Biden campaign insists president ‘staying in this race’ despite reports he’s wavering
Biden's campaign says it's 'not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket'
By Paul Steinhauser , Kirill Clark Fox NewsPublished July 18, 2024 11:36am EDTMILWAUKEE - President Biden’s re-election campaign is pushing back against a slew of reports in the past 24 hours that the president has become more receptive in the last couple of days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his 2024 re-election run.
"Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket. He is and will be the Democratic nominee," Biden principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters at a news conference Thursday morning near the site of the Republican National Convention.
Fulks emphasized that "the president has said it several times. He’s staying in this race" and "we look forward to him accepting the [nomination of the] delegates in Chicago and continuing with this race to talk about what’s at stake."
Following his disastrous debate performance last month in his face-to-face showdown with former President Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, the 81-year-old Biden has been facing questions about whether he has the physical and mental capabilities to serve another four years in the most demanding job in the world.

And politically, Biden’s been pushing back against a rising chorus of calls to end his campaign from elected Democrats, who are deeply concerned about the possibility of the party not only losing the White House but both houses of Congress in the fall election.
Reports over the past 24 hours indicated that top Democrats – including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – have had frank conversations with Biden about the president ending his campaign.
Asked a second time at the news conference if Biden may consider stepping aside, Fulks responded that the president "is not wavering on anything. The president has made his decision. I don’t want to be rude, but I do not know how many more times we can answer that. Joe Biden has said he is running for president of the United States. Our campaign is moving forward."
He could already have his retirement speech written and scheduled a press conference for tomorrow to read it, and he’ll still say he’s 100% in it until the official announcement.
Do you think he will drop out? I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say, no, he won't. If he does, it really needs to be PDQ (for those who are like me and not too acronym savvy, that's "pretty damn quick"
)
Face it, she'll probably outlive JoJo by 10-20 years and she's used to living high on the hog.
Once out of office, JoJo's has nothing to sell to foreign governments and companies anymore.Here, let me help:

B-I-N-G-O was his name-o. Thanks for the clarification. I read Faux News websites all days and sometimes become disconnected from reality.CM189191 said:Halifax2TheMax said:

But my take is this- if Biden is re-elected, most likely one of two things happen.1: Biden continues to push ideas that work well for the vast Majority of Americans (including, although they can't see it, the average American MAGA) and has his staff do the hardest parts of the job. I'm OK with that. As long as these good things happen, why not?2: Biden declines to the point of no longer being able to carry on and Harris takes over. Would Harris be my number one choice for president? No. Maybe more like 4th or 5th. But the other option is Trump, and Trump is currently my 336,673,595th choice.I'm not worried at all about Biden being president. And anyone who prefers democracy over an authoritarian dictatorship led by a narcissistic megalomaniac misogynist chronic liar would likely agree.

I'm not the one who needs convincing -- swing voters in a handful of states will decide the election, not you in deep blue CA or me in a deep red state. If those people lack confidence in Biden's ability to project strength and do the job, we have a problem.
Oh my... that brings up the subject of the Electoral College. I'll never be convinced that one's a good idea!

Biden's campaign says it's 'not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket'
By Paul Steinhauser , Kirill Clark Fox NewsPublished July 18, 2024 11:36am EDTMILWAUKEE - President Biden’s re-election campaign is pushing back against a slew of reports in the past 24 hours that the president has become more receptive in the last couple of days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his 2024 re-election run.
"Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket. He is and will be the Democratic nominee," Biden principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters at a news conference Thursday morning near the site of the Republican National Convention.
Fulks emphasized that "the president has said it several times. He’s staying in this race" and "we look forward to him accepting the [nomination of the] delegates in Chicago and continuing with this race to talk about what’s at stake."
Following his disastrous debate performance last month in his face-to-face showdown with former President Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, the 81-year-old Biden has been facing questions about whether he has the physical and mental capabilities to serve another four years in the most demanding job in the world.

And politically, Biden’s been pushing back against a rising chorus of calls to end his campaign from elected Democrats, who are deeply concerned about the possibility of the party not only losing the White House but both houses of Congress in the fall election.
Reports over the past 24 hours indicated that top Democrats – including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – have had frank conversations with Biden about the president ending his campaign.
Asked a second time at the news conference if Biden may consider stepping aside, Fulks responded that the president "is not wavering on anything. The president has made his decision. I don’t want to be rude, but I do not know how many more times we can answer that. Joe Biden has said he is running for president of the United States. Our campaign is moving forward."
He could already have his retirement speech written and scheduled a press conference for tomorrow to read it, and he’ll still say he’s 100% in it until the official announcement.
Do you think he will drop out? I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say, no, he won't. If he does, it really needs to be PDQ (for those who are like me and not too acronym savvy, that's "pretty damn quick" )

If things were working for everyone as you say, there would be no worries for the Dems much like Obama. You’re too blinded by your hate for Trump that Biden has been an awful President for the economy of the middle class. Inflation. You can argue your smug statistics on how great the economy is but when people go to the grocery store and can’t afford to buy what they need, that’s the economy for them… and it’s bad.

Joe BidenCheck this out! You may or may not be a Jello fan (I am!), but his ideas here make good sense and, besides, nothing is working right now. If you like Mr. Biafra's idea here, spread it around. It's not too late (Jon Stewart said the same and they both proved it).

Biden's campaign says it's 'not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket'
By Paul Steinhauser , Kirill Clark Fox NewsPublished July 18, 2024 11:36am EDTMILWAUKEE - President Biden’s re-election campaign is pushing back against a slew of reports in the past 24 hours that the president has become more receptive in the last couple of days to hearing arguments about why he should drop his 2024 re-election run.
"Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where President Biden is not at the top of the ticket. He is and will be the Democratic nominee," Biden principal deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks told reporters at a news conference Thursday morning near the site of the Republican National Convention.
Fulks emphasized that "the president has said it several times. He’s staying in this race" and "we look forward to him accepting the [nomination of the] delegates in Chicago and continuing with this race to talk about what’s at stake."
Following his disastrous debate performance last month in his face-to-face showdown with former President Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, the 81-year-old Biden has been facing questions about whether he has the physical and mental capabilities to serve another four years in the most demanding job in the world.

And politically, Biden’s been pushing back against a rising chorus of calls to end his campaign from elected Democrats, who are deeply concerned about the possibility of the party not only losing the White House but both houses of Congress in the fall election.
Reports over the past 24 hours indicated that top Democrats – including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – have had frank conversations with Biden about the president ending his campaign.
Asked a second time at the news conference if Biden may consider stepping aside, Fulks responded that the president "is not wavering on anything. The president has made his decision. I don’t want to be rude, but I do not know how many more times we can answer that. Joe Biden has said he is running for president of the United States. Our campaign is moving forward."
He could already have his retirement speech written and scheduled a press conference for tomorrow to read it, and he’ll still say he’s 100% in it until the official announcement.
Do you think he will drop out? I don't know, but if I had to guess I would say, no, he won't. If he does, it really needs to be PDQ (for those who are like me and not too acronym savvy, that's "pretty damn quick" )I think @mace1229 is absolutely right here.Brian -- I'm a long-time Biden fan; as I always say, he was my choice in 2008, and he was the main reason why I voted for Obama (well, along with and especially in contrast to McCain's choice of running mate!). I have a ton of respect, even affection for him. That said, he's looking rough. As the Bulwark folks have noted: there are a lot of people who tune out or don't understand the many legal issues associated with the orange menace, but everyone knows and recognizes the signs of an elderly person in decline.Joe Biden is in decline; I take no pleasure in saying that. But -- look at Bernie Sanders. Sanders is older than Biden and he has had a heart attack. Look at Bernie's appearances on Colbert or on "Morning Joe" today, and compare them to Biden's recent appearances. I found myself wishing today that Biden had his energy.I've believed for years that, while Biden never has been a great speaker (I know he has a stutter), he clearly knows exactly what's going on and he has many decades of experience and wisdom to guide us through this ridiculous timeline. I can't honestly say that anymore -- and I thought his SOTU address kicked butt!I agree, C, that Biden is not looking great these days, and I do appreciate your concerns. But my take is this- if Biden is re-elected, most likely one of two things happen.1: Biden continues to push ideas that work well for the vast Majority of Americans (including, although they can't see it, the average American MAGA) and has his staff do the hardest parts of the job. I'm OK with that. As long as these good things happen, why not?2: Biden declines to the point of no longer being able to carry on and Harris takes over. Would Harris be my number one choice for president? No. Maybe more like 4th or 5th. But the other option is Trump, and Trump is currently my 336,673,595th choice.I'm not worried at all about Biden being president. And anyone who prefers democracy over an authoritarian dictatorship led by a narcissistic megalomaniac misogynist chronic liar would likely agree.0 -
Joe Biden
We got some serious ratfucking going on with the “Pass The Torch USA” PAC. If you are not aware, this PAC has paid for a TV ad to run on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” urging President Biden to quit the presidential race. But did you know that this supposed “Democratic” PAC was formed by Dean Phillips and Steve Schmidt? There is now a report out from the NYT that one of the Pass The Torch contributors is Tom Strickler, a big donor, who has threatened Democratic Senators like Heinrich of NM with loss of funding if they do not come out against Biden (Heinrich has now publicly called for Biden to quit the race).
Before I go to the ad, here is what others have reported about Pass The Torch USA:
Pass the Torch USA was created in November to promote the presidential campaign of Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota. Phillips announced in late October that he would challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in 2024.
Phillips, who tried to convince more well-known Democrats to run against Biden, said he entered the race because some early election polling indicated that Biden could lose in a general election matchup against former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. In the speech announcing his long-shot candidacy, Phillips said he is “the Democratic candidate who can win” in 2024, and “it is time for the torch to be passed to a new generation of American leaders.”
Pass the Torch USA is registered as a super PAC, or independent expenditure-only committee. As such, it can accept unlimited donations that it can use to fund communications that advocate for or against candidates for public office. But it is prohibited from coordinating directly with candidates, campaigns or political parties. It also must periodically disclose its donors to the Federal Election Commission.
Steve Schmidt, who advised campaigns for Republicans George W. Bush, John McCain and Arnold Schwarzenegger, helped launch the pro-Phillips super PAC. Schmidt, a former Republican, also was part of the team that co-founded the mostly anti-Trump Lincoln Project in 2019.
Remember, Congressman Dean Phillips ran on a nothing campaign against President Biden. His only difference with Biden is, well, he is not Biden. And according to Phillips, Biden cannot win. That’s it.
