Biden 'is in denial about having to withdraw from 2024 race' - as insiders share details of another gaffe that's frightened donors
Daily Mail ^ | 7/06/24 | Melissa Koenig

Joe Biden is said to be in 'denial' about having to withdraw from the presidential election following his dismal debate performance last week, as some of his campaign donors become ever more worried about his mental acuity.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has insisted he is staying in the race amid calls from members of his own party to step aside and hand the reins over to a younger Democrat.

But even those who are publicly vouching for Biden have admitted in private that there is no path forward with him at the top of the ticket, according to the Washington Post.

A donor adviser has now estimated that 'for every 10 people who think he should exit, one thinks he should stay.'

Others have suggested that even Biden knows on some level that he is doomed.

'I think he's focused on recovering,' one person who spoke with the president on the Fourth of July told the Post.

'But I personally think he's still in the denial phase of grief.'

For five days after the debate, the president had only given 32 minutes of combined public comments - all of which were scripted.

At one of those appearances, at a $100million East Hampton mansion, donors were left stunned when Biden described a French cemetery in Normandy as 'Italian,' insiders said.

He then only spoke for six minutes before leaving without taking any questions.

Seriously, He repeatedly said he was running for US senate in 2020. Said he had the most sophisticated election fraud system in history. stopped talking, closed his eyes and put his head down on his note binder while taking questions on afghanistan 3 years ago. Joe has been senile for a long time, not to mention lies about things he just makes up. Lie about being top 10 percent of his law school class, about how “Syria and the US teamed up to kick hezbollah out of lebanon” during the debate with Palin. He is a lieing, evil, and now senile SOB, whose only problem is he is down in the polls so they have to kick him to the curb. The longer this goes on the more it seems intentional of sending him out there without the juice he normally gets and to do so earlier than ever before. If he was leading in the polls this whole story just would not exist.

[So, even you see that Biden will not get 2x as much as Trump. Also, you referred to donations to Biden. Not hypothetical donations to a hypothetical replacement of Biden.]


My projection wasn’t that Biden had but that he will outraise Trump 2 to 1. In the past several cycles, Democrat donors have always stepped up, given their man a leg up. In 2020, for instance, Biden outraised Trump by 50%.

For 2024, they have upped the hysteria, but this time, there’s a genuinely panicky feel not seen in prior cycles. Overwrought, but no less authentic, for all that. One side effect will likely be donors digging deeper than usual.

RE: Biden Is In Denial.

Biden: No I’m not. Never even been to Egypt. Well, now you can’t expect me to go out on that old gag so I’m staying. 😉

You go Brandon... just remember this...

There will be no “recovery” from either his health woes nor his disastrous debate performance.

Excellent, GOPJ!

The long and short of it is DC power ‘elites’ decided Biden can’t beat Trump so they’re dumping him.

Biden’s just as incompetent today, as he was 6 months or year ago. The press didn’t ‘open their eyes’ after all this time - they got new marching orders.

Brandon's core is evil. It has always gotten in the way of his ambitions. His handlers try to manage that now. He may be president but I doubt he has a lot of actual independent power. Unfortunately, his handlers are probably more evil than he is. Brandon knew the fix was in for the election in '20 and he knows something is underway to cripple Trump. Like you, I do not take lightly his sinister threats.

We learn in time there is no such thing as a "passing comment", something said in jest or a quip. If we have learned anything we know they all have meaning and betray what lies beneath the facade.

Again - that is not close to 2 times as much as Trump has raised.

“if Biden chooses to stick it out, nothing they can do.”

Seriously?

Ask JFK.

RFK.

MLK.

Malcolm X.

Vince Foster.

Ron Brown.

Bill Colby.

Seth Rich.

...and many dozens of others....

They have brainwashed you into believing that the rules matter.

They do not.
