Biden spoke to CBS’ Robert Costa in an interview taped for Sunday morning and stated that he left the race despite claiming he was in a dead heat with Trump in the polls (he wasn’t). But Democrats were concerned that his struggles would hurt them in down-ballot races. He also seemingly confirmed one critical part of the coup: Nancy Pelosi pressured him to drop out behind the scenes due to her concerns over him losing and dragging Congress down with him. Joe Biden also issued another veiled threat against President Donald Trump. This comes less than one month after he...

Biden announced his intention to drop out of the race July 21 and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's nominee.MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former US President Barack Obama threatened Joe Biden with removal from office under the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution if he did not withdraw from the presidential race, US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed. Obama told Biden he had gotten the approval of US Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the safeguard against presidential incapacity, Hersh said in a blog post on Substack. The journalist noted that, in accordance with the 25th Amendment to...

There’s buzz swirling within the Biden camp that the president’s swift endorsement of Kamala Harris was his revenge on prominent party leaders — including Barack Obama — who pressured him to bow out of the race against his will, sources told The Post.

President Joe Biden hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Thursday, likely marking the last time the two leaders will meet while both are in office, given Biden’s decision not to run again. Biden had denied Netanyahu a White House meeting for nearly a year after the latter won Israel’s elections in November 2022 — an extraordinary snub, motivated by the antipathy Democrats have for Israel’s statesman. They finally met in New York in September 2023, amid talk of a possible Saudi-Israeli peace deal that would have been a major diplomatic accomplishment for Biden. But the...

WASHINGTON — Now a caretaker president, Joe Biden has no realistic hope of getting a divided Congress to pass unfinished parts of his agenda. But what he can do in his remaining months in office may be even more important in preserving America's democratic traditions: stop Donald Trump's return to power, the president suggested Wednesday night in his Oval Office address. “Nothing,” Biden said, “nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So, I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation.” Biden has left it to his...

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...

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...

No "Stopping the Steal" with Democrat power-brokers. In 2020 they decided that a dead husk of a moth-eaten sock puppet served their purposes, and in rapid succession forced out Bernie, Fauxcahontas, the gay guy, the sensible-shoes gal and the rest of the gang, and forced the dead husk in. Four years later they have decided the husk is a little too dead, and so... So Biden gets served the Ultimate Anyway, and we are now supposed to get excited about which white-male governors in the Democrat Party are willing to challenge the first female... first black... first "Asian-American"... first Montreal...

What a disgraceful end to a disgraceful presidency. Rather than exit this presidential race with dignity, rather than show long-suffering Americans the respect we deserve, President Joe Biden hastily declared he's out — on social media. Joe Biden's ghosted us!...Biden has humiliated himself, the nation, the Democratic elites, megadonors and liberal-media enablers who spent years covering for him. And he didn't even initially endorse his Vice President! Someone had to clean up Aisle 9 on X with a hasty follow-up Kamala endorsement tweet.... Why didn't Biden, like LBJ before him, announce his monumental decision to stand down during a primetime...

The question of whether Joe Biden could hold out against political pressure from the media, donors, Obama and influential figures across the party has been answered. He couldn’t. The donor coup succeeded. Democracy is dead, long live democracy. His campaign people had kept insisting that he was running until the last minute when his account tweeted a statement that he was abandoning his campaign. The whole seemed reminiscent of the palace coup against Japan’s Emperor Hirohito after the bomb dropped. Clearly there were multiple factions at work, but the power players, led by the party’s donors, won out and Biden,...

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

REHOBOTH, Del. — As President Joe Biden faces a wave of new calls from elected officials to end his re-election bid, his political allies are actively exploring ways to publicly demonstrate he still has widespread support among key elements of the Democratic Party’s base, according to three Democrats familiar with the discussions. In some cases, the demonstrations of support are organic, coming from organizations and constituencies that are concerned the party infighting is hurting their goal of defeating Donald Trump. They include Black clergy members, as well as Latino community leaders and progressive activists to show grassroots support for the...

Pass the Torch, a new grassroots group calling for Biden to step out of the 2024 presidential race, held a rally outside the White House on Saturday. “Thank you, Joe; it’s time to go!” the group chanted outside the gates. Organizers say approximately 100 people were in attendance. President Biden has faced intense pressure from members of his own party to forfeit the Democratic nomination since his disastrous debate performance at the end of June. As of Saturday, 35 Democrats have publicly called for Biden to step aside. In a statement issued before the rally, Pass the Torch explained their...

President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with his pals, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over what many are calling a coup d’état within the Democratic Party’s nomination process. Several people close to Biden told the New York Times on Friday that the embattled president sees Pelosi as “the main instigator” and Obama as “the puppet master behind the scenes” in efforts to remove him from the 2024 race. Biden’s anger seems to be triggered by a plethora of leaks and stories from anonymous sources suggesting he has considered passing the torch to a successor,...

Perhaps the toxic combination of dementia and casual racism will serve as the impetus for Democrats to finally cast Old Joe aside. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Joe Biden sat down for an interview and announced that he had given an interview to BET News stating that he would reconsider his decision to run if a doctor diagnosed him with a “medical condition.” “If I had some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors came to me and said, you got this problem and that problem,” Biden told interviewer Ed Gordon. But the interview quickly turned into a total...

MILWAUKEE — President Biden repeatedly scolded NBC anchor Lester Holt in an interview Monday — exclaiming at one point, “What’s with you guys? Come on, man!” — as he defended his criticism of Donald Trump despite calling on Americans to “lower the temperature” after the assassination attempt on the former president Saturday. The 81-year-old president lashed out when Holt pressed him on his disastrous June 27 debate performance and bristled when the journalist asked him about former Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance. “Are you seeing what [viewers] saw, which was moments of frankly, that appeared to be — you appeared...

Stick a fork in Joe Biden. He's done. After the recent turmoil his party went through after the debate, which significantly damaged his candidacy and prompted calls for him to drop out, Democratic strategists who spoke with NBC News on Sunday say that now the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump most certainly was the true end of his hopes of getting reelected. "We're so beyond f---ed," lamented a longtime Democratic insider, emphasizing that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be an unforgettable image between now and Election Day....
