Did Joe Biden deceive a disloyal party?
President Biden claimed he was dropping out of the race during a speech from the Oval Office on Wednesday night. For party unityNonsense. He was intimidated into backing down by Nancy Pelosi and party leaders who threatened to pull long guns and get rid of Joe. “The difficult road” As Politico reported: Only Nancy, Joe, and possibly his wife know that it was an ugly combination of carrots and sticks that finally forced the stubborn octogenarian to resign.
That said, Biden may have the last laugh.
by Approve immediately Joe Biden may exact revenge for his party’s onslaught on the presidency by placing his Vice President, Kamala Harris, at the top of the Democratic field. He has shown the Democrats who defeated him that he is still in charge and still the president, even if he loses the presidency. Difficulty finishing a sentence or On the way off the stage.
If Kamala Harris loses to Donald Trump, Biden will again claim that the party’s elite powers were wrong. They told him he should not have run in 2016 and Pushed Hillary Clinton to the topShe lost to Trump, who was expected to derail the party in the 2022 midterm elections. Democrats winThey strongly urged him not to run for reelection, but look what happened.
Democrats aren’t laughing. They know Harris is a terrible candidate and would be foolish to pretend otherwise. Barack Obama in particular knows that. That’s probably why he hasn’t endorsed Harris yet. Biden is “furious” Because he ruled out the possibility of a mini-primary election.
The New York Times recently asked eight editorial writers to rate the merits of 10 Democratic candidates, and nearly all of them spoke highly of Ms. Harris. Least likely to win All of them.
Democratic leaders are in a bind, and the left-wing media is even more perturbed as they frantically rewrite Harris’s biography. “Border Emperor” In 2021, she published an article claiming that she was never given that responsibility (and title), very interesting On social media, GovTrack, a group that tracks the voting records of lawmakers, recently removed a 2019 webpage that said Kamala Harris had won that year’s presidential election. “The most liberal” United States Senator.
Democrats created this mess with their own hands and now they must find a way out of it.
They are I lied On whether Joe Biden is fit to serve another four years Reorganized the main processes Allowing incumbents to smoothly receive nominations, Nearly impossible There’s still no room for a serious challenger to compete. If they’d allowed a more vigorous primary, voters might have realized Biden’s shortcomings and chosen a more popular moderate like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer or Arizona Senator Mark Kelly as the nominee. But they thought they could fool the American people for another four years.
Now, they are trying to mislead voters for the next three months by portraying Kamala Harris as a mini-Joe Biden, a moderate who can counter Donald Trump.
The truth? Harris is Bernie Sanders with lipstick.
She is a powerful voice for the progressive left. Medicare for All When that was popular, Green New Deal Before the Americans see Billions of dollars He is being forced to impose an unpopular electric vehicle mandate. There was a reason the Democratic Party was united in 2020 and Sanders wasn’t chosen as the presidential candidate. Top in opinion pollsThey thought Harris was too left to win a national election, as was Kamala Harris.
The specific policies that Harris has adopted are as follows:
- The right to abortion, anytime, anywhere, regardless of fetal viability, without the need for the procedure to be performed by a licensed physician. As a senator, she Co-organized by invoice (510s) It would prohibit the government from imposing “requirements for certain tests or procedures to be performed by medical professionals” or “prohibitions when continuing a pregnancy after the fetus is viable would endanger the life or health of the woman.” rejection This is an extreme position, but the Senate bill clearly acknowledges it. 2019 Laws Passed in New York.
- As attention California Senator Melissa Mendez on X: “She [Harris] Fully supported Proposition 47“California’s efforts have decriminalized many crimes, but the result has been a state that has become a crime hotspot, with her city of San Francisco now one of the most violent.” This is important because some Democrats have questioned Harris’ record as a district attorney. Convenient At a time when voters are concerned about violent crime.
- She is against Hydraulic fracturing and offshore drillingand is an enthusiastic supporter of the Green New Deal plan. Linked To Rising electricity prices and Power outage In her home state of California, the average Californian pays about $277 a month, or $3,324 a year, for electricity — 43 percent higher than the national average of $2,318 — and Harris wants to get everyone across the country to pay that.
- she She raised her hand During the 2019 Democratic primary debates, she campaigned in favor of decriminalizing illegal border crossings. It’s no wonder she failed on that argument. Border control efforts — Her heart wasn’t there.
- Harris wants to expand the federal government without limit. Family Leave, Student loan cancellation, Free medical care for immigrants Harris, like Joe Biden, is greedy for irresponsible government spending that has driven the federal debt to dangerous and costly levels. $35 trillion
Donald Trump should focus on Harris’ dangerous left-wing extremism. Forget her. Race and GenderDrop Silly nickname And progressive Californians tell Americans that it’s bad for the economy, bad for America, and bad for themselves.
In other words, tell the truth.
