post-debate rally
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/28/2024 3:44:55 PM
President Biden sought to tamp down the panic among some Democrats on Friday over his ability to lead the party heading into November following a calamitous debate performance a night earlier, delivering a more energized speech in North Carolina in which he acknowledged some of his shortcomings. “Folks, I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to,” Biden said at a campaign rally in Raleigh. “But I know what I do know,” he continued. “I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong.

In the wake of Joe Biden's debate implosion, there's a lot of panic going on in the Democratic Party.
CNN's John King encapsulated it on Thursday night: "Very aggressive panic," he termed it.
In the immediate wake of the debate, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke with Ben Ferguson on their podcast, "The Verdict," about the debacle.
As Rebecca Downs at our sister site Townhall reported:
Cruz agreed with King that "Joe Biden did unbelievably badly, that the degree of dementia he is facing right now, it has escalated to a point that it is unrecognizable," adding "I think there are a great many Democrats
Vice President Kamala Harris would be pressured to bring together leaders of the executive cabinet to push President Biden out of office via the 25th Amendment, under a new resolution introduced by Representative Chip Roy (R., Texas) on Friday.
The resolution calls on Harris and members of the cabinet to “activate section 4 of the 25th Amendment to declare President Joseph R. Biden incapable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as Acting President.” The aforementioned section allows the vice president and a majority of the executive cabinet to decide whether the president is fit to serve.
Chesapeake, Va.—Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump took a victory lap Friday afternoon during his first post-debate rally here in blue-leaning Virginia, where he painted Biden as a failed leader and poked fun at the growing chorus of Democrats who are publicly suggesting that the party should replace the president with a new candidate ahead of their August nominating convention in Chicago.
Last night was “a big moment for people with common sense,” Trump told the crowd in Virginia, a state he lost by ten points in 2020. This year, Trump is bullish that he can flip this state that no Republican presidential candidate
Several major Hollywood donors for President Joe Biden have been sent into panic mode after President Joe Biden’s poor performance at Thursday night’s presidential debate.
Anonymous Hollywood donors told Variety that they had received messages and feedback from donors in the media and entertainment industry who were panicked by what they saw from Biden during the debate. Donors reportedly called for Biden to “drop out” or they would not be “giving any more money” to the Democrat Party.
During the presidential debate, Biden appeared to freeze. Biden also spoke with a hoarse voice and mumbled.
The president was also unable to get through his closing statement without making a lot of errors.

Former President Bill Clinton defended President Joe Biden after his performance at the presidential debate on Thursday night against former President Donald Trump.
In a post on X, Clinton highlighted how Biden had “given us 3 years of solid leadership,” and created a “record number of new jobs,” and was “making real progress solving the climate crisis,” among other things.
“I’ll leave the debate rating to the pundits, but here’s what I know: fact and history matter,” Clinton wrote. “Joe Biden has given us 3 years of solid leadership, steadying us after the pandemic, creating a record number of new jobs, making real progress solving the climate crisis,
Almost every Democrat and leftist who saw the presidential debate on Thursday night and watched President Joe Biden melt down is "panicked" and plotting. From the legacy media, to mega-donors, to other Democrat electeds, they all want to know when Joe Biden will be replaced on the Democrat ticket.
Our Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar outlined cogently how it could be done, while moving historic VP Kamala Harris to the side in the process. So, as the speculation grows louder (so much for "democracy"), so does the floating of names on who could be potential replacements MSNBC's Chief Political Analyst Chuck Todd pontificated about an open
Biden Panic Goes Global

Under normal circumstances, I would have said that the exclusion from last night’s presidential debate of anti-Semitism was so significant as to merit our full attention. After all, it’s not merely a question of Jews feeling comfortable on campus or elsewhere; it’s a steady stream of violent riots that have taken a can of bear spray to American civic life.
And yet, it honestly feels silly even complaining about that—or anything else issue-based, for that matter. The feeling of crisis at this moment is so acute that all issues take a backseat—and that is a crisis all its own.
The crisis is international. Maybe even more so than it is domestic.
President Joe Biden is not dropping out of the presidential race after his disastrous debate performance, Biden campaign spokesperson Seth Schuster told the Hill Friday.
Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down after Democrat and media hysteria.
Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. Even during his prepared closing statement, Biden did not deliver without error.
Sixty-seven percent said Trump won the debate, a CNN flash poll of debate watchers found Thursday.
New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, who is Biden’s personal friend, called for him to drop out of the race. “I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone
Pollster Frank Luntz’s focus group of undecided voters want President Joe Biden to go, the pollster revealed after Thursday’s presidential debate.
CNN’s debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden drew strong reactions from Democrats — particularly the panel on CNN, which admitted that Biden had a poor performance.
“Anderson, this was a game-changing debate in the sense that right now as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party,” CNN host John King said after the debate:
It started minutes into the debate and it continues right now. It involves party strategists; it involves elected officials; it involves fundraisers.
The Biden administration appeared to backpedal on the issue of child sex change attempts, now saying it does not support sex change operations on minors. The apparent about-face comes just after it was revealed that a trans-identifying Biden official pressured an organization to eliminate age requirements for the surgical procedures.
A White House spokesman said plainly that “the Administration does not support surgery for minors” on Wednesday in a comment that came amid a broader controversy surrounding the use of sex change interventions on children.
The statement puts the White House at odds with numerous Democrat states and transgender activist organizations, both of which have waged a campaign

Foundation but will cut the charity off

OMAHA, Neb. — Investor Warren Buffett announced another $5.3 billion in charitable gifts Friday, but in a major shift of his longtime giving plan he said he plans to cut off donations to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation after his death and let his three children decide how to distribute the rest of his $128 billion fortune.
Buffett laid out his new plan for his estate in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. The 93-year-old billionaire who leads Berkshire Hathaway didn't immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press on Friday about his plan that calls for Howard, Susie and Peter Buffett to unanimously agree
The New York Times editorial board on Friday urged President Joe Biden to exit the presidential election contest against Donald Trump, citing the Democrat's poor debate performance the night before.
"The president appeared on Thursday night as the shadow of a great public servant," the Times editorial said. "He struggled to explain what he would accomplish in a second term. He struggled to respond to Mr. Trump's provocations. He struggled to hold Mr. Trump accountable for his lies, his failures and his chilling plans. More than once, he struggled to make it to the end of a sentence." "Mr. Biden has said that he is the candidate with the best

Millions just witnessed the end of a presidency live on television.
Joe Biden’s performance during the debate was embarrassing.
Whenever CNN put him up on the split screen, he had a thousand-yard stare.
He didn’t look old.
He looked ancient.
He looked empty. But at least he wasn’t speaking.
Because when it was his time to answer, Biden was incoherent.
He said he “beat Medicaid.” (Photo) Asked about abortion, he randomly started talking about migrant crime.
“I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” former President Trump noted at one point, “and I don’t think he knows what he said either.”
At one point Biden just froze.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told reporters in the spin room Thursday night in Atlanta after the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election on CNN that President Biden won the debate on the “substance.”
Newsom and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) were sent into a phalanx of reporters as the Biden campaign’s surrogates with a seemingly impossible mission: spin a debate that even MSNBC thought Biden lost as a win for the incumbent.
“To me, that was daylight and darkness … I care about substance,” Newsom said. “This is not about style … Biden not only asserted himself, he reminded people of his accomplishments and his vision for the future.”
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) dodged on if President Joe Biden is like the person we saw on the debate stage on Thursday, but stated that “he is sharp and engaged, his cognitive capabilities are as good as ever.”
Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “Senator, you mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, she, repeatedly, last night, dodged Anderson Cooper’s questions about whether the Biden we saw in the debate is who he is every day. What’s your answer to that? Because you know him well.”

First lady Jill Biden drew backlash from conservatives on social media after President Joe Biden's presidential debate fiasco on Thursday evening, with one X, formerly Twitter, account calling her a "monster." During CNN's debate in Atlanta last night, Biden answered the moderators' questions with what his administration has currently accomplished and hopes to accomplish in another four years if he's reelected in November. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump deflected many answers and had little to say about the exact policies he would enact as president. However, the biggest takeaway from the debate was the dismal job Biden did at answering
In the lead-up to Thursday night's debate, the conventional wisdom was that Biden had to convince everyone - party bosses and influential pundits especially - that he wasn't too old and addled to be the Democrat nominee again.
Biden more than bombed, and there are essentially unanimous calls among Democrats for the party to replace him as the nominee. The undeniable star of the CNN spin room has been California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who's in Atlanta as a Biden surrogate and who's now looking mighty attractive to Democrats as a replacement. He's young (ish), handsome (ish), has better poll numbers than Kamala Harris,

On Friday morning after the presidential debate, ABC’s Good Morning America claimed that former President Donald Trump made more mistakes than President Joe Biden. One of the biggest focuses in this debate was if Biden was mentally fit to serve another four years; however, he was not able to meet this hope Thursday night.
Co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos admitted that “from the start, Joe Biden struggled to answer questions”, but unsurprisingly added that “Trump launched a series of lies and misleading attacks.”
President Joe Biden, who reportedly will not drop out of the 2024 presidential race, will participate in the second debate in September, a Biden adviser told CNN Friday.
ABC News’ David Muir and Linsey Davis will serve as moderators for the September 10 debate. More details of the event, including rules, location, staging, and format, are not yet decided, according to ABC News. Pressure is mounting on Biden to step down as many Democrats and media members display hysteria following a disastrous Thursday debate.
Whoopi Goldberg told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that “every Republican” needs to stop referring to former President Donald Trump as “the president.”
“Can I say something that’s been bothering me? It’s been bothering me and bothering me!” Whoopi Goldberg said. “I would like every Republican out there to stop referring to this man as the president. He is not the president. He is the former president. And nobody can see the future, and same with the donors. You cannot buy the presidency. You can put in as much money as you want to but it’s not for sale so stop

Everyone, even CNN, knows that Joe Biden is completely lost. If anyone doubted that, the Thursday debate proved the point. And by completely lost, I mean that he could not maintain focus when asked questions, could not figure out how to look into the camera, and said many things that, frankly, made no sense. I flipped on CNN for kicks and giggles (and no small amount of schadenfreude) and was shocked by what I saw because, as we know, Democrats usually back their guy to the end—"to the pain," as one "Princess Bride" character famously quipped.
Instead, I witnessed weeping and gnashing of teeth—and an execution squad.
