It's part of an op. Which op is the question. All the news is talking about "replacing Biden," so that's obviously not it (that's the narrative).
2/3 of the population don't really pay attention. Their believe in whatever is on the TV/Google/Socials is what keeps society stable. They can, for the most part, be safely ignored. (If it drops from 2/3 ... well hope you have your stock pile of food and guns ready).
Trying to figure out what's really going on is like trying to figure out the story of a Sweet Baby Inc video game.
