At an election rally in Minnesota, Donald Trump claimed President Joe Biden was coerced by the Democratic Party to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, calling it a 'coup'.

'This was really a coup of and by the Democrats,' Trump asserted. He described the pressure on Biden, citing threats involving the 25th Amendment that allows removing a president deemed physically incapable. According to Trump, the Democrats forced Biden out, stating, 'Joe, we're going to threaten you with the 25th Amendment.'

Biden announced his withdrawal on July 20, following a poor debate performance and a failed assassination attempt on Trump. This move has since invigorated the Democrats, who are now challenging Trump strongly with Kamala Harris as their presidential nominee.
