I’ll admit, I did not have Politico writing that Democrats are freaking out over Biden’s election prospects on this year’s bingo card, but here we are. Behold the headline!
Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden
One adviser to major Democratic donors keeps a running list of reasons Biden could lose.
The report itself is chock full of PANIC! within the ranks.
All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.
“You don’t want to be that guy who is on the record saying we’re doomed, or the campaign’s bad or Biden’s making mistakes. Nobody wants to be that guy,” said a Democratic operative in close touch with the White House and granted anonymity to speak freely.
But Biden’s stubbornly poor polling and the stakes of the election “are creating the freakout,” he said.
What’s fascinating and funny about this particular freakout is that the messages conveyed by the Biden Administration and Joe himself are key reasons why the campaign is struggling so badly. For example:
She said, “That’s not the case this time. I worry that because we’ve had four years with a stable White House, particularly young voters don’t feel that sense of urgency and might not remember how disastrous 2017 was right after the Trump administration took over.”
What many of the Democrat operatives quoted in the Politico freak-out article fail to realize is that there has been NO stability from the Biden Administration these last three years. Don’t get me started on inflation and the asinine Green New Deal crap.

The Biden Administration is desperate for young voters. Except the ones they want are the shrieking harpy cretins who’ve taken over the college campuses and thrown anti-Israel, anti-semitic tantrums for the last eight months!
Furthermore, the Dem operatives who are freaking out ignore Joe’s specific problems. Such as invoking Beau every chance he can get, needing note cards to get through meetings, forgetting where he is (and likely WHO he is), and lying about everything.
Democrat operatives fail to realize that people like Rashida Tlaib – who went on an unhinged rant in front of pro-Palestinian supporters over the weekend, are why Michigan is in play.
Fox News contributor Byron York sounded the alarm for the Biden 2024 campaign after Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) tore into the president while addressing a controversial, pro-Palestinian conference over the weekend. Tlaib called President Biden an “enabler” of genocide and urged her supporters not to vote for him come November.
“We see Rashida Tlaib there pushing for protest votes. And Michigan obviously one of the prizes every year, but even perhaps more so with the way the polling is going there,” Fox anchor Griff Jenkins asked York on Monday.
“It’s all about Michigan. Obviously, he has a member of Congress from Michigan, a Democrat. Just absolutely, going off after him, for failing to say what, what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide and all this kind of stuff that is not representative of the larger Democratic coalition. It is all about Michigan,” York replied, adding:
Joe’s wide-open border policies are giving Democrat cities massive heartburn now, which is likely another cause for panic. Especially since many of those what we KNOW are showing up at our border are coming from the Middle East and China.
Those freaking out over Joe’s reelection prospects also aren’t taking into consideration his epic failures in foreign policy. The Afghanistan withdrawal combined with our soldiers getting killed at Abbey Gate was a huge and highly unnecessary debacle.
Appeasing Iran is NOT a good look for the United States.
The Biden administration is pressing European allies to back off plans to rebuke Iran for advances in its nuclear program, even as it expands its stockpile of near-weapons-grade fissile material to a record level, according to diplomats involved in discussions.
The U.S. is arguing against an effort by Britain and France to censure Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s member-state board in early June, the diplomats said. The U.S. has pressed a number of other countries to abstain in a censure vote, saying that is what Washington will do, they said.
Let’s add the Gaza Pier to that list of failures. Yes, that Gaza Pier in which Joe promised no boots on the ground. Well, it’s falling apart, soldiers have been injured, and four ships ended up beached.
Meanwhile the aid packages left the pier and were immediately stolen by Hamas operatives, which the media refuses to acknowledge.
What is Joe doing to help find the American hostages? Lecturing Israel.
What’s eminently laughable about all this is that mere hours after Politico published their panic piece, the Biden-Harris campaign chose unhinged actor Robert DeNiro to be their spokesperson outside the courthouse where the Trump trial is being held. As Toni points out here, it didn’t go well for the Biden-Harris crew.
The public thinks Biden is out of touch and doesn't care about the issues affecting them, especially the economy.

So they have a rich, elitist New York actor talk about Trump's issues?
How does this help anyone pay rent and their bills?
Yet, according to the Biden campaign, anything Trump does, such as campaigning in AOC’s district is just a stunt. Ok, then why the dire warnings and the epically bad choice to do a campaign presser outside the NYC courthouse? To me that reeks of panic and desperation.
Explain to me how, under Sheppard v Maxwell, a criminal defendant's right to a fair trial isn't violated when THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES sponsors a press conference outside the courthouse, the day before the jury begins deliberations, to demand a conviction.

That is a damned good question!
The desperation, panic, and flailing is a bit comical. However, as the blog father, Glenn Reynolds, has warned before, “don’t get cocky.”
Just buy more popcorn for the show.

draigh says: Soon old, slow Joe will have to cut Israel loose just to get a handful of Somali votes in Michigan to vote for him in November. And when he does, he will loose much of the Jewish vote, many of whom will just refuse to cast a ballot for President. Conversely, should he continue to straddle the fence, he will lose Michigan. He’s caught between a rock and a hard place of his own doing. Worse yet, should he continue on his own meandering path between the two factions, he will see more and more pro-Hamas protests during the summer leading up to November. And the more those protests occur, the angrier will the “Normies” become and vote for Trump. In a word, old, sole Joe is screwed.

One report (single source, so far) that Secret Service is in talks with the NY prisons about handling Trump being jailed.
Counting on my fingers of all of the attempts to “GET TRUMP!” – I think they are about up to “Plan J.” They must be looking at the numbers, and figuring they probably can’t even fraud their way out of this one.
