What is the 25th Amendment and could it be used to remove Joe Biden from office?

By ALEXA CIMINO | DailyMail Joe Biden's awkward performance in the presidential debate has triggered nationwide chatter about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. The President alarmed Democrats and Republicans alike as he frequently lost his train of thought, trailed off mid-sentence, and mixed up topics during the televised event. It has only added to the widespread concern about his cognitive decline, prompting calls for the 25th amendment to be successfully executed for the first time in US history.  Section 4 of the amendment allows for removal of a president who is deemed incapacitated by any kind of illness, injury, or mental impairment.

Harsanyi: Biden just put on most disastrous debate performance in Presidential history

By DAVID HARSANYI | The Federalist Sure, it might sound like hyperbole, but I can’t think of a more devastating presidential debate performance than the one Joe Biden had in his first meeting with Donald Trump. Indeed, even with abnormally low expectations, Biden tripped over them as if they were sandbags. After watching post-debate reaction, it’s safe to say no modern presidential debate has ever rattled a political party quite like this one. The scratchy and frail voice. The speedy mumbling — it was like watching a TV at 2x speed. The overall incoherence. The confused and angry stares. The jumbling of thoughts —“I was recently in, in, in, um, France for D-Day, and I spoke to — all about those heroes that died …” and so on — was relentless. It was difficult to wa...

Biden, Trump spar over inflation, border, more in first presidential debate

By Casey Harper and Ireland Owens | The Center Square President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump grappled over inflation, illegal immigration, abortion and more during the first debate of this election cycle Thursday night in Atlanta. A Quinnipiac poll released the day before the debate shows Trump with a 49%-45% lead over Biden, showing Biden needed to turn the tide Thursday night. But throughout the debate, Biden showed moments of murmuring, blank stares, trailing off in his responses, or seeming to lose his train of thought. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence,” Trump said early in the debate. “I really don’t think he knows what he said either.” Questions have surrounded Biden, 81, for a growing number of stumbles and miscues in...

Post-debate poll shows voters lost confidence in Biden; Democrats’ confidence in him plummets

By Jeff Mordock | The Washington Times The first post-debate poll amplified Democrats’ fears about President Biden’s reelection with 57% of registered voters saying they have “no real confidence” in his ability to lead the country after his halting, stumbling performance. Most striking, perhaps, was the percentage of registered Democratic debate watchers whose confidence in Mr. Biden to lead the country plummeted from 54% before the debate to just 39% after the debate at CNN headquarters in Atlanta.By contrast, 69% of registered Republicans said post-debate that they have a lot of confidence in former President Donald Trump to lead the nation, compared to 73% who held that opinion before the debate.

Not a toss-up: Polling guru Nate Silver gives Trump 66% chance of winning 2024 race

By Valerie Richardson | The Washington Times Election prognosticator Nate Silver is no fan of Donald Trump, but he predicts that the former president will win the November election against President Biden, and what’s more, it won’t be particularly close. In his first 2024 presidential election model, the political-statistics guru gave the presumptive Republican nominee a 65.7% chance of winning the Electoral College vote versus 33.7% for the Democrat Biden. “The model gives Trump a 66 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, and Biden a 34 percent chance,” Mr. Silver said Thursday on the Silver Bulletin, his Substack account.

Kittle: Which Joe Biden will show up to debate Trump?

By M.D. KITTLE | The Federalist It’s debate day. Insanely early (the contestants have yet to be nominated), but debate day nonetheless.  It’s Rocky versus Apollo. The rematch. Or more like Rocky versus Mickey — if Rocky’s elderly trainer had been reduced to a senile stooge in the throes of dementia, better suited for an assisted living facility than the boxing ring. But we’ve been told ad nauseam by President Joe Biden’s handlers and his corporate media public-relations firm that the Democrat is ready for the rhetorical fight with a bare-knuckle brawler. After all, young Joe Biden once went toe to toe with a Delaware gang leader. Corn Pop was a “bad dude,” Biden told us. A bad dude with a blade. But he backed down upon seeing Joe armed with ...

Trump, Biden prepare lines of attack heading into presidential debate

By Casey Harper | The Center Square Former president Donald Trump has taken several shots at his opponent, President Joe Biden, heading into Thursday night’s first presidential debate, and Biden is returning fire. Both Trump and Biden are the presumed nominees of their respective parties this time around, a rematch of the 2020 election where Biden unseated incumbent Trump. This time, Trump is seeking to do the same to Biden, and he isn’t expected to hold back. Trump has repeatedly mocked Biden for his verbal flubs and moments of appearing lost and confused on stage. Biden has responded, with him and his team mocking Trump for his legal woes. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Vespa: It’s Trump’s debate to lose

By Matt Vespa | TownHall.com No wonder why the Biden team departed so early to Camp David for debate preparation. The White House summoned all the top Democratic strategists and advisers to ready the president as best they could against former President Donald Trump. Before they could review any of their attack lines or soundbites touting this administration's little legislative record, they need to ensure Biden can stand for at least 90 minutes. That’s not a good thing for a president we’ve been told is vivacious, a night owl, and sharp as a tack:  Some in the media have already tried to make the point that these debates are unfair to Biden. I’m not kidding; MSNBC played the ‘obstacles so high’ card to defend the president of the United States. It’s unfair for the president to debat...

Trump: ‘I happen to think he’s incompetent’ but warns against underestimating Biden in debate

By Julianna Frieman | The Daily Caller Presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called President Joe Biden a “worth(y) debater” Thursday on “The All-In Podcast.” Trump and Biden are set to face off in the first 2024 presidential debate hosted by CNN on June 27. Trump told podcast hosts Jason Calacanis, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks and David Friedberg why he does not want to “underestimate” Biden during the 90-minute showdown. “All I can say is this. I watched him with Paul Ryan, and he destroyed Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan with the water. He was chugging water outta left and right. I didn’t think a human being would be able to drink so much water at one time. And he beat Paul Ryan,” Trump commented. “So, I’m not underestimating him. It is what it is. U...

RFK Jr. misses CNN debate deadline, leaving Biden and Trump in head-to-head contest

By DAVID ZIMMERMANN | National Review Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to qualify for next week’s CNN debate by the network’s Thursday deadline, missing the opportunity to stand alongside former president Donald Trump and President Joe Biden on stage. Kennedy did not meet CNN’s polling and ballot-access requirements for the June 27 debate. The presidential longshot needed to earn at least 15 percent support in four nationwide polls. By Thursday, he sat just above the 15 percent mark on three approved national polls. CNN also required all participating debaters to get on a sufficient number of state ballots in order to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. Currently, Kennedy only has 89 electoral votes for being present on the ballot i...
