On Wednesday, CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones said 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris unnecessarily dodged some questions during her town hall with the network that night and “the word salad stuff gets on my nerves.” Jones said, “[T]here were flashes of the Kamala that I know, who is really a true public servant. She really does work for real people. In the back of her mind, she is trying to figure out, how do I solve the problem? She sometimes skips — even in person, she’ll sometimes skip the human part and get...

On Wednesday, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that when 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris “doesn’t want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to word salad city,” and she did that a few times during her town hall with CNN, including on Israel. Axelrod said that he thought that Harris’ performance at CNN’s town hall was “mixed” and “she was very strong coming out of the gate. And she obviously came with a purpose, which, she wanted to — they want to shine a focus on this...

VIDEOTDS is so powerful that it has already led to TWO assassination attempts since J13 as well as the official coverups of both events (looking at YOU, Chris Wray). In addition, TDS generally makes people act completely DERANGED in a laughable way so it does have certain entertaining fringe benefits. And now Democrat consultant David Axelrod admits that TDS is all too real.

Where’s Kam? It’s a question a growing number of Democrats are asking as the vice president is increasingly MIA on the campaign trail as the 2024 presidential contest enters its final month. “There’s a time at which you just have to barnstorm these battlegrounds,” Obama campaign guru David Axelrod told Politico. “These races are decathlons, and there are a lot of events, and you have to do all of them because people want to test you.” Axelrod said Harris needed to be doing more interviews, including with tougher audiences, and that voters were expecting to see more of her. While...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod stated that 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) “has had an interesting relationship with China.” And said that he expects Walz’s GOP counterpart, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), to go after both that and the Biden-Harris administration’s policies on the Middle East during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. Columnist, CNN Senior Political Commentator, and former Bush official Scott Jennings stated that the Biden-Harris stance towards Iran has been ineffective and they’re trying to get Israel to hold back.

Democrat Party operative David Axelrod took Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement of Donald Trump hard. The former campaign and White House adviser to Barack Obama took to social media to air his grievances over the scion of the premier Democrat political family endorsing the Republican standard bearer. “Robert F. Kennedy was my political hero,” Axelrod said. “He battled fiercely & eloquently against poverty, injustice and for economic fairness. Sadly RFK Jr, who made a rambling exit from the race today, proves that sometimes an apple DOES fall far from the tree…in this case, down a hill and over a cliff.”

Sunday, during CNN’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention, former Obama political adviser David Axelrod said if the election were today, it could go for Republican former President Donald Trump, despite Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris’ lead in some national polls. “David Axelrod, how encouraged should Democrats be?” host Anderson Cooper asked. “Is there a danger of them actually being kind of too euphoric?” “Yeah, I’ve been talking about this for some time,” Axelrod replied. “Look she has made extraordinary progress. We were all in Milwaukee a month ago, and there was euphoria there and a sense that this race...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Saturday on CNN’s “Newsroom Live” that there was a lot of “irrational exuberance” on the Democratic side of the aisle over Kamala Harris’ candidacy. Axelrod said, “His whole message has been built for two years now around strength. He’s strong. He’s the guy who can handle these problems, and so on, and now he’s got a younger and more agile opponent when it comes to debating, and he doesn’t want to debate. I don’t know that it’s a great look for him. I do think at the end of the day, he may feel...

Progressive-Left commentator gives an objective rundown of the day’s events. Even praising Trump for his “heroic” conduct. And thanking God he’s okay.

Saturday, during CNN’s coverage of an attempt to take the life of former President Donald Trump, CNN contributor Scott Jennings told his colleagues the hyperbole from media and Democrats about a potential second presidency has consequences. “Think about what you just said — we are one inch, one inch from something far more terrible tonight,” Jennings said. “I mean, the country is already shocked, and we are in bad need of healing and unity in this country, but we were one inch from something far worse. Republicans, I’m hearing from tonight, are shocked. They are worried about our country. They...

Despite everyone with functioning brains witnessing that an apparent assassination attempt just occurred on former President Donald Trump’s life on video, CNN instead ran a headline making it seem like tripped. Yes, you read that right.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Saturday on CNN’s coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump that he will be greeted as a “martyr” by supporters when he attends next week’s Republican National Convention. Axelrod said, “I think this is a bracing moment for our country, and hopefully a moment for reflection where everybody kind of pulls back from the abyss so we don’t see this as a recurring event.”

Democratic strategist David Axelrod warned that President Biden is “dangerously out of touch” with voters on the issue of his age and health following Biden’s highly anticipated sit-down interview on ABC News. “The president is rightfully proud of his record. But he is dangerously out-of-touch with the concerns people have about his capacities moving forward and his standing in this race,” Axelrod wrote in a post on the social platform X. “Years ago at this time, he was 10 points ahead of Trump. Today, he is six points behind.” Axelrod’s comments came shortly after Biden’s full interview with ABC News’s...

CNN senior political commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Friday on “OutFront” that President Joe Biden’s family advisers are “indulging hm” by telling him there is a path forward for his candidacy. Axelrod said, “I think that for those who care about the president, I’m sure his family does, but family advisers who are, I think, indulging him here by telling him that there’s a path forward. I think that there’s a terrible risk to this. I do think that this is a this will define him if he moves forward. He’s had an extraordinary career. I worked...

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod doubled down after President Biden reportedly called him a "pr---" and argued that the president has a "real problem" if he thinks he can "cheat nature." New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd defended Axelrod in a column published on Sunday, criticizing Biden for engaging in "petty feuds." "I don’t care about them thinking I’m a prick — that’s fine," Axelrod told Dowd. "I hope they don’t think the polls are wrong, because they’re not." Axelrod, who Dowd noted has defended Biden in the past, told Dowd that Biden thinks he can "cheat nature," drawing a...

The political strategist who propelled Joe Biden into the vice presidency in 2008 has suggested the president should consider exiting the 2024 race after another brutal poll. David Axelrod pointed to Sunday polling from The New York Times and Siena College that shows the 80-year-old trialing behind Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. 'Only Joe Biden can make this decision. If he continues to run, he will be the nominee of the Democratic Party,' Axelrod said on X, formerly Twitter. 'What he needs to decide is whether that is wise; whether it's in HIS best interest or...

CNN political analyst David Axelrod said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that House Republicans who want to impeach President Joe Biden were not serious people. Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “The White House says it’s for Republicans to decide whether to go ahead and try to impeach President Biden. What do you make of that strategy to deflect away from this escalation by House Republicans?”

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) in a new interview predicts that GOP lawmakers will demand a vote to impeach President Biden “every week” if Republicans take control of the House in the midterms. Kinzinger, a frequent critic of former President Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill, compared previous efforts by congressional Republicans to what he predicts “crazies” will attempt to do under a GOP majority. “Back before we had all the crazies here — just some crazies — you know, every vote we took, we had to somehow defund ObamaCare. … You’ll remember, right when we took over it was...

The White House claims it only learned of the FBI’s stunning raid on former President Trump’s home in Florida on Twitter, at the same time the media did, according to multiple reports. As improbable as it may seem that the Department of Justice would execute a search warrant on a former president and political opponent of the administration without Biden’s knowledge, that’s what New York Times reporter Jonathan Martin tweeted Monday night. Trump was not home during the raid at the mansion known as Mar-a-Lago. “Senior White House officials found out about the FBI’s Mar a Lago raid on Twitter,...

The 2024 presidential race has been a burning question for Democrats, with no clear heir to Biden and many party members skeptical of whether the president could or should run for a second term. "If the president were not to run, it’s...
