Longtime allies of former President Barack Obama are pouncing on President Joe Biden as he and his family fight to maintain power within the White House. Biden and his campaign have insisted that the president is not going anywhere, despite deafening calls for him to end his reelection bid from fellow Democrats. His defiance has not done much to mute the critics within his own party. Individuals in Obama’s orbit are increasingly piling on, arguing that Biden should step aside due to his age and mental decline. Perhaps the biggest domino yet fell Wednesday, when Democratic donor and actor George...

Sen. John Fetterman doubled down in his support of President Biden after his ABC interview Friday, condemning efforts by his fellow Democrats to shove the octogenarian commander-in-chief out of the race. “Democrats need to get a spine or grow a set — one or the other. Joe Biden is our guy,” Fetterman said in a terse posting on X. The terse comment reiterated the Pennsylvania ragamuffin as a ride-or-die for Biden, even as a growing number of elected Democrats moved to abandon him after his disastrous debate against Donald Trump last week. “I’m unwilling to discard a great president, a...

President Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person ever to hold the office, has displayed signs of accelerated aging in recent months, said numerous aides, foreign officials, members of Congress, donors and others who have interacted with Biden over the last 3½ years, noting that he moves more slowly, speaks more softly and has moments when he loses his train of thought more often than even just a year ago.

Another major city newspaper has called on President Biden to abandon his re-election bid following his highly criticized debate performance against former President Trump last week. The Boston Globe editorial board published a column Wednesday arguing that at this point, Biden running for office is too big of a risk, and that he must step aside soon so that a more suitable Democratic candidate can be nominated.

The bedwetting brigade is calling for Joe Biden to “drop out.” That is the best possible way for Donald Trump to win and us to lose. First of all: Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly. And if he were to drop out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal foodfighting, and a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention, all while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested. All of that would be in service of a nominee...

President Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, touching down at LAX as the sun rose, later to be surrounded by stars. Wearing a black baseball cap bearing the presidential seal, sneakers and a dark blazer with no tie, Biden hustled down Air Force One’s ramp and into his motorcade as dawn broke. Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, accompanied him. With former President Barack Obama rolling in to help buoy the glitzy fund-raiser, Biden was scheduled to share a Downtown L.A. stage with Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a big-money Hollywood-style event aiming to reel millions for...

Few people were reportedly in attendance at a Joe Biden rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday, despite Pennsylvania being an important swing state for him to win.Photos showing vast spaces of emptiness at the Philadelphia rally began to circulate on Wednesday from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson.“Photos from President Biden’s Philadelphia rally: the school’s gym is only about half full of supporters A good amount of space is empty and spacious press workspace takes up the rest,” Nelson noted on X.Pennsylvania represents one of the many swing states Biden would have to win to defeat former President Trump in November....

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is planning to virtually nominate President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee ahead of their convention in August. DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison issued a statement on Tuesday in which he explained that the Democrat Party would be taking matters into their own hands and holding a “virtual roll,” in order to ensure that Biden appears on the ballot in all 50 states, according to the Hill.

Hollywood elites are planning to throw more money at President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, with a star-studded fundraiser reportedly being planned for mid-June that will feature George Clooney and former President Barack Obama. The shindig will also feature former Disney boss Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is Biden’s campaign co-chair, according to an Axios report. Julia Roberts might attend the event, unnamed sources told the outlet. Hollywood remains one of Biden’s most loyal constituencies even as his popularity has plummeted with ordinary Americans who must deal with record consumer prices and unprecedented levels of illegal immigration that is swamping cities around the...

An advocacy group based in Northeastern Mexico that lobbies U.S. lawmakers has distributed and posted flyers encouraging illegal immigrants to vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, according to The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. Translated from Spanish, the Oversight Project notes, the flyers posted by the organization Resource Center Matamoros say: “Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open.” (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s news and commentary outlet.)

Flyers instructing illegal immigrants to vote for Joe Biden in the forthcoming U.S. election have been reportedly distributed at a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Mexico, according to an investigation by The Oversight Project, a watchdog initiative linked to the Heritage Foundation. The controversial flyers were discovered scattered around the Resource Center Matamoras (RCM), an establishment known for aiding migrants. Some of these were even found on the walls inside port-a-potties at the location. These flyers were discovered by @realmuckraker throughout the Resource Center Matamoras (RCM) location including on the walls of port-a-potties They also appear to be handed out when...

Migrants at the United States-Mexico border say they “want [President Joe] Biden to win” the 2024 presidential election, while others hope to get released into the nation’s interior before election day — knowing their chances will be nearly eliminated under a second term of former President Donald Trump. In interviews with The Free Press’s Peter Savodnik, migrants waiting to cross the southern border said they vastly prefer Biden to Trump in this year’s election, primarily because they say their chances of being freed into the U.S. interior are high with the current administration.

(The Center Square) – A majority of Americans disapprove of the job President Joe Biden is doing, according to a new poll. The Center Square Voter’s Voice poll released Wednesday asked voters, “When it comes to President Joe Biden, do you approve or disapprove of how he’s handling his job?” The survey found that most voters disapprove of the job Biden is doing, with 55% saying so and only 45% saying they approve of the president’s work. Women rate the president better, giving him a 47% approval rating while 52% disapprove. Men, though, are less impressed, with only 41% approving...

Hillary Clinton says it’s time for Americans to just accept that President Biden is old — but vote for him anyway. “Somebody the other day said to me: ‘Well, but, you know, Joe Biden’s old,'” the former secretary of state recalled during a Super Tuesday interview on “Mornings with Zerlina.” “I said, ‘You know what, Joe Biden is old. Let’s go ahead and accept the reality. Joe Biden is old,'” Clinton said of the 81-year-old commander-in-chief. Still, Clinton urged voters to still back Biden, saying that mushrooming fears over the oldest-ever president — who would be 86 at the end...

Washington is abuzz with fresh concerns about President Joe Biden’s fitness after a special counsel report released Thursday raised questions about his memory. But Democrats have rallied around Biden and despite the fantasies of some pundits and anxious Democrats, the president is almost certain to be the Democratic Party’s nominee as long as he wants. Both parties have moved away from the era when insiders in proverbial smoke-filled rooms could be kingmakers at the national conventions, and Biden has dominated every primary he’s competed in thus far. No prominent Democrats have called for Biden to step aside and there's no...

From a political point of view, Thursday’s Special Counsel report is a perfect storm of bad news for His Fraudulency Joe Biden and an equally perfect storm of good news for former President Donald Trump. Trump could not have asked for a better outcome than the one delivered by Special Counsel Robert Hur. We’ll take these one by one: Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing...

David Letterman is certainly enchanted by Taylor Swift‘s relationship with a particular football player… or Frasier star?! According to The Daily Mail, the late night legend shared his support for the pop star and Travis Kelce‘s high-profile relationship on Instagram, but he didn’t quite get it right. “Taylor Swift — I don’t think in the history of show business, in the history of pop culture, we’ve ever witnessed anything like this,” he explained, deeming her work “tremendous.” While highlighting that Swift “fills stadiums around the world [and] puts on a three-hour show,” he proceeded to argue that “we live in...

What is the best collective noun to use in describing a gathering of former and current Democrat presidents? The world might be about to find out because a first-of-its-kind fundraiser is being mooted to benefit President Joe Biden, with the 2024 presidential race aspirant destined to share a stage with predecessors Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. At least, that is the plan, an NBC News report details.

John Kerry, President Biden’s high-flying climate czar, will leave his post later this winter to focus on his boss’s re-election campaign. The 80-year-old former secretary of state and onetime Democratic presidential candidate – who has drawn criticism for his luxe jet-setting while preaching energy austerity for the masses – told his staff of his imminent departure after speaking with Biden Wednesday, Axios reported Saturday. The administration has not chosen a replacement for Kerry, who has been Biden’s top climate diplomat since 2021, source familiar with the situation told Reuters. Kerry has not taken an official job in Biden’s re-election, but...

President Biden received a rude welcome from swing-state voters who mercilessly heckled him during a Friday trip to Pennsylvania. The 81-year-old commander in chief was met with shouts of “Go home, Joe!” and “You’re a loser!” by residents of an Allentown-area house as he walked into a bicycle store, according to a pool report. Hours later, protesters opposed to Biden’s support for the Israeli offensive against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip vowed that he’d pay the price at the ballot box in November. “We will remember in November,” the group chanted near a firefighter training center — also adding,...
