U.S. President Joe Biden says he's staying in the 2024 race for the White House, despite sliding poll numbers after his poor debate performance. On a conference call to his campaign team, Biden reportedly said that “I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party. No one is pushing me out.” Jackson Proskow explains how Biden is trying to regain the confidence of voters, the growing chorus of Democrats saying he needs to go, and the most likely Democrat who could replace Biden.

    It’s not just one night—he’s a feeble, weak, zombie.
  • When a sitting president has to declare that he’s not leaving his reelection campaign, that does not bode well for his future.
  • Were not pets for the parties. We are citizens. Naked gay parades are wrong. Keep your sexuality private!

    The American people will push him out one way or another.

    Biden the Trudeau of the south can't be gone soon enough
  • Biden, Trudeau, Makron, Sunak... The one who shakes Zelenskiy's hand will be cursed. Lol
  • Everyone better look out! This is the fella who took a chain and faced-up to "Corn-pop" ... who was a "bad dude." He says you can "cash" him outside, anytime between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, after he's had at least two weeks to get over any jet lag, a cold, or a bad make-up day. And you'd better bring a friend, 'cause Jilly and Huntie got his back!

    Here is an idea, let the voter decide if they want Joe to have another term. Not the Political Elites.

  • @my3dviews
    These leaders don't care about doing what is best for their party or their country. They just care about themselves. Both will lose in their next elections.
  • Delivering child care for who ? The non working mothers that’s on government assistance?? Child benefits increase again to $700 my children have 0 as working parents. Crazy No free day care for my children because I work two jobs .
  • Absolutely not. We need to trust his party that's been insisting for almost 5 years that he's perfectly capable and sharp as a tack. And since they would never ever ever ever lie, they HAVE TO keep him
