BREAKING NEWS—On July 1, President Joe Biden briefly addressed the nation to reassure his supporters of his intentions to continue his efforts to be the Democrat’s nominee in the upcoming Presidential election.   

Five-Thirty-Eight published a National Poll on July 2, shows former President Trump ahead at 41.7 percent and Joe Biden at 40.3 percent.

On July 2, a reported 72 percent of those polled told CBS that they do not believe Biden will stay the course.

The President’s statement is in response to calls for him to suspend his campaign after the President’s disastrous debate against former President Trump on Thursday, June 27.

Biden remains under scrutiny after not exhibiting the stamina and perseverance required to get through the debate.  The President exhibited bouts of confusion and his speech became incoherent at times during the debate. 

On June 28, CNN published an article after they fact-checked both candidates following the debate.  The article entitled, “Trump Made 30 False Claims -Far More than Biden.”  In addition to what is cited below, CNN noted the exact amounts Biden was off by in the cost of prescription drugs and some other details.

What garnered the most attention out of what Biden said was the claim that no troops died during his Presidency.  After the debate, multiple media outlets reported on the response of Gold Star families hurt by Biden’s lack of empathy after 13 U.S. troops lost their lives during Biden’s withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

“The truth is, I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any this – this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did,” Biden said.

Biden also claimed he had the endorsement of The U.S. Border Patrol.  The National Border Patrol Union (NBPC) immediately posted the following message on their X social media page:

“To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.”

On June 30, a confidential source revealed that President Joe Biden may not be seeking reelection. Reports indicate that there is no way for him to recover from the first 2024 U.S. Presidential debate that aired Thursday night.   

At the onset of the first U.S. Presidential debate, CNN moderators Dana Bash and John Tapper granted the incumbent President Joe Biden the first turn in the debate.  Biden was citing how many jobs he created.  His first gaff occurred one minute after he began speaking.  He said he created 15 thousand jobs.  He said thousand instead of million.

Several minutes later, the second gaff came when Biden confused trillions with billions and then got off topic.  
 

That is when former President Trump said what was later called the best statement of the debate:

“I don’t know what he said, and I don’t think he does either.”

Trump was speaking of the violence a 12-year-old girl endured in a rape by an illegal immigrant coming through an open border. Biden didn’t call the family. Trump was highlighting this at the debate. O’Reilly cites Biden’s response, calling it “The worst statement by a President of the United States.”

“There’s a lot of women to be raped by their in-laws, spouses, brothers and sisters.”

CNN interviewed Van Jones who worked for Biden, admitted to his interviewers, “Biden didn’t do well tonight. I like Joe Biden. I work for Joe Biden. He had one job to do and that was to restore the confidence of the American people, and he didn’t do it.”

“It’s hard to imagine the Joe Biden that you saw yesterday making it four more and a half more years. And so, you have to acknowledge there is a high likelihood that a Joe Biden victory ultimately means Kamala Harris will be President,” Jones stated.

Reports indicate that President Biden had a meeting with former President Barack Obama who advised Biden to end his presidential campaign.

On June 30, Biden reportedly met with family members to discuss requests for the President to suspend his campaign.  Biden’s wife, Dr. Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden continued to encourage Joe Biden to continue his campaign.  A second reason for the campaign to be suspended was that the Biden campaign funds were being exhausted.  The Biden family reportedly reassured the President that their fundraising was fine.

Fundraising reports indicate the Trump campaign is taking in billions of dollars to the millions taken in by the Biden campaign.

Talk show media hosts, Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck have predicted that this is the end of the line for the Biden campaign.  According to the polls, Biden’s popularity has significantly declined since the Presidential debate.
