A blistering new report is claiming that Sen.Chuck Schumer was literally crying after some political posturing. ... Schumer met with Biden on July 13 (just a little over a week before Biden formally withdrew) and the agenda was simple: convince Joe Biden to withdraw from his re-election bid. “If there were a secret ballot among Democratic senators, Mr. Schumer would tell the president, no more than five would say he should continue running,” ... Biden was apparently kept in the dark about his re-election chances by his own team. ... Schumer couched his pleas with a veiled threat. “If you...

During his speech at the Democratic National Convention, President Biden attempted to gaslight the American people about his administration’s position on school closures during the pandemic. “Kamala and I helped states and cities get back their schools back open,” he yelled. But as X account Libs of TikTok reminded, Democrats attacked former President Donald Trump for arguing schools need to be reopened, especially because COVID-19 posed very little risk to children. “During the pandemic Kamala and I helped states and cities get back their schools back open” - Joe Biden Now look at this DNC ad from 2020 attacking Trump...

We head to Chicago on a wave of euphoria, exuberance, exultation, excitement and even, you might say, ecstasy. It’s going to be a glorious coronation — except that everyone’s mad at one another. Top Democrats are bristling with resentments even as they are about to try to put on a united front at the United Center in the Windy City. A coterie of powerful Democrats maneuvered behind the scenes to push an incumbent president out of the race. It wasn’t exactly “Julius Caesar” in Rehoboth Beach. But it was a tectonic shift and, of course, there were going to be...

It's a 'very emotional time for him and he isn't showing it,' said one doctor, also perceiving a 'lack of conviction' After President Joe Biden’s address to the nation Wednesday night, multiple doctors shared their opinions with Fox News Digital about his perceived health status based on his live speech. ... Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and a Fox News medical contributor — who has never treated the president — noted that Biden seemed to be reading from a teleprompter on Wednesday night, as he often does, making it difficult for those watching...

Joe Biden refused to resign on Wednesday, but finally explained his decision to begrudgingly "pass the torch" after losing a bitter power struggle with Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats who forced him to end his bid for reelection. Speaking from the Oval Office, surrounded by family and loved ones, Biden praised his accomplishments, as well as his selfless decision to withdraw from the race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Even though he clearly didn't want to, Biden congratulated himself for having the courage to "unite my party" and "defend democracy" by stepping aside. "I believe my record as...

He's got big issues. A very deep bruise on his lower left jaw (screen right) which changes his speech pattern, creating even more slurring. He has a bruise over his left eye, directly on the socket where the eyelid folds. And he has lower tooth pain, likely also taking numbing meds, that's why he looks like he just had a root canal. Something happened.

President Biden has canceled nine trips that were scheduled for the next two weeks after suddenly dropping out of the 2024 race, The Post can reveal. Biden was scheduled to leave Monday for the West Coast, where he was to make stops in California, Denver, Houston and Austin – but all of those trips have been suddenly canceled, a White House source told The Post. Biden, who has been isolating with COVID-19, was set to leave his home in Rehoboth, Del., on Monday, but extended his stay until Wednesday after announcing the end of his campaign the night before.

3:17 Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reportedly gave President Joe Biden an ultimatum: bow out of the presidential race “the easy way or the hard way.” Politico reported Monday, a day after Biden’s announcement that he would step aside as the presumptive 2024 Democrat presidential nominee, that the former Speaker and still top Democrat powerbroker put her foot down after weeks of Biden publicly insisting he would plow forward with his campaign despite major fallout from his disastrous debate performance on June 27. “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” one...

President Joe Biden’s health “absolutely” played a role in him stepping aside, Frank Biden said Sunday, noting he wants to “enjoy whatever time we have left” with the 81-year-old. The statement by Frank Biden, who is the brother of Joe Biden and plays a part in the Biden family business, raised eyebrows as to the status of Biden’s health. “Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero,” he told CBS News. “In my humble opinion, absolutely,” Frank said when asked if Joe Biden’s health played a role in him stepping...

-snip- The rumors began with the form of Biden’s withdrawal from the race. On Sunday at 1:46 p.m. EDT, the Joe Biden X account published an image of a letter in which Joe states that “it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” It was a splendid 21st-century moment that Biden announced his own political demise on a social media platform, but it also raised questions, chief of which was: “Where’s Joe?” -snip- Shouldn’t Biden...

COMMENT: A friend of mine insisted I read you because you have real experience. I tuned in only so I could argue with my friend. I raise the white flag. You said they would only allow Biden to be on the ticket and nobody else because he would drop out after the RNC event, and they would draft someone for August. You said we do not live in a democracy but a republic, and we are no different than Russia giving 71-year-old ladies prison time for a protest. I guess that is like Russia. You even said they would try...

On Monday, Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. Biden’s sudden decision to drop out of the race did not come through a press conference or an official White House press release but rather from a post on X from Biden’s X account that contained a letter without an official presidential seal. Biden’s campaign staffers were completely blindsided by Joe Biden’s announcement to drop out of the 2024 race. ‘None of us understand what’s happening,” a staffer told Politico. “We’re all finding out by tweet.” Shortly after Biden’s announcement letter was released, several...

oe Biden’s presidency is over. The old man can’t hack it, announcing earlier this afternoon that he’s exiting the race, endorsing Kamala Harris, his vice president, and finishing the rest of his term in isolation. But where is the president? A tweet of his ‘I quit’ letter was released, which did not sit well with many folks, and then nothing. We’re left to speculate what is going on with Joe Biden, and none of it is good. What the hell https://t.co/aOz5gaMyX0— umichvoter 🏳️‍🌈 (@umichvoter) July 21, 2024Frank Biden came forward to say that his brother’s health definitely played a role...
