In a statement on Tuesday, Donald Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, alleged that President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 race was orchestrated through a “coup.” Speaking during an interview with Elon Musk, Trump claimed that his performance in the recent debate was so dominant that it compelled Biden to withdraw from the election. “I beat Biden so badly in the debate that his departure from the race was almost inevitable,” Trump declared. He described his debate performance as one of the greatest in history, asserting that Biden’s withdrawal was a result of the overwhelming impact of their exchange, which he characterized as a strategic and deliberate maneuver.
