race for the White House and have concocted a respectable exit strategy for him. Our source confides some Republican bigwigs are secretly strategizing to get a better candidate to dethrone Trump as they fear Ron isn’t the right guy. Behind VERY closed doors they’re urging Ron to drop out BEFORE the first primary votes are cast and blame his exit on the needs of his young family and wife (who recently battled breast cancer). They promised to make him their ONLY Republican candidate in either the 2028 or 2032 presidential election depending on who wins the White House in 2024. Plus, they’re promising to help him raise millions if he decides to run for Governor of Florida again. Not a bad deal. So far, Ron hasn’t agreed, but his dismal polling and frequent missteps might be enough to persuade him to listen to the advice of the party’s elder statesmen.

Campaign Candidate Muscles President Robert F Kennedy Jr Work Out

ROBERT F KENNEDY JR IS GETTING IN SHAPE TO BE PRESIDENT

Unlikely presidential candidate and vaccine denier, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hopes his ripped body will win over female voters. No kidding! As misogynistic as it sounds, a source reveals that RFK Jr.’s political strategy includes showing off his tanned and muscular physique as often as possible -and then comparing himself to octogenarian Joe Biden. He kicked off his new “sexy campaign strategy” on Twitter this week, posting a shirtless video doing push-ups and remarking how he’s getting in shape to debate the president (even though no debates are planned.) My source insists this isn’t a joke and we should plan to see more shirtless shots all throughout the campaign. We are torn between being amused by his strategy or insulted…

Anti-vax Candidate Cheryl Hines Curb Your Enthusiasm Robert F Kennedy Jr

CHERYL HINES: BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

Poor Cheryl Hines. The Curb Your Enthusiasm actress has been known to walk a fine line between her well-connected Hollywood friends and her unconventional thinking husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Cheryl’s already lost a few friends due to Bobby’s anti-vax beliefs and conspiracy theories on the Covid vaccines. (Remember- he wrote an anti-Dr Fauci book) Now that he’s running for President, our source says Cheryl’s social life is in decline. But what can she do? As soon as she publicly endorsed her husband’s long shot candidacy, more of her remaining friends jumped ship! My source says that a number of Cheryl’s friends are avoiding her calls and stopped inviting her places. She went from popular to social outcast in a matter of weeks. That’s not what you expect when you marry a Kennedy!

Candidate Dr Oz Dr Phil Oprah Senate

OPRAH’S BUDDIES HAVE ASPIRATIONS

WHAT has Oprah unleashed upon us! First, Dr Oz ran for the U.S. Senate and we were afraid he might get elected simply because Oprah made him such a well-known celebrity. Turns out, she didn’t agree with him politically, and he was not elected. Now Oprah’s OTHER protege, Dr Phil, is secretly gearing up to run for the Senate also! But not in his home state Texas, where Ted Cruz will run for re-election. Dr Phil’s plan is to buy a home in the state where he feels he has the best chance of winning, and become a candidate there. Oprah doesn’t see eye to eye with Dr Phil politically either, so don’t expect to see her on the campaign trail. Can he get elected without her?
