WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden spent more than a week in meetings and on phone calls addressing Democrats’ concerns about his candidacy with a positive, conciliatory message about his path forward. At times, he even sounded contrite about his uneven debate performance, which prompted calls for him to suspend his re-election campaign.
He took blunt questions about his mental acuity in stride. He smiled through suggestions from allies that he take a cognitive test or consider allowing someone younger to take his place on the Democratic ticket. He agreed that his supporters have legitimate concerns and promised to show them he’s up for the rigor of a presidential campaign and another four years in the White House.
Then he’d had enough.
In the past few days, Biden has started to privately convey a new message to Democrats: The conversation about my future is over, and I’m getting irritated that you’re not realizing that. Biden has called several prominent allies individually to tell them to spread the word.
“We think we’ve got a good plan to fight through this,” a senior Biden aide said.
Nearly three weeks since his rocky debate performance that shook his party, Biden is intent on shutting down dissent among Democrats in order to move forward and focus on defeating Donald Trump. And after hearing out his critics, he’s tightening his circle to those he‘s relied on the longest — and who support his path ahead.
Biden’s thinning patience for questions about his candidacy were on display as he campaigned Friday in Detroit telling a large, effusive crowd: “You made me the nominee. No one else. Not the press, not the pundits, not the insiders, not donors.” …

Does Joe have a food taster yet?
The leftists’ TV panels still quote that Kamala would lead in some states that Biden is now trailing in. So we want Joe to stay the course and keep the Dems in writhing turmoil over it. Their pumping up of Kamala’s total awesomeness would gain votes for her.
(Admit it’s hypocritical of me to also say Joe is a threat to leave us in danger of WWIII. Sorry.)
Yeah. But that didn’t stop Adolf from offing him.
What a bull**** biased article! Trying to make Biden sound like a statesman. More accurate reports say he was defiant and arguing with everyone at that meeting.
Any given speech you hear him accusing, shouting, and angry. In addition to exaggerating and downright lying. Gee, how inspiring.
Gitmo needs a geriatric block.
Paranoia and sundowning combined…
Can’t he pardon him now?
Joe Biden is watching “his plantation folk” turn around, and forget him.
Joe Biden is so envious of Donald J. Trump, who is so beloved by Americans.
Here stands a rich man, with more money than President Jill will ever have. A rich man who put down his money, unlike Joe -making Joe look bad, for the sake of his country.
Fegelein!
FEGELEIN,
FEGELEIN,
FEGELEIN!!
Sorry, just had to.

What will Hunter do to live and make a living when Joe and Jill are nothing?
The Democrats are in total disarray. Complete lack of leadership and focus. I find it fascinating. They’re usually like the Borg.

So the ticket is now firmly in place. Here we have Joey “Bunker Biden” and “Heels Up” Harris, (America’s One Night Stand).
These two dummies are going to take on Trump and JD?...Fabulous!
oe wants to wait for the other Hunter Trial to conclude to see if he needs to pardon that conviction too.
**************
Yeah but as I said he can pardon him now for that trial and any future trial.
Oh, I put the 90% of the blame on Clyburn. All of Joe and Jill’s ambition and greed would have gotten them nowhere without clyburn’s intervention
Two morons who think they’re tough. They’re not tough, they just have thick heads.
Come on, man. I can’t wait until “DARK” Joe starts punching people...random people. That would be worth a pay-per view.
And Pelosi is the Borg queen.
I guess he was screaming and ranting during his Nevada NAACP teleprompter reading.
Harris can’t figure out how the 25th works. Like most Biden appointees, she’s totally incompetent in her job. Americans are just supposed to accept failure. It’s more equitable.
