Joe Biden sat down with George Stephanopoulos on Friday for an in depth interview following his predictable mental collapse during the first 2024 presidential debate against President Donald Trump. * * * On Saturday, The New York Times reported that a Wisconsin fundraiser for Joe Biden has been cancelled.

[snip] The panic right now may be at least somewhat unique to the D.C. political bubble. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) told HuffPost on Wednesday that his Houston office has only received 12 calls about Biden since the debate, and the sentiment was evenly split. Six callers said they wanted Biden to step aside, and six said they wanted him to stay in the race, even though it’s a district that reliably votes Democrat. “The piling on is causing a good many people that I’ve talked to to believe that President Biden is not being treated fairly,” Green said. “Everybody knows...

She’s served more than three years as first lady, but after President Biden’s stunningly shaky debate performance and subsequent calls for him to step down, Jill Biden — and her potential power — are suddenly being thrust into the spotlight like never before. “It seems to be a make-or-break moment for the president, and I would say that Jill Biden will be there at every turn,” said Katherine Jellison, an expert on first ladies and professor of U.S. women’s and gender history at Ohio University. Biden’s role in her husband’s campaign and decision-making process came into sharper focus last week,...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Official White House sources confirmed Monday that President Biden's State Department had contacted several enemy nations to politely ask that they would only consider attacking the United States between Biden's waking hours of 10:00 am to 4:00 pm EST. According to State Department officials, the request was sent to China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, as well as a few miscellaneous Islamic terrorist groups and insurgencies. "Dear Enemies of the USA," reads the memo in part. "On behalf of President Biden, we kindly ask that — in the event that you feel like you really just...

The recent debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was a political disaster of gloriously epic proportions. Biden's performance was so bad that his own party is now in panic mode, scrambling to find a way to push him out. It’s like watching a sinking ship, and the crew is frantically trying to find the lifeboats. But before we get too excited, let's remember: this could actually be bad news for the GOP. The Democratic political machine, a well-oiled juggernaut with billions at its disposal, is primed to rally behind a new candidate without missing a beat. Biden might be...

Forty-one percent of Democrat voters want President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, a Monday USA Today/Suffolk University poll found, while only 51 percent want him to remain on the ticket. The poll represents one of the first post-debate polls that Democrat operatives and donors will study to determine the total damage to Biden’s candidacy following his debate performance. By a five-to-one ratio, the poll found former President Donald Trump won the exchange. Only 28 percent of Biden supporters said he won. Only 24 percent of Democrats said the debate increased their support for Biden, while nine...

President Joe Biden made his first major appearance since his panic-inspiring debate performance Monday to give brief remarks on the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision that was released earlier in the day. Biden spoke for five minutes, from a teleprompter, on the court finding that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for “official acts” taken in office. After Biden criticized the decision, calling it a “dangerous precedent,” he quickly left without taking a single question as reporters shouted inquiries his way. “Mr. President, will you drop out of the race?” one reporter can be heard shouting. Another seemingly asked how...

After arguably one of the most disastrous televised debate performances in American history, President Biden’s campaign continues to try to reset the nagging narrative that he shouldn’t run the country until he’s 86 years old. And while there’s plenty to bolster the position the president doesn’t have another four years in him (from a Post poll saying 82% of people don’t think Biden should run to evidence that all he can handle is a six-hour workday), the re-election effort is nonetheless trying to convince media and the country that none of what they saw Thursday night mattered. At a Saturday...

Chamath Palihapitiya & David Sacks react to Biden's performance at the Thursday CNN presidential debate .. My honest takeaway is that that person is no longer really in charge. ... DAVID SACKS: Let's just put it plainly. The Democratic Party is a collection of interests who want to remain in power. The Democratic Party is the party of government. Its goal is to allocate money and power from the government to the collection of interest who backed the Democratic Party. In other words, it's basically a collection of, of interests who want to loot the Republic. Well, obviously, no one's...

President Biden’s debate debacle has giddy New York and New Jersey GOP leaders believing former President Donald Trump could be the first Republican to win their states in four decades. Even if carrying the blue states is a longshot, party insiders and independent analysts expect Trump will do strongly enough in the suburbs that he can help Republican House incumbents defend seats they won in 2022 – and maybe even make gains. “Trump can win New York just like Ronald Reagan did in 1980,” said New York State Republican Party chairman Ed Cox. A recent Siena College poll had Trump...

Joe Biden’s abysmal debate performance has revived talk about the possibility that Democrats will replace him on the ticket. The common refrain among every fake media head, from CNN to MSNBC, was that high-level Democrats are in full-on panic. Given moments like the following, we can fully understand why: This was the moment the debate ended. Biden: "Making sure we make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with covid, excuse me, with umm dealing with everything we had to deal with. Look, we finally beat medicare." While the left is panicking, many on the...

The American media has weighed in on Joe Biden's disastrous presidential debate and joined the growing calls for him to step down. Biden is set to discuss the future of his re-election campaign this weekend amid the fallout of of Thursday's trainwreck debate performance. But if the liberal media has finally caved on the 81-year-old president, his options may be limited. Polls indicate that even fewer voters believe Biden is prepared for another four years in The White House after they witnessed his mental and physical fitness appeared to have deteriorated. Liberal Media giants have added fuel to fire by...

Democratic Party leaders desperately pleaded with rank and file committee members to not abandon President Joe Biden despite his train wreck debate performance. During a secret call after the CNN debate in Atlanta on Thursday, DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison and Biden's campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez tried to quell concerns over the President's viability as their 2024 candidate. But those on the call claim leaders are gaslighting them and asking them to ignore obvious signs of mental decline. They believe that Biden, 81, might not be the best one for the job anymore. With just a month-and-a-half until the Democratic...

Joe Biden's close aides have carefully shielded him from people inside and outside the White House since the beginning of his presidency. Why it matters: The intermittent access has resulted in many current and former White House aides being shocked at the 81-year-old president's limitations at the debate Thursday night. Driving the news: Current and former White House aides are feeling whiplash — and now questioning whether Biden could fulfill a second term.

It was like something out of a Tom Wolfe novel, or worthy of Marie Antionette’s “let them eat cake!” contempt for the common folk that precipitated the French Revolution. In Minute One of the presidential debate Thursday night, the Democratic party and the entire class of mainstream media sycophants and pundits were exposed as conspirators in a “Big Lie” – the gaslighting of the American public that President Biden was not only mentally fit but better and wiser than ever for a second term when they knew that was false. Pres. Biden’s performance at the debate this past week was...

Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week made it impossible to deny his senility, yet the Western elite is gaslighting they were supposedly oblivious to this until now. Time Magazine published a piece titled “Inside Biden’s Debate Disaster and the Scramble to Quell Democratic Panic”, which was complemented by CNN’s about how “Foreign diplomats react with horror to Biden’s dismal debate performance”.Both make it seem like Biden’s senility is a surprise for everyone who knew him.The reality is that they knew about this all along but covered it up by lying that any claims to this effect were “Russian propaganda” and/or...

President Biden was pictured stepping off Marine One in the Hamptons Saturday afternoon while clutching wife Jill Biden’s arm — just two days after he made a frail showing at his first 2024 debate against Donald Trump. Biden, 81, and the first lady put up a united front at Francis S. Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach, down to their coordinating blue-hued ensembles. The couple is set to appear at a star-studded fundraiser at the home of hedge-fund billionaire Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is expected to discuss the future of his re-election campaign with family on Sunday, following a nationally televised debate Thursday that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump in November, according to five people familiar with the matter.

The View cohosts have changed course — and are urging President Joe Biden to do the same — when it comes to the 2024 presidential election. After Biden's performance in Thursday night's debate against Donald Trump was universally derided by both sides of the political divide, the ladies of the morning talk show brought to the Hot Topics table an impassioned call for the 81-year-old to step down and let another Democrat take his place in facing off against Trump in November. "Most of us are in mourning," Sunny Hostin said at the top of Friday morning's episode, and while...
