Biden’s Former Chief of Staff: ‘End the Freak-Out,’ ‘Unite Behind’ Biden as ‘the Democratic Nominee’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Ron Klain, the former chief of staff for President Joe Biden, is calling for an end to Democrat “freak-out” after Biden’s NATO press conference avoided total disaster and an NPR/Marist/PBS News poll showed him with a narrow lead over Trump Friday morning.

“With yesterdays press conf and this new poll, it’s time to end the freak out and unite behind the Democratic nominee and the only person who has ever beaten Trump,” Klain declared in a post on X.

His post comes a day after he said polls showing Trump ahead, including in Rust Belt states that will decide the election, are “in the ballpark” while appearing on the New Republic’s The Daily Blast with Greg Sargent Podcast. He also shared his belief that Biden is “doing a little better than” what had been reflected in surveys.

“But look, I’ve said all along, it’s a very close race. And I’m not saying Joe Biden has it in the bag, but I do believe firmly that he is the best Democratic candidate and is the person most likely to beat Trump, having beaten Trump previously,” Klain added.

Biden’s NATO Summit Blunder: Introduces Zelensky as Vladimir Putin (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

At the NATO Summit in Washington, DC, President Joe Biden introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as Russian President Vladimir Putin, only to correct himself moments later with an incoherent explanation. This latest gaffe adds to the growing scrutiny of Biden’s health and raises further questions about his political viability.

During his introduction, Biden said, “Now, I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President Putin.” The audience hesitantly clapped while Biden realized his mistake. “President Putin,” Biden corrected himself. “He’s going to beat President Putin — President Zelensky. I’m so focused on beating Putin, we got to worry about it. Anyway…”

This slip-up, coupled with Biden’s recent debate performance, has fueled concerns about his mental acuity. Ukrainian President Zelensky reportedly raised concerns about Biden’s health after watching the debate, a Ukrainian source told Axios on Tuesday. “Let’s be candid and frank: Everyone is waiting for November,” Zelensky said at a press conference. “The whole world is looking to November, and truly speaking, Putin awaits November too.”

Biden’s struggles with unscripted moments are not new. Special Counsel Robert Hur has described Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” and the Wall Street Journal reported that Biden often relies on aides to remind him of information during donor events.

The NATO Summit blunder has intensified calls from within the Democratic Party for Biden to step aside as the presumptive nominee. Some Democrats believe the party needs a stronger candidate to face former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. With mounting doubts about Biden’s ability to lead, the Democratic Party faces a critical decision as the November election approaches.

Report: CEO Friend of Joe Biden Says ‘No Way’ He’s Dropping Out, ‘Hates’ Party Elite, ‘Will Tell Everyone Else to F*** Off’

A CEO friend of President Joe Biden reportedly said that there is “no way” the president is dropping out, that he “hates” the party elite, and that he will tell them all to “f**k off.”

According to Charles Gasparino, senior contributor to Fox Business and columnist for the New York Post, a CEO who knows Joe Biden closely said that the president will stay in the race and that he will not bow down to party elites.

“NO F**KING WAY he’s dropping out,” the friend reportedly said.

“Joe Biden couldnt care less what the elite in his party thinks, what the elite fundraisers think or anyone else. He really hates them; he’ll take their money but he knows they look down on him as some rube,” the friend reportedly added.

“Plus he thinks he earned the presidency after trying so many times and there’s no way he’s giving it up to go down in history as a loser who dropped out because he isn’t tough enough. He only cares about his wife and family and he will tell everyone else to f**k off,” the friend reportedly concluded.

Under a Quarter of Adults Think Biden is ‘Mentally Sharp’ After Disastrous Debate: Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden‘s debate performance two weeks ago has only heightened concerns about his mental acuity among the public, according to a new poll.

A Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows that only 24% of adults would say that “mentally sharp” describes Biden very or fairly well, compared to 58% who would say it describes former President Donald Trump very or fairly well. The figure for Biden continues a drop from a March 2021 peak of 54% believing “mentally sharp” described the president very or fairly well.

Biden has higher ratings for honesty than Trump, 48% to 36%, while adults believe Trump to be mean-spirited at a higher rate than Biden, 64% to 31%.

One trait in which adults believe Biden and Trump are equal is whether they are “embarrassing,” with 63% saying that it describes both men very or fairly well, according to the survey.

When the pollster surveyed registered voters, it found that Trump leads Biden, 50%-47%, head-to-head, in another bruising result for the president. (Read more from “Under a Quarter of Adults Think Biden is ‘Mentally Sharp’ After Disastrous Debate: Poll” HERE)

Biden Campaign Polling Harris Against Trump as Democratic Lawmakers Tease More Defections

/1 Comment/in , /by

Members of President Biden’s own re-election effort think he has no chance of defeating Republican Donald Trump following last month’s debate debacle — and have been quietly polling Vice President Kamala Harris in the ticket’s top spot should the 81-year-old step aside.

“He needs to drop out,” one Biden campaign official told NBC News of the president. “He will never recover from this.”

“No one involved in the effort thinks he has a path,” another source told the outlet.

The internal surveys, reported by the New York Times, pitting Harris, 59, against the 78-year-old Trump likely serve one of two purposes, according to Democratic pollster John Zogby, founder of an eponymous marketing and political consulting firm.

Either Harris “does worse, and [shows] that Biden has a reason to stay in the race,” he said, or, “more than likely, they’re testing to see if he can hand the reins of the campaign over to her.” (Read more from “Biden Campaign Polling Harris Against Trump as Democratic Lawmakers Tease More Defections” HERE)

White House Screened Cabinet Officials’ Questions for Biden During Rare Meetings With Prez: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Biden’s Cabinet members have been emphatic that the commander-in-chief is sharp and probative behind closed doors.

However, the 81-year-old chief executive’s interactions with key members of his administration are actually pre-scripted and carefully choreographed — with aides going over questions and discussion points with Cabinet secretaries ahead of time.

Biden has not convened a meeting of his full Cabinet since Oct. 2, 2023, nine months ago.

“The entire display is kind of an act,” one source told CNN of the closed-door get-togethers. “They would come and say, ‘Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in and ask this question. What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?’”

One unidentified Cabinet secretary told the outlet that they were unclear on the status of Biden’s health or cognitive performance because they met with the president so infrequently.

Source: Biden Campaign Believes Obama is Working ‘Behind the Scenes’ to ‘Orchestrate’ Calls to Step Down

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden’s campaign thinks former President Barack Obama is secretly coordinating the growing push for the president to drop out of the race, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough asserted on Thursday.

Obama allies have pounced on Biden as the president and his team strive to maintain his standing as the presumptive Democratic nominee following his disastrous debate performance. The Biden campaign and “Democratic officials” suspect Obama himself is behind the effort, Scarborough said, adding he believes it will backfire.

“What’s going on behind the scenes is the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this,” Scarborough said. “And if Joe Biden believes that, that’s not going to get him out of the race any faster. Any time David Axelrod attacks him, David Axelrod ensures that Joe Biden will dig himself in another day. Any time the pod bros say something nasty about Joe Biden, which they have repeatedly said nasty things about Joe Biden, before the debate, after the debate. Every time they do that, he digs in a little bit further.”

Biden’s Support Plummets: Calls for a New Democratic Candidate Grow Louder

/3 Comments/in , /by

Following a disastrous debate performance, President Joe Biden is rapidly losing support, even among his former staunch backers. Recent post-debate polling data reveals that two-thirds of voters believe Biden is too old to be president, with one in three Democrats suggesting he should step aside in the upcoming election. Notably, long-time supporter George Clooney has also turned against him.

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) approaches, set to be held from August 19th to 22nd, the calls for Biden to allow another Democrat to challenge Trump are increasing. Despite this, Biden remains steadfast in his decision to stay in the race.

The New York Post interviewed four Democrats desperate for an alternative candidate in 2024. Among them is Getulio Gonzalez-Mulattieri, a 36-year-old Air Force veteran and public policy student at Cornell University, who has voted Democrat in every presidential election since 2008.

“I’ve slowly gotten to the point that I just can’t go through with this guy,” Gonzalez-Mulattieri told The Post. “All this recent debate did was confirm for me what I already suspected… The guy is cognitively impaired. His mental acuity isn’t there. How is he supposed to have the most important job in government?”

Gonzalez-Mulattieri, who has a background in community organizing and advocacy for racial equity, environmental justice, and immigration reform, feels betrayed by the Democrats’ portrayal of Biden’s mental state.

“Democrats keep pushing the narrative that he’s strong, he’s energetic — don’t give me that b******t,” he said. “Why would I trust you after you’ve given me this false narrative over the course of two years?”

Concerns about Biden’s cognitive health have been echoed by Dr. Tom Pitts, a New York specialist who recently told NBC that Biden displays classic symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. “I could have diagnosed him from across the mall,” Pitts said. “It’s just like — this guy is not a hard case. I see him 20 times a day in clinic.”

Despite these concerns, the Biden administration continues to obfuscate the issue. The latest effort involves downplaying the significance of Parkinson’s expert Dr. Kevin Cannard’s eight visits to the White House over the past eight months. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre initially claimed Cannard’s visits were unrelated to Biden’s health, only for Biden’s personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, to later admit otherwise.

Adding to the skepticism, Biden has refused to take a diagnostic cognitive test and make the results public. In a recent interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Biden brushed off concerns, claiming he undergoes a cognitive test “every day” and insisting he is capable of running the country. However, his performance on the global stage and domestic issues tells a different story.

ABC News Exec Was ‘Furious’ After George Stephanopoulos Said Biden Can’t Serve Another White House Term: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top ABC News executive was reportedly “furious” upon learning that George Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic operative, came off as biased against President Biden.

Stephanopoulos, 63, was told by the network’s news division head, Debra O’Connell, that “he is a newsman who is expected to be objective,” according to Radar Online, after video footage emerged of the former Bill Clinton adviser telling a Manhattan passerby, “I don’t think [Biden] can serve four more years.”

The candid clip of Stephanopoulos, published by TMZ on Tuesday, reportedly sparked an internal meeting at ABC, which resulted in O’Connell asking that the “Good Morning America” and “This Week” host apologize for his remark – which he did.

“Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have,” the news anchor told Puck News in a statement hours after his comments went viral.

And ABC News, in its own statement to the outlet, added: “George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News.” (Read more from “ABC News Exec Was ‘Furious’ After George Stephanopoulos Said Biden Can’t Serve Another White House Term: Report” HERE)

TikTok’s Biggest Biden Fan Doubles Down; Gets Destroyed on Piers Morgan (VIDEO)

While liberals across the country have begun waking up to the realization that Joe Biden is not fit to be president, some are still fast asleep — and it doesn’t appear they’ll be waking up anytime soon.

One of those liberals is famous TikTok influencer Harry Sisson, who appeared on a panel alongside Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”

While Rubin and Morgan both agree that President Biden needs to step down in light of his clear mental decline, Sisson appears to have seen an entirely different debate.

“President Biden should be the nominee,” Sisson says definitively, before trying to take a shot at Rubin: “I wonder where Dave got his M.D., where he got his degree to specialize in neurology.”

“And I just find it funny how he’s saying, ‘Oh, we shouldn’t respect Biden and Karine Jean-Pierre, but I’m sure that he’s voting for the convicted felon and the proven sexual abuser, who defamed his victim, and he gives his respect to him every single day,” he continues.
