House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer, in separate private meetings with President Biden last week, told Biden his continued candidacy imperils the Democratic Party’s ability to control either chamber of Congress next year.

In a separate one-on-one conversation, a person close to Biden told the president directly that he should end his candidacy, saying that was the only way to preserve his legacy and save the country from another Trump term, the person said. The president responded that he adamantly disagreed with that opinion and that he is the best candidate to defeat Trump. The

Part of me just wants to order more popcorn, but there’s so much at stake that it’s hard to just view this as a sport, even if at the moment the good guys look like they’re winning.

The referees and replay officials can interfere at any time.

Unless the first days of Trumps presidency is characterized by thousands of arrests of top democrats, their enablers, and money handlers, this is all political theater.

President Biden trails ‘nearly every’ other Dem, including Kamala Harris, in disastrous poll

NY Post ^ | July 17, 2024 | Josh Christenson and Victor Nava

President Biden trails “nearly every” Democrat tested as an alternative party leader with voters — including Vice President Kamala Harris — in seven critical battleground states, according to a disastrous new poll.

A BlueLabs Analytics polling memo distributed to Democratic Party — which interviewed more than 15,000 voters in important swing states, including Pennsylvania — found that alternative candidates have an average three-point lead on the 81-year-old commander-in-chief.

“Nearly every tested Democrat performs better than the President. This includes Vice President Kamala Harris who runs better than the President,” the survey concluded.

Let's Go Brandon! Make sure the DNC is "Ridin' with Biden!"

I believe the DemMarxists would/will do anything to retain power and subjugate us into a new slavery with death of some kind as the final goal. We’ve already seen what they are capable of. They control most of the centers of power and influence in our nation. We must stay vigilant and not become complacent. We truly live in scary times. It seems evil is ascending the world over but certainly in our country. The good news is that God is still our refuge and strength. America may go the way of other earthly powers but there’s a kingdom coming that no one has the power to stop. For now, we live to fight another day and work and pray that Trump will have the needed votes to win in Nov.

I was lurking on DU today for a dose of shadenfroid and those loons are mostly pro Biden and totally freaking out about the efforts of the communist DP to boot Biden. They are raging over how “one bad debate” could end up with Pedo Joe being replaced . I don't think DP leadership realizes that once they jettison Biden it will make DP voters finally come to terms with having been blatantly lied too for years about his dementia.

The DP has pushed Biden worship so far that they will be extremely disappointed and angry when that their Dear Leader is deposed.

After the assassination attempt on President Trump the Democrats are back to telling Joe to resign. They are floundering all over the place.

Shuck Chumer is oblivious and unaware of his on detrimental contributions to our public sentiment. Not that he ever had any but I speak of rats and politics in general. Drain the Swamp!

The dems have just about given up keeping Trump from winning. Now their biggest concern is keeping the Republicans from taking over the Senate and the House and taking away all of their power.

I will always remember watching the lamestream media talking heads completely lose it when the election results came in during the Republican tidal wave elections in 1994 and 2010. Good times, good times.

Hopefully, we will get to watch it again this November.
