Et Tu Obama, Pelosi, US Congress - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Biden vows to run as more Democrats ask him to drop out...US President Joe Biden is looking forward to "getting back on the campaign trail next week", fortifying his commitment to stick in the race as more Democrats on Friday called for him to step aside as the party nominee. "

Lets Get Real:

It is reported on CNN that President Biden is seething with former Speaker Pelosi, one can assume that goes for President Obama too.   At least LBJ went out of the race on his own terms in 1968, with dignity, while the reason was that the he was afraid that Senator Robert Kennedy would get the nomination, he did not want to be seen as the President between Kennedys, this worry did not seem to effect Bill Clinton, the President between Bush 41 and Bush 43.  POTUS it seems could be the President between the Trump Terms.  The dignity train has left the Station some time ago, Biden stated in 2020 he would be the bridge to the next generation, then he decided he was the next generation.  Something has to give, the money men have walked away, the Congress is split in factions, how will it end? No one knows!

President Biden has COVID - 19 Again!! - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election- Biden Era

The White House: States the following, " Earlier today following his first event in Las Vegas, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19. He is vaccinated and boosted and he is experiencing mild symptoms. He will be returning to Delaware where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.

 

Note from the President’s Doctor:

 

The President presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general mailaise. He felt okay for his first event of the day, but given that he was not feeling better, point of care testing for COVID-19 was conducted, and the results were positive for the COVID-19 virus. Given this, the President will be self-isolating in accordance with CDC guidance for symptomatic individuals.  PCR confirmation testing will be pending. His symptoms remain mild, his respiratory rate is normal at 16, his temperature is normal at 97.8 and his pulse oximetry is normal at 97%. The President has received his first dose of Paxlovid. He will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth."

Lets Get Real:

This is the last thing that POTUS needs, in the Classic period they would have gone on about omens, POTUS saying that the only reason he would get out of the race was if God told him, then we have the assassination attempt on Trump and the Democrats on the HILL wanting him out, now he gets COVID - 19 just after he said that it would be ill health would force him out.   The Gods do not send 2nd warnings, it is time that POTUS  thought about allowing the VP to take the torch, the endless Democrats calling for him to leave the race, will hurt the Biden brand with voters.  Also did the Doctor have to say that POTUS was having general mailaise, that brings back the JIMMY CARTER Era, not one that POTUS wants to be associated with during an election period.   The President will recover in a few days, he needs to think does he really want this job for another 4 years!!

How the Russians view J.D. Vance, VP Nominee - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 7.01pm post, " 

Russia's foreign minister welcomes Trump's VP choice.....

Sergei Lavrov said Kyiv's allies "need to stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons and then the war will end".  "

Lets Get Real:

The Senator has opposed the US supporting the Ukraine, this will be good  news to the Kremlin, that why this blog is supporting the POTUS or any other Democrat is chosen by the Democratic Party who will fund the KYIV Government with military kit.  This is no longer Reagan's Republican Party, the Gipper must be turning his grave, this what can happen to Democratic Parties without a strong and charismatic LEADER, like Reagan or Bush 43.   The Republicans might be a lost cause in 2024, but there is always 2028 if the World can avoid WW3.  The red liner is the Ukraine, the World is on the same road as the 1930s. 

Hill Top Democrat calls for Biden to QUIT race - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports "  Top Democrat Schiff calls on Biden to 'pass the torch'..Prominent Democrat Adam Schiff - a California congressman running to be the state's next senator - has called on President Joe Biden to "pass the torch" and allow another Democrat to challenge Donald Trump in November.  "

Lets Get Real:

One must postulate that Schiff would have not said the above without the approval of the leaders on the Hill.   This blog had thought with the attempted assassination of Trump that the calls for Biden to step down would go away, it has not, there must be Democrats on the ground and districts who can smell the coffee and know that Biden could be a LOSER, once can see Biden moving to the extreme left by his calls for reform of the Supreme Court, that is a policy point from the liberal Democrats.   One does wonder who does POTUS listen to, his inner circle could be telling him what he wants to HEAR.  If POTUS does lose to Trump, his reputation will go down the toilet, the candidate, the President who allowed Trump to come back to the Oval.   Thus this blog supports Biden, because he could defeat Trump, one does wonder if there are other better candidates out there.

Republicans are UNITED in Convention - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 9.30pm post the following, " Defeated Trump rivals to preach unity at Republican convention...After bruising debates against each other, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis will give speeches on party unity. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republican Party is showing a UNITED FRONT, that is more than can be said of the Democrats, those on the Hill who want Biden OUT, are still pushing for that.   The invitation to Governor Haley is new, she kept in the race a long time, the Trump Campaign was not happy, this shows that Trump has learned to do what it takes to win in the Suburbs, women because of the abortion issue tend to vote Democratic.  The campaign knows that it will need to attract the female vote, or least take some women votes from the Democrats, the same goes for the African America vote and other ethnic groups, the campaign is back on track and the Democrats are playing dirty. 

Biden says his rhetoric was a MISTAKE - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.40pm post, " 

Biden says 'bullseye' comment days before Trump shooting was mistake...

Joe Biden has said it was a mistake for him to use the term "bullseye" in reference to Donald Trump....Mr Biden told donors in a private call several days before Trump was shot by a gunman "it's time to put Trump in a bullseye", according to a Politico report. "

Lets Get Real:

This shows that words matter is a Presidential contest. Biden should have been more careful, the extreme Republicans and conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this.   The reason for the assassination attempt is still now known, and this blog as will not be reporting on the case in till ALL fact at known, as is the case in the UK. It will be interesting to see the interview with NBC, does Biden attempt to bring the country together or just use Democratic talking points.   If you appreciate democracy, you want a tough but fair debate, not saying Trump is a fascist or democracy is at risk, policy differences should be debated, but with respect on both sides. 

Trump Names VP choice - J.D. Vance - 2024 Candidates/2024 General Election - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 8.29pm post the following, " 'JD, JD, JD': Convention attendees chant Trump's vice-presidential pick...As the former president announced his decision on social media, people at the convention in Milwaukee erupted into chants of "JD".  "

Lets Get Real:

Senator Vance is decades younger than Trump, the new VP nominee is only 40, he has served in Iraq and was a critic of Trump before, the debate him and VP Harris should be interesting, of course that debate has not been set yet after the disaster that was the Trump and Biden debate, there might be no further debates. also the Trump Campaign looks like wining why risk a further debate.   The past three weeks has seen the Supreme Court give Presidents immunity, and today the Florida Judge threw out the Federal Case against Trump when it comes to the keeping of official records.  Also Trump survived an assassination attempt that killed one rally goer and injured a further two. The delegates at the Republican Convention will be looking at the speech form Trump to send then home and to win the Presidency for Trump/Vance
