    JOE BIDEN
    Biden staff 'scared less' of him, senior admin official says; WH hits back

    Biden's briefings are reportedly curated for information that won't 'set him off,' a senior admin official told Politico


    By Timothy H.J. Nerozzi Fox News
    Published July 2, 2024 9:08am EDT

    Some of President Biden's top officials are "scared s---less" of displeasing him in daily briefings, according to a new report.
    The president's inner circle has become tighter and tighter as he has become more difficult to deal with in day-to-day business, according to a Tuesday report from Politico.
    "It’s like, ‘You can’t include that, that will set him off,’ or ‘Put that in, he likes that,’" a senior administration official told Politico on background.


    The quote continued, "It’s a Rorschach test, not a briefing. Because he is not a pleasant person to be around when he’s being briefed. It’s very difficult, and people are scared [s---less] of him."
    The official told Politico that Biden is unwilling to take advice from outside his small inner circle, becoming increasingly isolated from wider public opinion and input.
    "He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated from their efforts to control it," the official reportedly told Politico.
    White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andre Bates pushed back on the Politico report's claim that staff are afraid of the president — telling Fox News Digital, "That’s simply not who [Biden] is."


    Politico also reported that Biden's family members cast blame widely on Biden staffers, complaining that they did not adequately prepare the president to go on the attack more, to focus more on laying out his vision for the next four years rather than getting bogged down in defending his record, and that they allowed him to become overworked without enough rest beforehand.


    The family's criticism was hurled specifically toward Anita Dunn, the senior adviser who frequently has the president’s ear; her husband, Bob Bauer, the president’s attorney who played Donald Trump in rehearsals at Camp David; and Ron Klain, the former chief of staff who ran point on the debate prep and previous cycles’ sessions, Politico reported, citing three people briefed on the family conversations but not directly involved.
    "The number of people who have access to the president has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller," an anonymous Democratic strategist in a battleground state reportedly complained to Politico, according to their Tuesday report. "They’ve been digging deeper into the bunker for months now."


    Bates denied this characterization as well, claiming the president seeks input from a "wide range of individuals inside and outside the administration."
    "These claims are unfair distortions of processes that exist in every administration," Bates told Fox News Digital. "In any presidency, there are individuals who would prefer to spend more time with the President and senior officials."

    He added, "[Biden] is proud to have hired the most diverse White House team ever – and is achieving historic results for the American people because of his determination, values, and experience."
    Biden and his campaign officials have denied any implication that the president is planning to step aside in his bid for re-election.

    Sad or not, the party better do something to avoid being trounced in November. Moral pla udes can't veto stupid republican bills.
    Not sure what they can do if they do roll with Joe.... which is what I 100% expect them to do.

    Maybe just keep him from debating Trump any more and just continually have him remind the voters that he's a ing felon.

    Too late. Joe shoulda never got within 10 miles of him to be begin with, Blake. Now, NOW is the time for Trump to get no where within 10 miles of less Joe the rest of the way.

    There's no need really. Similar to the Dobbs decision in 2022, the Supreme Court just gave Democrats Christmas in July with that ruling yesterday. There are less people in the Trump University cult than there are non-cult people. The majority in this country aren't going to put Trump back in the White House with a Supreme Court majority that bends to his will. Barring some catastrophic economic collapse it's going to be the "red wave" all over again and Republicans will lose their 4th straight election cycle, probably the longest losing streak Republicans have suffered in the last century.

    A vote for Biden is a vote for his vice president
    And not a vote for Dennison

    I will vote for Biden specifically to vote against Trump. Voting third party or not voting only helps Trump.

    This is not a matter of policy, or even mental fitness because I agree with the majority that Biden’s mental fitness is absolutely a concern. This is about aligning against a corrupt narcissist who is a misogynist, racist, and bigot and threatens democracy on several levels. In a more ideal scenario, neither Biden nor Trump are the choices. In the reality we’re in now, third party voting or sitting at home serve no purpose but to give that threat to democracy a better chance to win.
    This is what MAGA s don't understand. Andy did actually understood this after the 2020 beatdown, but somehow talked himself back into supporting Dennison because it was the only option in his party, as much as he tries to deny it, tbh

    Agreed. With everyone screaming about Trump possibly being king, it does him no favors with the fence riding voters

    Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11. Judge Juan Merchan said the former president will now be sentenced on September 18, “if such is still necessary.”

    I agree, but "don't vote for him" isn't the same as "vote for me". It's close. Maybe Hillary wants to give it another shot? Who knows.

    Same here. 25th is still in play but it could never put Trump in office if Biden is removed. Kamala, maybe.

    (We) don't have enough balls, or, less RINO's to ever accomplish the 25th.

    TL takes it up the ass so anything he says is hyperbole and not worth the time of day. TL is nothing but a male and no one takes males seriously.

    Biden blames debate performance on international travel despite being in US for nearly 2 weeks

    President Biden, speaking at a campaign fundraiser, blamed his disastrous debate performance last week on international travel – despite nearly two weeks having transpired between when he returned to the U.S. and when he participated in the debate.

    ...exactly. He was out at Camp David the whole fortnight practicing and the bed immediately upon the debate floor.
