The past few days have been perhaps the most dramatic political spectacle since November 8, 2016. Ever since President Biden’s disastrous debate performance last Thursday, there has been a panic around the country. Can he still be on the Democratic ticket in 2024? And who has actually been running the United States for the past four years?
Every minute, another shoe drops. Another grim poll, another devastating leak. All of which suggests that Biden has to throw in the towel. But the White House insists he’s in it for the long haul. “I am running. . . . No one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win,” Biden told DNC staff on a call Wednesday.
On today’s special *emergency* episode of Honestly, Bari sits down with Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson to help make sense of what is going on and what comes next. Thompson has covered President Biden for years and is one of the few reporters, long before last Thursday night, who dared to report on the subject of Biden’s age and mental acuity. There’s no one better situated to break down how the Biden camp is dealing with the fallout since the debate.
They discuss Biden World’s calculus for staying in the race, who might replace Biden if he ultimately drops out, what is going on with Democratic donors, why the media missed this story for months, and what this could all mean for the future of the nation.

The only ones panicking are Democratic politicians, operatives, and their media water carriers. The rest of us know Biden is senile. We raised concerns and it all fell on deaf ears so we just dealt with it. I've been asking who's running the WH for months but who cares what I think? So we just get on with life.
I'm disgusted by anyone who after seeing the debate would still vote for Biden. Above all, the president should be of sound mind. He is not of sound mind. Anyone who hate Trump that much with the only goal of voting is to keep Trump out should wake the hell up and understand their their only choices are Trump and RFK Jr, and switch their votes to RFK Jr. Even if they think he's a anti-vaxer, vaccine is just one issue and he can't unilaterally make the whole country stop taking them or requiring them. I'm not myself an RFK Jr supporter one way or the other. Just saying anyone who would vote a vegetable into the White House out of spite against Trump has lost their minds and are reprehensible. They've lost all arguments that they want what's good for anyone. They're just feeding their hate.
In conclusion, the question is not whether Biden should drop out. But who would people what so against Trump will do? Vote a vegetable on life support into the White House, the most powerful position in the world?
The media is nothing more than puppets of the Democratic Party. They have lied and pushed false narratives for years. Brett Kavanagh, Russia collusion, the Covington high school kids, Jussie Smollet, Covid, Hunter laptop. Did they report any of those stories without bias? Don’t think so. The past 3 years, the media has either not covered or run cover for Biden. They are actually interfering with an election!
