A former Trump administration official anticipates a pre-election shake-up with Kamala Harris being installed as president before November.
Kash Patel, a former U.S. National Security Council official under then-President Donald Trump, envisions a scenario where President Joe Biden could end his tenure and hand control over to his vice president and current Democrat nominee.
“It’s really on him to, I guess in this instance, work with Biden as the commander-in-chief, who could also, by the way, slip the commander-in-chief hat over to Kamala in the lead up to the election here to make her president and give her a boost politically somehow, and he could just retire from the seat,” Patel said on the X22 Report podcast.

With Biden’s family perhaps looking for protection, especially in the wake of Hunter Biden’s legal issues, the president could already be negotiating an exchange according to Patel.
“I think it’s in the works,” said Patel, who served as Department of Defense Chief of Staff and Deputy Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration.
“I’ve always said this: Look, I think that no member of the Biden family will ever go to prison. This tax trial that Hunter Biden is now undergoing is a total sham and a fraud. He should have been charged with multiple serious felonies years ago, not to mention the fact that he’s already a convicted felon. But Daddy is going to save him. He’s never going to do a day in jail,” he added.
“I think the horse trade will be: ‘I’m going to, Joe Biden, leave or retire. You, Kamala, are going to take the reins. And once the election is over, you’re going to pardon my son, my entire family, and myself.’ Because remember, presidential pardons aren’t just retroactive; they’re prospective,” Patel explained.
“So, if you pardon someone, you pardon them for the entirety of the conduct that you include in the pardon paperwork,” he continued.
“I’ve always thought that was going to be part of some deal or horse trade. Because if you can count on Joe Biden to do one thing, it’s to save his family from all this illicit conduct that they have been caught in, and he can do it with a stroke of a pen,” he said.
