President Joe Biden admitted he campaigned from his basement in 2020 during an interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, according to a transcript of his interview. He said during the interview: The pandemic had started to kick in, and so, I knew, if you notice, a — and I don’t blame them. They, they — the quick criticism of me, “Biden should go back in his tunnel and campaign from in his basement again.” But I — what we did, we set up a theater in Delaware where I could, I could go on television from, I could appear, I...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that while he thinks President Joe Biden “did well” in his State of the Union, he should stay in his basement like he did in 2020 because whenever he does interviews and press conferences, he messes up and looks like a “zombie” and the State of the Union was good because it was on a teleprompter and Biden only had to go off script every so often.

More than 74 migrant men have been living in a cramped basement below a furniture store in South Richmond Hill, Queens — where beds are so in-demand that only half can sleep there at one time, city officials said Tuesday. Fire prevention inspectors discovered the illegal subterranean boarding house Monday when they were called to 132-03 Liberty Ave. to investigate reports about a large collection of e-bike batteries, according to the FDNY. That’s when they found 40 migrants sleeping in the building’s basement — and realized that the true number of inhabitants was actually twice that. “A further probe revealed...

Florida Governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has withdrawn from planned appearances on two major Sunday political talk shows, CNN’s “State of the Union” and NBC’s “Meet The Press.” CNN’s spokesperson expressed disappointment but left the door open for future dialogues, stating on social media, “Unfortunately, tomorrow’s scheduled interview on CNN SOTU w/ Ron DeSantis was cancelled by the campaign. We look forward to having the Governor join us on the show in the near future.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a GOP candidate for president in 2024, on Sunday went after former President Trump for not showing up to the GOP debates, suggesting Trump was “adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy.” “With all due respect to Donald Trump, we’re not going to beat the Democrats by adopting Joe Biden’s basement strategy,” DeSantis said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Team #Desantis is having some issues... Specifically, the man on man showering thing. @ErinMPerrine-Communications Director for @NvrBackDown24 is on top of it

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will be the next governor of Arizona, barring a recount that says otherwise. And when the Democrat is sworn in, she’ll likely thank her handlers privately for their media strategy in getting her over the finish line after looking like the underdog going into Election Day against outspoken Republican Kari Lake. Hobbs embraced the same strategy that served Joe Biden as a candidate and continues to serve him as president: almost entirely avoiding the media, shunning any interviewer who may ask a tough question and rejecting the opportunity to debate an opponent. Hobbs did...

Lincoln Project founder Steve Schmidt said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was a “villainous figure” who should be “locked in a basement office until he wishes to testify.” Discussing McCarthy not cooperating with the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot on the U.S. Capitol, Schmidt said, “What Kevin McCarthy has become is this villainous figure that is among the most villainous figures that have been in the history of the American republic. He has played a profoundly important role over this last year through the lying, through the cover-up, of poisoning...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former first lady Melania Trump’s online auction was “basement, tacky-type stuff.” Trump’s “Head of State Collection” includes a white hat, digital and watercolor paintings, and one-of-a-kind signed items.

President Biden left the White House before noon Friday for a long weekend at his beach house and kept out of sight as the FDA rejected his push for COVID-19 vaccine “booster” shots, the Pentagon admitted it killed Afghan civilians and France recalled its ambassador. Biden didn’t speak with reporters about the trio of political debacles during the less than two-hour trip to his Rehoboth Beach, Del., mansion — or after he arrived. In a forever stain on Biden’s chaotic Afghanistan pullout, the Pentagon admitted it mistakenly killed 10 innocent civilians... ...Biden has made 21 trips to his homes in...

An elderly German man is facing a suspended prison sentence for storing a WWII tank, anti-aircraft gun and torpedo in his basement. The case is moving through a German court, after Germany's army was called in to remove the tank and other weaponry from the 84-year-old's home in 2015. According to man's lawyer, a US museum is keen to buy the 1943 Panther tank, which weighs 50,000 kilograms and measures 6.7 metres long. Authorities were alerted to the remarkable collection after the home in the wealthy town of Heikendorf, a suburb of Kiel, was searched during an investigation into stolen...

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has avoided public appearances for days as some members of his own party call for him to resign over sexual harassment allegations. The governor hasn’t taken questions from reporters since a Feb. 19 briefing, an unusually long gap for a Democrat whose daily, televised updates on the coronavirus pandemic were must-see TV last spring. He was last before video cameras Thursday, when he introduced President Joe Biden at a virtual meeting of the National Governor’s Association, which he chairs. He also participated Tuesday in the group’s conference call, which was off-limits...

As Joe Biden fails to provide much needed aid to Texans in a timely manner, some have pointed out the stark contrast between this and President Trump’s speedy response to national crises. Take a look.

President Biden is unlikely to meet in-person with a foreign leader for "a couple of months," press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday. "I would anticipate for all of you that it will be a couple of months before the president invites a foreign leader to meet in person here at the White House," Psaki said at a news briefing. The comments are the first glimpse of a timeline the White House has given of when Biden might resume in-person meetings with foreign leaders as the coronavirus pandemic rages on. Biden has held calls with numerous foreign leaders since taking...

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden appeared to forget the name of the Great Recession while also getting confused about the economic stimulus package he oversaw while serving as Barack Obama's Vice President during a speech on Saturday. **SNIP** But when Biden went on to compare the current situation to the Great Recession, the global economic downturn that occurred between 2007 and 2009, the presidential nominee appeared to stumble over its name, while also getting confused about the size of the stimulus package he oversaw. "You may remember, when we went through this with the Great... with the uh, that, that,...

by Samantha Foster Joe Biden spent a mere 6 hours in the state of Florida yesterday -- and the only thing he had to show for it was a cringey pandering embarrassment at a "Latino Outreach" meeting -- playing "Despacito" on his cell phone and becoming a national joke all day Wednesday. So understandably, tired and humiliated, he retreated to his basement, where he spent the day. No appearances. No press conference. No questions. (in other words, like most of Joe's days.) So the campaign figured it could change the subject by sending his wife Jill Biden to New...

by Joe Callen Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden (D) has abandoned the campaign trail once again, with the election just 55 days away. After a disastrous campaign trip to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Biden met with sexual abuser Jacob Blake Jr. and his racist, anti-Semitic father, Biden went to Pennsylvania to meet with union workers. In Kenosha, it was revealed Team Biden was planting questions in their audience, after one of the women refused to "go off this paper" she was given. Biden drifted, and mumbled and whispered creepily, and couldn't wait to get out of town. In Pennsylvania, Biden...

Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, allegedly emerged from his basement bunker to celebrate Memorial Day with his doctor wife, Jill Biden.A man purporting to be Biden was photographed wearing a black mask in New Castle, Delaware, provoking questions about the former vice president's capacity to serve as commander in chief. Some questioned whether the so-called "proof of life" outing was actually a proof of lie outing. "It is very good dem strategy to have Joe Biden in a mask at all times because it muffles what he is saying and it's easier to swap in the body...

Joe Biden’s campaign plans to double-down on its strategy in the final two months of the campaign, ramping up the argument that President Trump owns the coronavirus response and record-high unemployment facing the nation. During the all-important post Labor Day stretch, Biden plans to hit the road, as he has started to do in recent days, traveling to key swing states to hammer home those arguments. They also want to underscore a message casting Trump as a reprehensible president unfit to lead the country or command the troops, something Biden signaled at a press conference Friday. Biden campaign aides and...
