Kamala Harris is poised to take Joe Biden’s place if he drops out of the presidential race — in part because she’s the only person who can take control of the Democrats $240 million war chest, sources told The Post. Many prominent Democrats are waiting in the wings to take the ailing 81-year-old’s place, but the quarter billion Biden-Harris have raised is non-transferrable, campaign finance sources told The Post. “Biden has two real choices: Kamala inherits; or they transfer it all to the DNC,” Signum Global partners Rob Casey told The Post. “That money would all be accessed by Kamala…...

Biden’s corrupt Justice Department will continue to pursue the two lawfare cases against Trump past election day if Trump wins. According to a leak to The Washington Post, Special Counsel Jack Smith will continue to file motions and possibly conduct a trial after Election Day if Trump wins in a race against the clock before Inauguration Day. The Justice Department cannot charge a sitting president so they want to ‘get Trump’ before he is sworn in on January 20, 2025. “Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under...

Joe Biden told donors at a fundraiser at a private home in McLean, Virginia Tuesday evening that he “almost fell asleep on stage” during his debate debacle with President Trump last Thursday. Biden was introduced at the fundraiser by Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA). Biden blamed ‘flying around the world’ in the weeks before the debate for his fatigue. The New York Times reported earlier Tuesday that during the week-long debate prep at Camp David, Biden was scheduled for a daily afternoon nap. Biden’s comments were reported by pool reporter Andrew Feinberg who noted that Biden “spoke very softly” (no mention...

Pour one out for the state prosecutors. District Attorneys Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis awoke this morning to a new legal landscape after the Supreme Court ruled that presidents are presumptively immune for their official acts, and absolutely immune for those duties that are “exclusively and preclusively” their purview. Only unofficial acts are fair game. Where, then, does that leave the cases launched against Trump from New York and Fulton counties? In just as much trouble, we reckon, as the January 6 case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith at the District of Columbia that precipitated the brouhaha over immunity...

Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under the belief that department rules against charging or prosecuting a sitting president would not kick in until Inauguration Day in January, according to people familiar with the discussions. That approach may become more consequential given this week’s Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which probably will lead to further delays to Trump’s election interference trial in D.C. and has already affected one of his state cases. Senior law enforcement officials have long viewed the two federal indictments against Trump —...

BBC presenter David Aaronovitch sparked outrage on Monday after he called for the murder of President Donald Trump on Twitter-X. Aaronovitch, who has since deleted his call for murder from X, called on Joe Biden to “Hurry Up” and “have Trump murdered.” Don’t forget, it is the left that ALWAYS attacks the right for being violent and dangerous. And it is ALWAYS projection. David Aaronovitch defended his call for murder before he deleted his tweets. Aaronovitch is a presenter of BBC Radio’s 4’s Briefing Room. David Aaronovitch was reportedly raised by atheists whose “faith was Marxism.” The Express reported: A...

The Supreme Court Trump v. United States ruling that former presidents are entitled to some degree of immunity from criminal prosecution has significant implications for the ongoing legal battles surrounding Donald Trump. This ruling, widely perceived as a victory for Trump, has nuanced elements that warrant closer scrutiny, particularly in the comments made by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.The Court’s decision confirmed that presidents are protected from prosecution for official actions extending to the "outer perimeter" of their office, while unofficial conduct remains vulnerable to legal scrutiny. This distinction is crucial, as it provides a pathway for prosecutors to refocus their...

Why it matters: Biden's performance at the debate has left many of his own aides worried about his mental fitness, and angry about what they see as a lack of candor from Biden's senior aides. "It's the first topic of every conversation," one White House official said. "Senior leadership has given us nothing. To act like it's business as usual is delusional." Another official put it more bluntly: "Everyone is freaking the f*** out." "The uncertainty after Thursday is palpable and anxiety is only increasing," a third White House official told Axios. "People are looking for leadership and direction that...

During a June 22 speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, former President Donald Trump said that if elected to the presidency again, he would pardon the pro-life activists currently serving jail time for a sit-in style protest at an infamous late abortion facility in Washington, D.C. As reported by the Catholic News Agency, during his speech, Trump specifically mentioned one of the activists, 75-year-old Paulette Harlow, who was sentenced to 24 months in prison for conspiracy to violate civil rights and violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. Harlow had been on house arrest due...

Rep. Nancy Pelosi speaks to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about the presidential election. "This is not a normal election where you want to win and if you don't, you cooperate and do the best you can for the country and hope to win the next time.

Now let’s get to it. For background, Chief Justice John Roberts, in writing for the majority, answered the following question: “Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.” The Court provided three answers based on the classifications of the President’s conduct: A President has absolute immunity when he exercises his core constitutional powers: “Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the re­sponsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitu­tion.” A President has presumptive immunity from criminal...

President Trump should let the odious reptiles ruling the U.K. Know exactly where he stands by nominating dissident and ofttimes political prisoner Tommy Robinson as his ambassador to the U.K. This action woukd show respect and recognition to the citizens of the U.K. who are being colonized and impoverished by the communist government in London and let the politicians and establishment of the U.K. that the fundamental relationship needs repairing. Furthermore, Trump should grant Tommy Robinson citizenship.

With all the back and forth about replacing Biden, no one seems to be talking about ballot access and how they would address it - if Biden was replaced. As of now a few states have closed the window on adding a new name to the ballot. The deadlines have passed. By the time the DNC rolls around - most states will have had their deadlines pass. Which means Joe Biden's name will remain. in some cases, even in death. So, wouldn't you think this is a major issue? No one is talking about it through.

Donald Trump can’t believe his luck. Just a few days after Joe Biden seemed to fire himself from his own job live on air during a toe-curling presidential debate, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that sitting and former presidents of the United States possess a degree of immunity not available to private citizens. In this strange new world, Republicans can now win in televised debates and the courts. Nixon must be rolling in his grave.

Polling after Joe Biden's debate fumbled are showing a decrease in support for the president's reelection. Biden's campaign has brushed off post-debate polls and claimed any dip is the result of 'overblown media narrative.' But for the first time this election cycle, former President Donald Trump has now pulled ahead in liberal state New Hampshire that has not voted for a Republican candidate for president in more than two decades.

There was fury and surprise among Biden White House aides following President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week, Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson revealed on CNN. Biden aides were “just as shocked as many other Democrats on the Hill at what they were seeing,” Thompson said on Monday. The president’s fumbling has prompted many prominent newspapers and political figures to urge him to drop out of the race. Last week, Thompson penned a story on how Biden has been shielded by close aides since the start of his presidency. “There was real anger...
