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)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

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.

Donations to Biden Campaign Are Imploding, Sources Tell NBC News: ‘The Money Has Absolutely Shut Off’

/1 Comment/in , /by

An NBC News report cited several sources close to the Biden re-election campaign saying that campaign donations had imploded since the disastrous presidential debate.

The sources close to the campaign said that it had already faced a downturn in donations, but it has worsened into a crisis after President Joe Biden flailed and bumbled through the CNN debate with former President Donald Trump. . .

Two of the sources said that donations from major donors were trending toward being cut in half for July, or even more.

“Donors are negative. They had a call with the president. The call seemed so contrived to people; I don’t think they buy it,” said a source about a national fundraising call by Biden with donors.

“They called on people who were the most loyal, die-hard,” the source continued. “There were no tough questions for the president.” (Read more from “Donations to Biden Campaign Are Imploding, Sources Tell NBC News: ‘The Money Has Absolutely Shut Off'” HERE)

‘They Crave Their Power’: Republicans Who Impeached Trump Call Out Dems for Silence on Biden’s Decline

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, and paid a heavy political price, are calling out their Democratic counterparts for refusing to address President Joe Biden’s mental decline in public.

Former congressmen John Katko and Tom Rice told the Daily Caller it’s time for Democrats to put country over party and be honest about Biden. While a handful of Democratic lawmakers have publicly called for Biden to step aside, far more have seemingly told journalists off the record how badly Biden has declined while refusing to take their concerns out into the open.

“Their primary function is doing what’s necessary to get reelected, and not what’s best for the country,” said Rice. “I took an oath to protect the Constitution. Best of one thing, I took an oath to protect and I wasn’t going to violate my oath.”

Now, many Democrats are failing to take a similar stand despite demanding Republicans do so in the past.

“Strong leadership is lonely and tough decisions, especially those against your own party, are even lonelier,” Katko told the Caller. “But at times they are so very necessary. This may be one of those times for many in the Democratic Party regarding President Biden. History is a long time.” (Read more from “‘They Crave Their Power’: Republicans Who Impeached Trump Call Out Dems for Silence on Biden’s Decline” HERE)

State and Local Dems Call for Biden to Step Aside Amid Mounting Concerns

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Joe Biden continues to face calls for him to withdraw from the presidential election and concerns arise about whether he has the mental and physical fitness to serve another term, state and local Democrats are feeling the pressure and are calling for Biden to step aside.

New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado (D), Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) were among the growing numbers of Democrats that have called for Biden to withdraw from the race in order for a “nominee capable of re-invigorating and re-energizing Americans” to step forward on the Democrat side.

“President Biden deserves our eternal gratitude for what he has accomplished,” Delgado said in a statement. “By defeating Donald Trump in 2020, and leading our nation’s recovery out of the pandemic, he has helped to restore faith in America both at home and abroad.”

Delgado added that there was “no greater threat to” the democracy of the United States “than former President Donald Trump.”

“He must be defeated. That is why I join with millions of Americans – including everyday New Yorkers from all walks of life – who are expressing legitimate concerns about President Biden’s ability to wage a successful campaign against Trump,” Delgado added.

Democrats Make Their Decision: They Are Ridin’ With Biden Despite Deep Concerns

/1 Comment/in , /by

The coup to replace President Joe Biden as the Democrat nominee appears to be sputtering as prominent Democrats are publicly lining up behind the presumptive nominee despite deep private concerns documented within the party.

From vulnerable Democrat senators trying to win reelection in red and purple states, to squad members from deep blue districts, to the chairs of the Congressional Black and Hispanic Caucuses, the party is publicly rallying behind an extremely vulnerable Biden to be at the top of the ticket this fall.

Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Bob Casey (D-PA), and Jon Tester (D-MT), who face extremely competitive Senate races, refused Monday to abandon Biden—who, along with his family, is adamant he is remaining in the race.

“I’m not a pundit,” Brown said Monday, according to NBC News. “I’ve talked to people across Ohio. They have legitimate questions about whether the president should continue his campaign, and I’ll keep listening to people.”

Casey took a very similar approach to Brown. He refused to call on Biden to step aside for another Democrat, with Punch Bowl News’s Andrew Desiderio reporting he said that the party already has its “two nominees,” referring to Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
