Biden Plans to Address the Nation on Wednesday Night

President Biden plans to address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday night to explain his decision to bow out of the presidential campaign and outline how he wants to use his final six months in office.

Mr. Biden is scheduled to return to Washington on Tuesday afternoon for the first time since announcing his withdrawal on social media on Sunday. He spent six days at his vacation house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., recovering from Covid and recalibrating his political future.

In a post on social media announcing that his address would be at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Mr. Biden said he would discuss “what lies ahead, and how I will finish the job for the American people.” He made clear in a phone call to his old campaign headquarters on Monday that he was determined to use his remaining time in office to campaign vigorously for Vice President Kamala Harris and to advance domestic and foreign priorities. “I’m not going anywhere,” he said, a phrase he used three times in four minutes.

Mr. Biden has not been seen in public since late Wednesday, when he disembarked from Air Force One at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware looking frail and uncertain. He had just tested positive for Covid and was described as sick and coughing. The White House physician said on Monday that after days of treatment with Paxlovid, the president was recovering well and that his symptoms were “almost

completely resolved.”

While Mr. Biden said he planned to campaign for Ms. Harris, who was set to headline her first campaign rally as the putative Democratic nominee on Wednesday in Milwaukee, the president has canceled his travel schedule for the rest of the week. He plans to sit down at the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...

This is the exit speech.

They want Kamala to run with the ‘force and power’ of the POTUS office.

They want magazine covers wall to wall - first woman president. TIME, Newsweek, Glamour, etc etc. Will all have her face.

Then, if you oppose her you’re sexist AND racist!

Joe is done. He was done the minute Trump survived the attempted kill shot.

The Obamas have been working to figure out their position but they see it as a big win for Michelle. Kamala loses - opens door for 2028 as Trump is at the one-term age.

Unlikely Kamala will win but likely this was Biden and Kamala (Clinton’s gal) teaming up against Obama.

Kamala’s VP pick is the interesting thing to wargame.

I’m thinking white male from rust belt state.

He’s clearly unfit for the job, and cannot manage any kind of national crisis, but selfishly wants to keep his title and the perks of office. Its all about him.

Why wouldn’t they let him do a faceplant on the Oval Office desk?

Do you remember (know of) the Admiral Hargrade character from "Get Smart"? He was 91 years old and had to be straightened and untipped regularly. I think he may have done a face plant as well.Big difference is that the Admiral used to be competent, and was neither stupid nor mean.

As long as he doesn’t ad lib, Brandon still appears able to read short speeches from a teleprompter. Undoubtedly his handlers have been having him rehearse reading the speech since they wrote it.

The first reference to ‘bidEn’ is as president. But, then all the others, four of them, are to ‘Mr bidEn’.

Veddy interesting...

“I personally think we are witnessing major cracks in the US deep-state and ruling cabal”

**************

The DS and cabal have enormous resources at their disposal and they have the full support of the media. And half the country is OK with being run by the kleptocracy so they have little to fear. They are still firmly in control and don’t have to worry about an opposition party seriously challenging them. The GOP is gutless and they know it.

His whole term in office has been a national crisis.

Unforgiven, the Movie.... Ned propped up in a casket “decorating the doorway”. Maybe some nice dark red back drop, the grim reapers sickle, a hammer, and the teleprompter. Jill on one side, Kamala on the other.

“We’ve with Joe” Joe wants Kamala to win” “This message was brought to you by Insiders for Joe.

Frankly, if he was serious about helping Kamala and national security he should resign and let her be president.
