Biden Dares Dem Party Elites: “Run Against Me”

In a defiant interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” President Joe Biden dismissed calls from Democratic elites urging him to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, inviting them to challenge him at the Democratic National Convention instead.

“I was one of the few people out there publicly saying before the 2022 election there will be no red wave, there will be no red wave,” Biden asserted. “I’ve been all over the country. I didn’t believe it at all. Then in 2023, key elections, I went into those races, not every one of them, but a lot of them, saying we were going to win. We won those.”

Biden’s confidence in his electoral success reflects his far-fetched belief that the average American voter still supports him.

“The American public is not going to move away from me as an average voter. Again, I’m here for two reasons, pal. One, to rebuild the economy for hardworking middle-class people to give everybody a shot, a straight shot, everybody gets a fair chance. Number two, remember all this talk about how I don’t have the black support. Give me a break, come with me, watch. I’m getting frustrated by the elites, not you guys, the elites in the party. Oh, they know so much more. Any of these guys that don’t think I should run, run against me, announce for president, challenge me at the convention.”

Biden’s remarks come amid growing speculation about his ability to secure another term, with some party members expressing concern over his age and recent debate performances. However, Biden remains undeterred.

“In Europe, the polls were wrong in France and there’s no right wave here in America either,” Biden added.

Radio Station Cuts Ties With Host Who Revealed She Asked Biden Questions Fed to Her by President’s Team

A Philadelphia radio station has cut ties with the host who admitted to asking President Biden questions that were supplied to her by his team, WURD Radio’s leadership confirmed Sunday.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who previously hosted “The Source” on WURD 96.1 FM, scored the first post-debate interview with Biden last Wednesday.

However, on Saturday, she revealed to CNN’s “First of All with Victor Blackwell” that she was fed eight questions by Biden’s team — and used four of them as her only queries to the president.

Sara Lomax, WURD Radio’s president and CEO, said Sunday that she was not involved in negotiations for the interview.

“The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately,” Lomax said.

Hunter Biden’s the Real Point Person in Joe’s White House — Don’t Underestimate the First Son

While the focus has been on four-time Vogue cover girl Jill Biden and her screeching assurances that Joe is hale and hearty and fit for another four years, the first son has flown under the radar.

But Hunter is glued to his father’s side for a reason. He was with him at Camp David to help prepare for the disastrous debate, was there for the vainglorious Annie Leibovitz family photo shoot post-debate, then flew back with the president to the White House where he has been ensconced ever since.

He reportedly is acting as “gatekeeper” to his father and helping write speeches for him, while White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that he has been sitting in on Joe’s meetings with senior staff. . .

Hunter’s role also has caused concern for the powerful House Intelligence committee, with Republican chairman Mike Turner demanding to know if Hunter is “receiving classified information” . . .

Despite the questionable optics, Hunter is not even trying to hide his position of influence, and instead is acting proprietorial, important and in charge. Cameras caught him looking deliriously happy and networking like a pro in the East Room where his father was conducting a Medal of Honor ceremony Wednesday.

[I]n the addled state Joe is in now, unable to hide his cognitive deficits, Hunter is in the driver’s seat like never before. (Read more from “Hunter Biden’s the Real Point Person in Joe’s White House — Don’t Underestimate the First Son” HERE)

Dems Predict ‘Sh*t is Going to Hit the Fan’ as They Plan to Push Biden Out

The Democratic Party is in total chaos after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance, leading the party to panic just four months before the November election.

As Biden continues to defy the country, saying that only God himself can convince the president to drop out of the race, Democrats are hellbent on pushing him out by the end of this week.

Democrats can no longer turn a blind eye to Biden’s ailing health after several of his last public appearances shed light on his cognitive decline.

Big-time donors have echoed similar sentiments, threatening to withhold funding until the 81-year-old president is no longer in the running.

“The sh*t is going to hit the fan on Monday when Congress returns,” a House Democrat told Axios. “People are scared about their own races. But they’re also worried about the country, and about democracy.” (Read more from “Dems Predict ‘Sh*t is Going to Hit the Fan’ as They Plan to Push Biden Out” HERE)

Dem Donors Pledge $2 Million to Fund New Debates if Joe Biden Drops Out: Report

A group of wealthy Democratic donors has pledged $2 million to fund new debates among presidential candidates if President Joe Biden decides to drop out of the race, The Washington Post reported Friday.

The group, led by former Intuit and PayPal chief executive Bill Harris, is calling for an open Democratic primary to decide which candidate would replace the president, according to the outlet.

The move is reportedly aimed at preventing a situation where Vice President Kamala Harris automatically gets the nod if Biden decides to suspend his campaign for a second term in office, according to the outlet.

“It’s not that we have to protect ourselves from chaos and drama,” Bill Harris argued. “We need drama and a little chaos. I think it can be refreshing and energizing.”

Report: Biden Guided by Document Instructing Him to ‘Walk to Podium’ During Events

White House staffers have reportedly created a document with photos and instructions for President Joe Biden to “walk” to the podium during events.

One template of the five-page document, which was obtained by Axios, shows a “large picture of the event space” on different pages, with words in “big text” that say, “View from podium” and “View from audience.”

The document also reportedly shows two different photos with the words “Walk to podium,” according to the outlet.

One person who had reportedly staffed an event for the president in the past year and a half told the outlet that the White House had “treated” a “simple fundraiser at a private residence” as if it “was a NATO summit.”

“I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements,” the person told the outlet. (Read more from “Report: Biden Guided by Document Instructing Him to ‘Walk to Podium’ During Events” HERE)

Joe Biden: I Was the ‘First Black Woman to Serve With a Black President’

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden referred to himself as the “first black woman to serve with a black president” and the first president that got “elected statewide in Delaware when I was a kid” in his latest baffling interview.

Listeners of Pennsylvania radio show WURD were confused to hear Biden stumble through a list of his purported accomplishments in the black community, as he appeared to trip over his words when talking about serving as former President Barack Obama’s vice president and choosing Vice President Kamala Harris as his own.

“By the way, I’m proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, first black woman, to serve with a black president,” he told host Andrea Lawful-Sanders.

“I’m proud of the first black woman in the Supreme Court,” he added, referring to Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson.

Prior to the racial confusion, Biden also touted the accomplishment of becoming elected when he was a “kid.”

Biden Says He’s ‘First Black Woman to Serve With a Black President’ in Latest Gaffe

By New York Post. President Biden described himself as the “first black woman to serve with a black president” as he yet again twisted his words, his latest gaffe as he scrambles to reassure voters he’s still fit to lead. . .

Biden appeared to trip up as he described having served as former President Barack Obama’s vice president and then choosing Kamala Harris as his own. . .

He also claimed he understood the black struggle for representation — because he didn’t think Catholics could be president before John F. Kennedy was elected more than six decades ago.

Biden made the reference as he was telling the host he knew what Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court meant to “a young girl who is in school and having trouble.”

“I looked at John Kennedy and said, ‘Well, he — John — he got elected. Why can’t I get elected?’” Biden said. “People need things to look up to.” (Read more from “Biden Says He’s ‘First Black Woman to Serve With a Black President’ in Latest Gaffe” HERE)

White House Again Changes Debate Story; Now Says Biden Was Seen by a Doctor

The ever-shifting White House explanation for President Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week took another turn Thursday, with administration officials now insisting that Mr. Biden saw his doctor in the days after the debate.

The White House initially blamed Mr. Biden’s halting, incoherent answers on a lingering cold he caught while traveling to Europe twice last month.

Spokesman Andrew Bates said Mr. Biden, 81, was examined by his physician, just hours after the White House said he had not seen a doctor.

“Several days later, the president was seen to check on his cold and was recovering well,” Mr. Bates told CNN.

The claim that Mr. Biden was checked out by his doctor comes after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Mr. Biden hasn’t had any “medical exams” since his February physical.

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.
