This week’s White House Bulletin shows President Joe Biden battling COVID-19 and ignoring media “experts” and nervous Democrats in tough re-election races who are calling on him to abandon his crusade for re-election because they fear it will drag the party down.
Biden’s team has firmly stated that it will not resign, arguing why it would do so?He was 81 years old in the primaries and no one disputed it. He was forgetful and volatile before the primaries and no one challenged him. The media never made a noise. Attendees said he followed the procedure and won a landslide victory.
The week belonged to his rival, former President Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt and later celebrated at one of the most celebrated Republican National Conventions in history.
If Biden’s team is as smart as Trump’s, then Biden will have his own celebratory conference next week.
Our two evaluators highlighted Biden’s problems. Democratic pollster John Zogby gave this week a “D” grade, saying, “It’s the worst of times, the worst of times. ” Conservative analyst Jed Babbin graded the presidential week an “F” and said, “It’s time to go, Joe. ” You’re obviously not up to the task.

It’s the worst of times, it’s the worst of times. President Joe Biden faces growing public and personal pressure to abandon his presidential campaign.
At the time of writing, it seems that the end is near, this week ends. Despite his stubbornness, it is clear that he cannot stay in the race, either for health reasons or also for political reasons. How can he continue to run when more than 30 Democratic members of Congress are publicly calling on him to resign?There is a vice president and other stars who can lead effectively.
Meanwhile, while Biden is hesitant, Republican nominee Donald Trump is widening his lead nationally and in every battleground state. As I said before, the president can tap into a strong record domestically, but he’s not the right messenger. If he acknowledges it, at least he will save his legacy. But if he stops while the new, modulated Trump launches his appeal to independents, the president will lose the White House or Congress. I think he will leave very soon, but now there is only the doubt of whether he will do it.

President Joe Biden is moving slowly with the wind this week. He may abandon his campaign for another term this weekend because of his apparent senility. Democrats will be stuck with Vice President Kamala Harris. Most sensible of all, he contracted COVID. Once again. Which at least provides him with an excuse not to work.
Meanwhile, Biden has actually done even more damage. He attempted to “forgive” another $1. 2 billion in student loans until a federal court blocked him. The Supremes when they told him that he might just not do it. Gasoline costs have risen approximately 18% in the past two weeks, despite withdrawing more than a million gallons from strategic reserves to keep costs down for his political advantage.
Biden also announced plans for a national hiring control, which would prevent landlords from increasing hiring. This happens.
Biden, on several occasions, did not forget that the head of the Secret Service that he had appointed (apparently at the insistence of the first girl Jill Biden) was a woman, he did not forget the call of the Secretary of Defense and in a speech before the NAACP, he referred to the civil rights organization as “NAAC. ” No wonder contributions to Biden’s crusade are drying up.
Biden now needs to impose tweaks on the Supreme Court to set term limits for judges and finalize his ruling on presidential immunity. The challenge is that a primary modification of the Constitution would be needed to achieve this and that will not happen either. . For that alone, they gave him this week’s rating.
It’s time to go, Joe. You are up to the task.
