The Four Words Some Dem Senators Reportedly Plan to Say to Biden Soon

Joe Biden is the dog in the house on fire, saying, “This is fine.” That’s why so many members of his party are worried about November. Rightly so because the forces that want him gone are many and powerful, but the president seems confident that he can withstand the pressure, even as the fundraising well begins to dry up. Top donors are withholding cash until he drops out. The panic has not subsided following Joe Biden’s atrocious June 27 debate. And now, Democratic Senators are supposedly going to take a page out of A&E’s Intervention and hold one for the leader of their party (via WaPo):

Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) is attempting to assemble a group of Democratic senators to ask President Biden to exit the presidential race, according to two people with direct knowledge of the effort.

Warner is telling Democratic senators that Biden can no longer remain in the election in the wake of his faltering debate performance, according to the people familiar with private conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak freely. Warner has told others that he is deeply concerned that Biden is not able to run a campaign that could beat former president Donald Trump.

[…]

Biden told reporters he had spoken with at least 20 members of Congress and that they’re all telling him “to stay in the race.” When asked about Warner’s concerns, Biden said he was the “only” one pushing for him to step aside. “No one else is calling on me to do that,” he said.

[…]

As chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Warner is viewed as a serious voice privately advocating for the president to step aside. He represents a state that Democrats must win in November to maintain their hold on the White House.

There’s a growing consensus among Senate Democrats that the situation with Biden at the top of the ticket is untenable, and senators are trying to determine the best way to relay that message to an insulated president. Some senators don’t think Biden has people around him who are giving him an accurate picture of the fallout, according to one Democratic senator and a senior Democratic aide.

Joe Biden Repeatedly Denies Reality In Primetime ABC Interview (VIDEO)

In an interview meant to dissuade Democratic panic, President Joe Biden appeared to be in complete denial that his campaign is in a tailspin.

Biden sat down with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos for a pre-recorded interview which aired Friday to reassure voters that he is mentally and physically capable of being president. While insisting that his debate performance was just a “bad night,” the president went on to deny that he is trailing in polls and that his approval rating is historically poor for an incumbent seeking reelection.

“Do you really believe that you’re not behind right now?” Stephanopoulos asked the president.

“All the pollsters I talk to tell me its a toss up, its a toss up. And when I’m behind, there’s only one poll that I’m really far behind, CBS poll and NBC – I mean, excuse me, and uh…” Biden started.

“New York Times and NBC have you about six points behind in the popular vote,” Stephanopoulos interjected.

Trump Beats Whoever Dems Replace Biden With in Hypothetical Polls

The Democratic Party is panicking as it comes to terms with President Joe Biden’s senility and cognitive decline is going to cost them the election.

With less than four months until ballots are cast, several polls found that no matter who Democrats pin up against former President Donald Trump, he still wins.

A new Ipsos/Reuters survey found that Trump beats California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Vice President Kamala Harris in a hypothetical matchup.

Trump won 43 percent of the vote, while Harris would hypothetically win 42 percent. Meanwhile, Newsom would hypothetically win only 39 percent of registered voter’s support compared to Trump’s 42 percent.

Following Biden’s catastrophic debate performance last week, rumors that the 81-year-old president will be replaced as the Democratic nominee are beginning to become reality. (Read more from “Trump Beats Whoever Dems Replace Biden With in Hypothetical Polls” HERE)

Biden Doubles-Down on Remaining in Presidential Race: ‘I’m Staying In’

President Joe Biden doubled down on staying in the presidential election despite concerns after his poor debate performance last week.

At a rally in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday, Biden told the crowd that he was “running” and was “going to win” the presidential election again.

“You probably heard, we had a little debate last week,” Biden told the crowd. “Can’t say it was my best performance. But, ever since then, there’s been a lot of speculation, ‘What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? What’s he going to do?’ Well, here’s my answer, I am running and going to win again.”

As the crowd began chanting, “Let’s go, Joe!” Biden told them that he was the “sitting President of the United States of America,” adding that voters “came through” for him in the 2020 presidential election.

“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party,” Biden added. “I’m the nominee of this party because millions of Democrats like you just voted for me in primaries all across America.” (Read more from “Biden Doubles-Down on Remaining in Presidential Race: ‘I’m Staying In’” HERE)

Fourth of July BBQ Meal Up $11.72 Since Biden White House Bragged Price Dropped $0.16 in 2021

It is growing more costly to enjoy a celebratory meal on Independence Day in President Joe Biden’s (D) economy.

In an email Wednesday, RNC Research pointed to the fact Americans will see the “most expensive Independence Day on Record” this year.

“After the Biden White House attempted to brag about the price of an Independence Day barbecque going down by $0.16 in 2021, the same meal has since increased by $11.72 since then,” the email read, citing the American Farm Bureau Federation.

In July 2021, the White House posted a video in which it claimed that because of Biden’s economic policies, the cost of a Fourth of July barbecue had fallen since 2020, Breitbart News reported at the time.

“The cost of a Fourth of July cookout in 2021 is down $0.16 cents from last year,” the clip said:

White House Spin Machine Hits A Snag After KJP’s Briefing Fib

The White House’s attempt to quell concerns about President Joe Biden’s health appeared to hit a snag after the 81-year-old and the deputy press secretary reportedly contradicted the press secretary.

Biden met with more than 20 Democratic governors Wednesday to discuss his presidential campaign and told attendees he underwent a check-up following his debate performance and was in good health, two people in the meeting told Politico. In the first two press briefings following Biden’s disastrous debate performance, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fielded questions on the 81-year-old’s health, blaming his poor showing on a cold and then later jet lag. The press secretary, however, denied that Biden had gotten any “medical exams” since his February physical.

“Has the president had any medical exams since his last physical in February?” CNN’s MJ Lee asked during the press briefing Wednesday.

“We were able to talk to his doctor about that and that is a ‘no,’” Jean-Pierre responded.

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates later said that the president had been examined a few days after the debate “to check on his cold and was recovering well,” Lee reported.

WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’

Some White House staffers have been forced to tiptoe around President Biden when briefing him on certain topics because they want to avoid eliciting his wrath and are “scared s–tless” of him, a new report says.

“It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’”a senior administration official told Politico, referring to how some of the 81-year-old president’s aides feel they have to walk through a minefield before briefings to avoid him getting angry with them.

“It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing,” the source said. “Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared s—less of him.”

Biden “doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it,” the source said.

The White House vehemently rejected the characterizations of the president, with Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates stressing to The Post on Tuesday, “That’s simply not who he is.” (Read more from “WH Staffers Reportedly ‘Scared S–tless’ of Erratic Biden, Tiptoe Around ‘Isolated’ President During Briefings: ‘Not a Pleasant Person to Be Around’” HERE)

First Sitting Democrat Calls for Biden to Withdraw

By Breitbart. The first domino fell Tuesday. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) called for President Joe Biden to step down from his campaign for reelection to the White House.

Doggett’s announcement followed a horrendous debate performance from Biden universally panned by media and voters.

Few Democrat elected officials have rushed to Biden’s defense, but Doggett is the first to officially announce Biden should step aside.

“For more than a year, many Americans have indicated dissatisfaction with their choices in this election,” Doggett said in a press release. “President Biden has continued to run substantially behind Democratic senators in key states and in most polls has trailed Donald Trump.”

He continued, “I had hoped that the debate would provide some momentum to change that. It did not. Instead of reassuring voters, the President failed to effectively defend his many accomplishments and expose Trump’s many lies.” (Read more from “Rep. Lloyd Doggett Becomes First Sitting Democrat to Call for Biden to Withdraw” HERE)

Democrats Begin Attacking Biden’s Performance and Campaign

By Politico. Top Democrats have begun forcefully and aggressively criticizing President Joe Biden’s debate performance and pushing back against what they call an unconvincing response from his campaign to worries that he’s no longer up for the job — delivering a dire warning to the party.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Tex.), called on Biden to drop out of the race. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), a key ally of the president, told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that he will back Vice President Kamala Harris if Biden steps aside. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it’s completely legitimate to question whether Biden’s debate performance was “an episode or is this a condition?”

Democratic governors are also planning to meet with Biden, possibly as soon as Wednesday, after more than two dozen gathered on a call this week to vent about the president.

“Folks want to know — what’s the plan, Joe? What is the plan not only for you, but the rest of us to get out there and carry the flag? Are you able and is the campaign able to maintain the pace?” said one Democratic adviser to a governor who was on the call. The Democrat was granted anonymity to discuss the private matter.

How Biden’s Mental Decline Went From ‘Misinformation’ to Fact in a Week

On CNN today, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, reports that people close to Joe Biden —people “who loved him, have supported him, and among them are some people who would raise a lot of money for him” — say his disastrous debate performance wasn’t a “one-off.” There have been, according to these insiders, “15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.”

Yeah, we know. All of us saw the horror show in a bunch of videos you hacks kept telling us was “misinformation” a week ago.

Last month, for instance, the same network’s Dem apparatchik Oliver Darcy attacked the “glaring problems” of a well-sourced Wall Street Journal piece detailing a litany of Biden’s slips. Not long before the first presidential debate, CNN ran another piece headlined, “Right-wing media outlets use deceptively cropped video to misleadingly claim Biden wandered off at G7 summit.”

Before the debate, NBC News senior politics reporter Alex Seitz-Wald ran an article headlined, “Misleading GOP videos of Biden are going viral. The fact-checks have trouble keeping up.” In it, Seitz-Wald regurgitates most of the White House’s transparently ridiculous talking points about videos that very accurately illustrated Biden’s mental and physical decline.

On the same day, David Ingram of NBC News — a network that doesn’t get nearly enough credit for its hackery — published a piece headlined, “The deceptive Biden G7 video was quickly debunked, but it kept going viral anyway.” It was a full-court press.

Joe Biden Trashes Supreme Court, Ignores All Questions From Media Following Disastrous Debate

President Joe Biden struggled on Monday in his first remarks since his disastrous debate performance last week and refused to answer all questions from reporters.

Biden’s remarks came in response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling this week that presidents are immune from criminal prosecution for official acts they make as president, but not official conduct.

Critics noticed that Biden, who only managed to be able off a teleprompter for about four minutes before having to call it quits, came to the press looking orange after he appeared a pasty white color during last week’s debate.

“This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States,” Biden said. “But today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed. For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what the president can do. This is a fundamentally new principle and it’s a dangerous precedent.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Trashes Supreme Court, Ignores All Questions From Media Following Disastrous Debate” HERE)
