Statement from President Joe Biden on Trump’s RNC Speech
“Last night the American people saw the same Donald Trump they rejected four years ago. For over 90 minutes, he focused on his own grievances, with no plan to unite us and no plan to make life better for working people. He avoided mentioning his Project 2025 agenda, but still proudly flaunted the worst of MAGA extremism. Americans know exactly where he wants to take this country. They know that he inflicted pain and cruelty on the women of America by overturning Roe v Wade. They know that he destroyed our economy once and will inflict pain on the middle class, that he wants to gut the checks and balances of our Constitution and rule as a dictator on day one.
“Donald Trump’s dark vision for the future is not who we are as Americans. Together, as a party and as a country, we can and will defeat him at the ballot box. I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone.
“The stakes are high, and the choice is clear. Together, we will win.”
I’m afraid we won’t win unless Biden steps down. I’ve thought this for a long time. His debate performance made it real and his subsequent appearances don’t inspire confidence. Let a younger, smart Democrat build on Biden’s successes.
It seems to be way too late for that. As an experienced campaigner, I'd say we would've needed this all to be done 6 months ago at the latest. There simply isn't time, in my opinion. And it is much easier for Joe to make a comeback than for someone else to prove they should be president, which is nearly impossible given the time left.
Taking President Biden out of the race, as the elite in the @DNC are trying to do, will hand the election to trump! Why do you think RNC is being quiet and letting this play out? They want Biden to be replaced….by whom? This close to the election, the only person qualified is Kamala Harris! If Joe is unable to finish his term, she will do a great job, but to in November????? Do you live in the same America I do?!! Look at Joe’s record, then see if you can easily replace him! Best President in my lifetime….i am 76!
Ah, to be 76 again! I'm younger than the President...by 26 days. I don't want to see democracy lost during my lifetime, and clearly, neither does Joe. I agree with you. We had a primary. Don't like the result? What do you do, storm the Capitol? That isn't democracy. Biden is our candidate and Kamala will back him up if he needs it. Then we can have President Kamala for eight years, if we play our cards right. I hope I live to see it!
I'm afraid we won't win if Biden does step down. It is too late for someone to take his place. What other candidate has his campaign resources? The risk of losing his large base of Black support is great if he is dropped.
Forcing Biden to drop out would be 2016 all over again. I think we'd lose a huge number of bitterly frustrated Biden supporters, and even if Dem leadership's chosen candidate happened to win, they wouldn't have the mandate of the people.
You don’t think that black women would not be happy to vote for Kamala Harris? Maybe she’d bring back the youth that we’ve lost. She’d most definitely bring some of our donors back. Speaking of money, where will the money to campaign come from if our large donors say they won’t open their wallets if Biden stays in the race? You realize that Elon Musk is going to give millions to republicans. How will we match that if our donors close their wallets?
I think what your saying has merit, if Not Biden it must be HARRIS. I do think the GQP are scared of a strong Biden/Harris ticket... but we are hamstringing ourselves and it must STOP NOW!! Seems like there are democrats that want the whole ticket replaced - folly! MAKE it STOP!!
Thanks for posting this. We need to see this information on mainstream news-- 6pm, 9pm TV. How many know of the letter from 1,300 Black women across the country?
How many know what Democrats are doing that's the opposite of Republicans' Project 2025?
Why isn't stuff like this getting any coverage?? All we hear is an endless litany of Dems lining up to kick Biden to the curb, nothing about how much support he has! Do they *want* us angry, divided, and depressed?? It's almost as if those people urging Biden to step down are working for Trump/Putin!
I don’t know. They chose not to cover the fact that Biden’s former Chief, his Senior Advisor and his Campaign Chair all confirmed he was in the race. Letterman confirmed he was doing a fundraiser soon. Dr. Biden will do one while in Paris. And Biden will be on the trail again next week.
Unfortunately mainstream media has let us down. Seems they all play the same game that Trump uses with the national enquirer, the catch and kill game like with Stormy Daniel’s type cases. Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society play the same game when trying to get their judge choices appointed. Leonard Leo did it way back when Clarence Thomas was trying to get his seat on Supreme Court. When the Anita Hill incident came up. Leonard Leo went to work to smear her with conspiracies and paid a lot of money to silence the truth. Sound familiar. How about Kavanaugh?/ it’s about time they make some changes about the way those guys funnel all the dirty money through those organizations.
Great video. I’m excited about 2025 and all we will accomplish with President Biden at the helm. It’s time to get excited and start listing all that’s possible - from court reform to women’s rights with ERA passage to international peace and prosperity - and so much, much more. God, what does it take to pull some people away from gloom and doom when we face one of the greatest times in human history. The enormity of the challenges points to how monumental our victory will be in November!
Bless you, Scott! MSNBC this am has several very positive interviews about Biden STAYING IN THE RACE! There is work to be done on MESSAGING but we know he can do the job. I’ve been typing my fingers off, reading MSM BS,
& seeing the trolls on Facebook. But Joe is in it to win it and I’m with him 💯 %. Now really must eat. What a few weeks this has been. 🫨
“Third Democratic US senator and four more House Democrats call for Biden to step aside in 2024 race– live” by the Guardian. The US Senator put it on X.
This is a confirmation of the confirming confirmation confirming that, indeed, Biden is staying in the race. Despite the fact that he himself had never wavered on his commitment. It's nice that the press MAY be finally accepting the obvious!
“Drooling all over it.” The press are acting like THEY are the ones “loosing it.” With age comes experience; what Biden knows about how to get things done can only be learned by decades of experience, something that few leaders have ever accomplished.” Walking stiffly b/c of arthritis only indicates he has… wait for it; arthritis
So we can focus right now, instead of wondering what’s happening for another excruciating weekend, or until early August, or until — God forbid — an open convention in Chicago. The crap has been unequivocally cut!!
Democrats need to get a grip. The sky is not falling. The economy is fantastic and Joe is old. So what? EVERYDAY HE RUNS THE COUNTRY while Trump golfs and whines. Stand tall and fight for Democracy.
I had removed every corporate media off my devices. Everytime one pops up on you tube I hit do not show these. I have been doing that every couple hours. My MSNBC viewing has been restricted to watching Nicole Wallace, Jen Saki, Ari, Rachel Maddow and hit and miss morning Joe. CNN deleted… they need to stop this insane political rich people rule shit. Joe Biden is the ONLY ONE that can finish this mess. That is why they are trying so hard to cause chaos among the party. I don’t think this country has ever seen chaos that was on display at the RNC Convention last night.

That is exactly what I’m seeing.
It MUST be Biden or Harris NO ONE ELSE- WE DID VOTE!!!
You don’t think that black women would not be happy to vote for Kamala Harris? Maybe she’d bring back the youth that we’ve lost. She’d most definitely bring some of our donors back.

Not just women of color can sign this letter. They've opened it up to allies of Black Women. I signed it this morning - gratefully.
How did you sign it? I would love to add my name!
Cheri, did you get the correct link for the Black Women & Allies letter? I think what was sent might have been an old one. Here is the correct one.

Oh, this took me to the letter from 2020 expressing support for Biden choosing a Black woman for VP. It is somewhere else on this page?
Ugh...sorry. Let me see if I can find the right one
I just found a link I'll use on Jess Craven's Substack. Thanks all!

Thank you for sharing that. I had it on but when Guise said what he did I changed the channel and was afraid that they had caved to their bosses

Pretty brave lol

LOL Exactly. The press is still drooling over it all.
“Drooling all over it.” The press are acting like THEY are the ones “loosing it.” With age comes experience; what Biden knows about how to get things done can only be learned by decades of experience, something that few leaders have ever accomplished.” Walking stiffly b/c of arthritis only indicates he has… wait for it; arthritis
well said Gaily
They think they can force the narrative
Scott, I’m ridin with Biden. 🇺🇸😎
Droolling is Not helping this dire situation!
And the RNC will be very disappointed!

Thank you! Now we need to cut the crap and focus!
Couldn't agree more!
So we can focus right now, instead of wondering what’s happening for another excruciating weekend, or until early August, or until — God forbid — an open convention in Chicago. The crap has been unequivocally cut!!

Well said!
That's how I've been feeling.

The minute Orange Julius announced J D Vance, my red flags went up! NOT an option with Donald in second stage of (inherited) dementia!
https://meidasnews.com/ only for me...
My good friends at Meidas!
That’s another group I support. They hit hard against tfg and his minions. We need Joe to stay in the race, he is a proven winner.
Agree 100%
Thanks! I've subscribed to their newsletter.
Excellent strategy! I will do the same
I'm extremely disappointed in MSNBC. I haven't even been able to watch Morning Joe, my daily early morning TV viewing.
CNN 👹🔥😵💫
Thank you for that info, they need to focus and quit with all this crap. We love Joe and Kamala and we are with them all the way!! 💙💙💙
I'm Biden-Harrris all the way! Let's hear it for President Biden's strong show of strength, confidence, and dedication to saving democracy.
YES!
