FACT CHECK: Harris was Biden’s second ‘border czar,’ despite recent media claims

By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square As Vice President Kamala Harris began campaigning to become the next Democratic presidential nominee, media outlets started claiming she was never President Joe Biden’s border czar. The claims are verifiably false. “Kamala Harris Was Never Biden’s ‘Border Czar,’” TIME Magazine claimed. A USA Today "fact check" headline said, "Harris' border work was on 'root causes' of migration; she wasn't in charge." Axios wrote, “The Trump campaign and Republicans have tagged Harris repeatedly with the ‘border czar’ title – which she never actually had.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Trump campaign files FEC complaint to block Biden’s $91M war chest from going to Harris

By Hailey Gomez  | The Daily Signal Former President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a Federal Election Commission complaint Tuesday alleging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are in violation of campaign finance laws after transferring $91.5 million to Harris’ presidential campaign. The complaint, which was first reported by The New York Times, was filed by Trump’s campaign’s general counsel, David Warrington, and comes after Harris announced her confirmation of delegates to be the Democrat’s new presumptive presidential nominee. “Kamala Harris is seeking to perpetrate a $91.5 million heist of Joe Biden’s leftover campaign cash—a brazen money grab that would constitute the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violat...

Trump asking for ‘equal time’ on air during Biden’s Oval Office ‘campaign commercial’

By Annabella Rosciglione | Washington Examiner As President Joe Biden gives an Oval Office address to the nation Wednesday, former President Donald Trump is asking ABC, NBC, and CBS to give him equal airtime.  In a letter obtained by the New York Times, Trump’s campaign sent a letter to the three networks demanding he be given equal airtime as the campaign believes the speech will be used as a campaign event. Earlier this week, Biden announced he would address the nation from the White House about his exit from the presidential race and how he plans to tackle the remaining months of his presidency. “It appears that President Biden’s speech will not be a bona fide news event, but rather, a prime-time campaign commercial,” Trump campaign general counsel Davi...

Poll: Just before Biden withdrew, his approval hit a new low of 36% in Gallup study

By TARA SUTER | The Hill President Biden’s approval rating as president hit a new low this month, according to a Gallup survey taken just before Biden announced he would withdraw from the 2024 race. The poll, published Tuesday, found 36 percent of Americans said that they “approve” of Biden’s “handling” of his role as president, compared to 58 percent who said they disapprove. The president’s announcement came after Democratic lawmakers in both chambers urged him to exit the race and make room for someone else to challenge former President Trump in November. Those political headwinds came after a poor debate performance by the incumbent raised concerns over his mental acuity and ability to serve another four terms. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE HILL...

Jeff Crank: Biden should ‘resign immediately’ or the cabinet should ‘invoke the 25th Amendment’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Jeff Crank, the Republican nominee for Colorado's 5th District seat in Congress, has called for President Joe Biden to resign or be removed from office. "Despite an all-out effort to hide Joe Biden's failing health, Democrats turned on him when they saw they could lose power," Crank wrote Sunday on Twitter/X following Biden's announcement he would suspend his campaign for re-election, but finish out his first term in office. Mr. Biden has endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic Party's nomination, although some key and powerful players in the party have not. "The President admits he can't run for re-election, but somehow thinks he can run the government," Crank wrote on Twitter/X. "The President must resign immediately, or the cabinet mu...

Joe Biden is out of the race. Here’s what happens to his $96 million campaign fund

By Ross Kohan and Daniel Kuhn | The Street There’s a $96 million question hanging in the air…what happens to the bundle President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign has yet to spend, now that he’s out of the race? Since Vice President Kamala Harris was already on the ticket, she has access to that money. In addition, her campaign already raised more than $50 million in the hours immediately after President Biden backed her to take his place in the race. But Harris doesn’t automatically replace her boss, which means another contender could step in to challenge Harris. If they do, they won’t have access to any of that cash, which essentially means they’ll be starting from zero. There are some exceptions of course, if a member of the Senate or the House takes over for Biden, leftover m...

Polis: Biden’s decision to withdraw not easy ‘but it is the right one’

Colorado's Reps. Boebert, Lamborn respond vis Twitter posts By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In the moments following President Joe Biden's announcement he would suspend his campaign for re-election, Gov. Jared Polis responded in a manner similar to President John F. Kennedy's moon challenge speech. "This could not have been an easy decision but it is the right one, and Joe Biden promised Americans he would always do what’s right for our country and once again he has delivered," Polis said. "I know President Biden and Jill are making this choice with the future of Americans in their hearts." There's some theory Polis, who will has 2-1/2 years left on his term as governor, wants to take a bid at the office or seek a place on the ticket as vice-president. He called Mr. Bide...

Biden ends bid for second term in White House as he drops out of his 2024 rematch with Trump

By Paul Steinhauser , Brooke Singman | Fox News President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will suspend his 2024 re-election campaign amid mounting pressure from his Democratic colleagues on Capitol Hill, top donors and Hollywood stars after a disastrous debate performance last month. The unprecedented announcement came as an increasing number of Democrat lawmakers had begun to publicly call for Biden to step aside and the party's leadership reportedly was engaged in efforts to convince Biden, 81, he could not win in November's general election against former President Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee who Biden defeated four years ago to win the White House. "It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president," Biden wrote in a public letter. "While it has been my i...

Some who want Biden out are after Harris too, AOC says in video rant

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In an hour-long, self-described "rip the band-aid off" moment on Instagram, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reports that even if certain top Democrats get President Joe Biden to withdraw his election bid, they won't be satisfied. They want Vice President Kamala Harris out too, she said, indicating Democrats are saying one thing in public and another in private. "I feel like there have been a lot of smokescreens and people have not been given the whole story," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I don't have a crystal ball and don't know what all is going on." She added: "That debate sucked. It sucked for everybody. It was just like not great." Ocasio-Cortez indicates influential Democrats are seeking more than just Biden's removal. “A lot of the...

‘Time for Joe to go’: Growing number of Democrats want Biden out of race

By MIA MCCARTHY and IRIE SENTNER | Politico A new wave of Democrats has renewed calls for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race on Friday — a sudden burst of new defectors at the end of a week of crisis for the Biden campaign that’s been defined by leaks and backchannel conversations about the president’s potential exit. It’s a signal that the party has run out of patience and believes a decisive moment is at hand — and the latest indication that Biden has failed to staunch the flood of Democrats urging him to step aside since his disastrous debate performance on June 27. Since then, more than 30 Democrats have called on him to step down while top Congressional leaders are reportedly urging him to reconsider his decision to remain in the race behind closed doors.
