President Joe Biden informed House and Senate Democrats that he would be staying in the presidential race as the Democratic nominee in a letter Monday morning. This letter follows on the heels of calls for the president to step down after a disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump last month.
Biden’s “old and weak” demeanor in the presidential debate hosted by CNN inflamed an already growing public relations “nightmare” for the Biden/Harris Campaign, whose polling numbers against Trump were already tenuous due, in part, to videos in which the president appeared lost and forgetful at fundraisers and international ceremonies
According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, over 80% of Americans believe that Biden is too old to seek reelection.
Replacements suggested by leading liberal officials, journalists, and pundits include Vice President Kamala Harris, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
This letter to congressional Democrats isn’t Biden’s first rebuttal against the growing calls for his resignation.
On a July 5 rally in Madison, Wisconsin, Biden stated that he would defeat Trump “in 2020,” appearing to misspeak as he attempted to claim he would win reelection in 2024.
Biden’s letter cited the Democratic primaries, where Democrats chose him to be their nominee for president.
“Do we now just say this process didn’t matter? That the voters don’t have a say? I decline to do that,” he wrote.
Biden resolved in his conclusion to defeat “Trump and the MAGA Republicans.”
He has to wait until the convention, at least. He is merely tempering things down until then. If he steps down now, they get Kamalamaladingdong. He waits until at or after the convention, the DNC executive committee gets to choose. My $$$ is still on Big Mike.
Quotes:
Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, describes what happened after a teacher called her brother “Mr. Buh-buh-buh Biden” as he recited an assignment in class.
Their mother, she says, marched Biden back to school and confronted his teacher head-on: “‘Sister, did you make fun of my son? … if you ever, ever, ever do that again, I’m going to come back and I’m going to knock your bonnet right off your head. Do we understand each other?’”
If you need to send that letter, you are not going to be the nominee.
I’m still convinced that the Left had a ‘great plan’, as why else propose the early debate.
BUT, apparently they didn’t see a need to check with Biden himself and there still seems to be enough of him left to hold out, for now.
That’s right taterhead....you tell ‘em!...dig in!
Fetterwoman is on your side!
This is freaking hilarious 😂
There is just not enough pop corn in the world for this....
Great news!
I wonder who actually wrote the letter. Not Joe, not his “staff” (now viewed with suspicion)…Valerie? Drjill? Frank? Hunter on blow?
Leave the guy alone. He wants to run. The Almighty wants him to run. Trump wants his non cognitive ass as his dead meat opponent. What’s the problem? Hang in there, Brandon. We need ya
They assumed Biden was still in control of his bowels enough to make it through and early debate and wipe the floor with Trump.
There would be no 2nd debate because the Judge in NYC would have him in prison by then, so they saw it as a win-win, now it blew up in their faces and they have no idea how to handle it.................
Obama.........................
They have no reliable way to get rid of him without making Harris POTUS................
Yup. She checks all the Dems boxes. Tranny woman. Black. Obama puppet.
Biden made a comment in the Stefanopolis interview that Trump hasn’t ever been hit the way he is about to be. I think he knows, has encouraged, Mershan to sentence Trump to jail time, which he thinks will break support for Trump.
When Hillary ran against Trump, she didn’t even campaign. “It’s as if...” she was convinced the cheating Democrat apparatus she knew would win it for her.
She didn’t even campaign.
Biden knows this as well - his refusal to step down only solidifies what we all knew... the last election was rigged.
He’s not stepping down because he knows he has a victory.
This proves that Trump won.
Is it possible that Grandma Biden went to the school and asked the nun not to mock Joey’s stutter? I’ll concede that it’s possible. Do I believe for one minute that she so colorfully threatened violence on a nun circa 1950? No way, no how. This is another Biden tall tale, cf. Joe intimidating Corn Pop.
I hope the leadership hacks and big donors rather up the pressure, but that Joe hangs tough. It’s so grand to see these vermin going at each other. If the upper echelon is to succeed, I think they have to get it done this week. Next week is the Republican convention, and I imagine this glorious dog fight will cool down, and it may be too late by week after next
It’s probably just as well. He’d probably fall down the steps and bus’ hiz azz.
