DATA: Post-Biden Drop-Out Poll Shows Trump & Harris Nearly Tied Among Voters.

A new survey conducted by Reuters on Monday and Tuesday, after 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection, shows Vice President Kamala Harris running two points ahead of former President Donald J. Trump, the 2024 Republican nominee. The poll suggests the 2024 presidential election could be tightening, with Harris now at the top of the Democratic ticket.

However, the Reuters poll—conducted by Ipsos—has received some pushback. Critics point to Reuters having historically oversampled Democrats in their surveys, leading to a significant polling error during the 2016 presidential election. In the current poll by Reuters and Ipsos, 426 Democrats were reached for a response, while just 376 Republican responses were registered. The Reuters oversample of Democrats versus Republicans in 2016 ran roughly four to six percent.

In addition to accusations of sample bias, others point to the expectation that Harris would rise in the polls in part because of Biden’s exit from the race and her being viewed as a fresh candidate—especially by disillusioned Democrat voters. A polling surge by Harris, in this instance, could be only temporary, with the presidential race returning to its prior dynamics after the Harris honeymoon phase fades.

“That bump is likely to start showing itself over the next few days and will last for a while,” pollster Tony Fabrizio, a Trump campaign pollster, noted in a memo circulated to press members.

However, the survey contains some data points that are concerning for Trump supporters. Voters view Harris as more mentally sharp than Biden and Trump. According to the data, 56 percent of respondents said Harris was “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.” Meanwhile, 49 percent said the same for former President Trump.

Disgraced New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez to Resign from U.S. Senate.

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is set to resign his seat in the United States Senate effective August 20, 2024 according to sources close to the New Jersey Democrat. Menendez was convicted on multiple counts of corruption and fraud on July 16, stemming from allegations he acted as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of the governments of Egypt and Qatar.

Each count carries a potential sentence of upwards of 20 years. Among the charges, Menendez has been found guilty of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to commit extortion, and obstruction of justice. The New Jersey Democrat’s home was raided by federal agents last year as part of an investigation into his ties with businessman Jose Uribe and the Egyptian and Qatari governments.

According to federal prosecutors, Menendez and his wife Nadine received payments in cash, gold bars, and a luxury vehicle for their efforts on behalf of Uribe and the Egyptian government. Consequently, the scheme to ensure military aid for Egypt ran through Menendez’s wife and Wael “Will” Hana, an Egyptian-American businessman. The U.S. Department of Justice indicted the Democratic power couple in September 2023.

Earlier this year, Menendez announced he would seek reelection to the Senate as an independent. Currently, he is set to face off against Democrat Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) and Republican Curtis Bashaw in November. However, given the latest revelations regarding his resignation, it is unclear if Menendez will continue this independent bid.

The New Jersey Senator faces sentencing on October 29. Meanwhile, a trial for Menendez’s wife, Nadine, has been delayed as she receives treatment for breast cancer.

Data: Over 60 Percent of Voters Say Biden’s Cognitive Decline Is a National Security Threat.

An overwhelming majority of American voters say they believe Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline threatens the safety and security of the United States. New survey data from Rasmussen Reports shows that 61 percent of voters agree that the 81-year-old Democrat’s mental fitness is a national security concern.

According to the Rasmussen data, 46 percent of respondents strongly agree that “Joe Biden’s recent mental decline poses a threat to the safety and security of the United States.” An additional 15 percent somewhat agreed with the statement. Conversely, just 36 percent of voters appear dismissive of the claim.

Concerns regarding Biden‘s mental fitness hit a fever pitch following his disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Donald J. Trump. The evidence of Biden’s cognitive impairment eventually resulted in a Democrat revolt, which forced the octogenarian politician to drop his 2024 presidential election bid on July 21.

In addition to voter concerns regarding Biden‘s health and its impact on national security, the Rasmussen survey also found that nearly 50 percent of respondents rate the Democrat incumbent as one of the worst presidents in American history. The survey found that 38 percent of voters strongly agree that Biden is among the worst U.S. presidents. An additional 11 percent say they somewhat agree.

The National Pulse reported in June that Biden‘s favorability had hit a record low, according to Gallup. Just 37 percent of Americans said they viewed the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent favorably. This is the lowest Biden’s rating has been since 2007, prior to his tenure as Barack Obama‘s vice president.

Biden Coup Leader Pelosi Delivers California Delegation for Harris, Making Her Presumptive Democrat Nominee.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pushed California‘s slate of Democratic National Convention delegates to back Kamala Harris as the party’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee—effectively putting Harris over the top in vote commitments. With the state’s 496-person strong delegation backing her, Harris—at least on paper—should have enough support among Democratic delegates to stave off any potential challengers.

“It’s all different now, thanks to the selflessness of Joe Biden and the excellence of Kamala Harris,” Pelosi said just before the vote of the California delegates. She added: “I know Kamala has known some bad hombres that she’s prosecuted. However, I know Donald Trump. We must be sure that he is not elected, that he does not come within a mile of the White House ever again.”

The powerful 84-year-old San Francisco Democrat is believed to be one of the central movers behind the effort to force Joe Biden to drop his 2024 presidential re-election bid. Biden, Pelosi, and other national Democrats have all insisted that the change in candidates was fueled by polling data, showing Biden no longer had a path to victory against former President Donald J. Trump.

However, evidence suggests that Pelosi pushed Democrats to dump the 81-year-old Biden due to his declining cognitive and physical health—which has been hidden from the American public for months, if not years. The National Pulse reported last week that Pelosi was working behind the scenes to ramp up pressure on Biden to step aside as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee.

Calls for Biden to end his re-election bid and even resign as President of the United States began in earnest after this disastrous June 27 debate performance against former President Trump. Biden appeared cognitively impaired, suggesting he may be unable to execute his duties effectively.

Proof of Life? Biden Makes Strange Voice-Only Cameo at Harris Event.

Joe Biden, who has not been seen in public since July 17, apparently called into a Democratic campaign event for Kamala Harris on Monday and offered a slurring endorsement of the Vice President.

“It is so good to hear our President’s voice,” says Harris after taking the mic. “Joe, I know you’re still on the rec– on the call,” she continues, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others speculating she had been about to say “recording.”

“[W]e’ve been talking every day… We love Joe and Jill; we really do. They truly are like family to us,” she continues before Biden‘s voice comes through, extremely muffled, saying, “It’s mutual. I’m watching you, kid. I love you.”

“I love you Joe, ohhh,” replies Harris, who turns 60 in October.

During the Democratic primary contest for 2020, she publicly chastised Biden for working with segregationist senators to oppose busing, claiming this personally harmed her.

WHERE’S JOE?

Biden has not appeared in public since last Wednesday. Video from the day shows him shambling maskless from Air Force One, supposedly on his way to isolate with a COVID-19 infection despite his many vaccinations and boosters.

He later resigned as the Democrats’ presumptive nominee—but not as President—in a statement posted to social media, with no live press conference or even a prerecorded statement to accompany it.

Speculation is swirling that the 81-year-old’s health is worse than reports suggest. However, a July 22 memorandum from Biden’s doctor to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insists he is recovering well and still performing his presidential duties after ten doses of Pfizer‘s Paxlovid.

Biden’s youngest brother, Francis ‘Frank’ Biden, has said health “absolutely” played a role in the 81-year-old’s decision to exit the presidential race, and that he looks forward to “hav[ing] him back to enjoy whatever time we have left.”

Sources close to the Bidens said this is untrue and smeared Frank Biden as an alcoholic.

Where’s Joe? Questions About Biden’s Condition Swirl After He Exits Race.

Americans appear increasingly concerned about Joe Biden‘s mental and physical state after he abruptly announced that he had ended his 2024 presidential re-election campaign on Sunday. The 81-year-old Democrat notified the American people through a letter on posted on X (formerly Twitter), catching even senior White House staff by surprise.

The lack of a televised—or even pre-recorded—announcement has fueled speculation that Biden‘s health may have significantly deteriorated. Comments made by Biden’s youngest brother, Francis ‘Frank’ Biden, have only further fueled concerns. Frank Biden suggested he’d like to “enjoy whatever time we have left” with his brother, adding that the octogenarian’s health “absolutely” played a role in his decision to drop his re-election bid.

CONCERNING EVIDENCE. 

Additionally, some users on X began pointing to discrepancies between the signature appearing on Joe Biden‘s letter and his signature as it appeared on official government documents and autographs.

While some more outlandish claims by concerned Americans seem to suggest that Biden may not have signed the letter, it is the case that those suffering cognitive decline or impairment—especially from dementia or Parkinson’s disease—may see their handwriting change.

According to POLITICO, Biden did not inform senior administration officials—including cabinet secretaries—of his decision. Instead, they were told over the phone by White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients. The White House Chief of Staff himself was reportedly not informed of Biden’s decision until minutes before the letter was posted on social media.

Even White Hosue Communications Director Anita Dunn—a powerful Democratic operative with deep ties to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama—was cut out of the loop, and only found out through social media that Biden would not run for re-election. This reportedly left White House communications staff stunned and perplexed.

NO PUBLIC TRUST.

Concerningly, Biden departed Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 17 after being diagnosed with COVID-19. The 81-year-old has not been seen by the American public since, even in the aftermath of his re-election announcement.

Meanwhile, the White House’s Sunday night notice regarding Biden’s official schedule for the upcoming week lists no events—despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set to arrive in Washington, D.C., late on Monday.

The lack of transparency regarding Biden’s health has raised concerns as to whether he can continue to execute his duties or if he may be temporarily incapacitated. Despite public concern, however, the White House physician Kevin O’Connor claims that Biden is still recovering from COVID-19 but is able to perform his duties.

It should be noted that Dr. O’Connor is a close family friend of Biden’s and has been connected to James Biden‘s failed Americore healthcare scheme.

As Democrats Plunge Further Into Turmoil, Kamala Harris Huddles with Reid Hoffman & Top Donors.

Kamala Harris addressed a network of major Democratic Party donors on Friday afternoon, including anti-Trump mega-donor Reid Hoffman. Hoffman, who encouraged several prominent Silicon Valley donors to join, helped to organize the call on short notice.

It is unclear whether the call was intended to pave the way for Harris to secure donor support should 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden drop his reelection bid or if she merely sought to reassure Democrat backers as calls for Biden to drop out increase. Harris claimed that she is Biden’s running mate and that they are running on a ticket together—suggesting Biden still has no intention of dropping out.

“We continue to find ourselves in a rapidly evolving environment,” an email sent by Hoffman promoting the call to colleagues reads. He added:  “With the stakes as high as they are this cycle, we have to remain focused on the critical work that needs to be done to protect our democracy.”

In addition to Harris, the callers also heard from front-line Democratic leaders regarding the campaign situation in several critical swing states. The call lasted just over 30 minutes.

HOFFMAN, LAWFARE, & EPSTEIN.

The National Pulse has extensively covered Reid Hoffman’s partisan activities. The co-founder and executive chairman of LinkedIn has been a primary funder of lawfare efforts against former President Donald J. Trump. Hoffman bankrolled E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against the former president. In addition, Hoffman was revealed to be underwriting Smartmatic’s lawsuits against Fox News and Newsmax.

At the end of last year, Hoffman began backing former Governor Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley (R-SC) in her presidential primary campaign. While Hoffman is a Biden mega-donor, he backed Haley in the Republican presidential primary in a failed effort to prevent Trump from winning the party’s 2024 nomination.

The Silicon Valley billionaire has a history with deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. Hoffman, who visited Epstein’s island, Little St. James, is also the funder of the far-left MeidasTouch website.

Joy Reid Emerges As Lead BlueAnon Conspiracy Theorist on Attempted Trump Assassination.

Joy Reid, a far-left mainstay at MSNBC, has emerged as one of the leading BlueAnon conspiracy theorists regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. In a video posted on social media, Reid—under the auspices of ‘just asking questions’—posits Trump may have been struck by glass and not a bullet.

The far-left political commentator has long been seen as a liability for MSNBC, given her penchant for racially charged language and spreading false information. However, Reid‘s newest rant may be a bridge too far, even for the Democrat-aligned news network.

“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel—we don’t have those details,” Reid states in her video, going on to falsely claim that the public has no details from Trump’s attending physician at the Butler, Pennsylvania area hospital where he was treated.

“We know almost nothing,” the MSNBC host states before plunging deeper into her bizarre conspiracy theory: “Why don’t we know that much? We know that three people were shot, and one person was unfortunately killed at the rally. We don’t know where they were sitting or standing relative to him.”

Reid continues to spin her conspiracy theory, making unfounded claims about why Trump was held in place on the stage—ignoring Secret Service protocol that requires the evacuation route be secured prior to moving a protectee. She even acknowledges that Trump was only “allowed” to stand after his security detail determined the shooter was down.

“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump‘s ear that’s under that bandage,” she asks, implying the former president may be covering something up. In an effort to further cast doubt on what millions of Americans have now seen with their own eyes, Reid declares: “It’s weird, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of curiosity about it… it’s just a strange thing that I’ve noticed.”

Wanting to Be Buried Alongside Your Ancestors & Loved Ones Is White Nationalism: MSNBC.

In a new low, MSNBC and Netflix news personality Alex Wagner is accusing Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH) of dropping an “Easter egg of white nationalism” during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Wagner lamented that Vance’s speech “was not the same red meat, sort of blood and soil nationalism that you might hear in, I don’t know, other parallel universe Republican conventions,” suggesting she intended to smear the candidate regardless of what he said.

“I do think there were some sort of Easter eggs of white nationalism in the speech,” Wagner argued—kicking off what can only be described as an unhinged rant. She continued: “One of the things that stuck out to me was when he started talking about what America is, he said that ‘America is not just an idea, it is a group of people with a shared history and a common future.'”

She claimed that Vance‘s reference to the “plot in eastern Kentucky, where his seven or six generations of his family are buried” was a white nationalist dog whistle.

RANTING ABOUT A BURIAL PLOT.

“And I sort of understand the idea of sharing the burial plot, but it also is, it reveals someone who believes that the history that the family should inherit, and indeed the history that should be determinative in the story of the Vance family, is the history of the eastern Kentucky Vances and not the Vances from San Diego, which is where his wife is from and where her Indian parents are from,” Wagner said.

She continued: “And I just think the construction of, of this notion reveals a lot about someone who fundamentally believes in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity, and it’s couched in a sort of halcyon, you know, revisitation of his roots, but it is actually really revealing about what he thinks matters and who America is, and that America is a place for people with his shared Western background.”

The line that Wagner found so troubling in Vance‘s speech was a recollection of a heartfelt conversation with his wife: “Honey, I come with $120,000 worth of law school debt and a cemetery plot on a mountainside in eastern Kentucky.”

Joe Scarborough Demands Biden Advisors Intervene & End Campaign: ‘Not Going To End Well.’

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is calling on those closest to Joe Biden to “do the right thing” and push the 81-year-old Democrat out of the 2024 presidential race. A close ally of Biden, Scarborough has until now defended the octogenarian career politician’s decision to push forward with his re-election bid despite plummeting support and concerns about his cognitive decline.

“You know, it’s really incumbent on people that are around Joe Biden to step up at this point and help the President. And help the man they love. And do the right thing,” Scarborough said during Thursday morning’s episode of Morning Joe. “This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out.”

The Congressman turned left-wing news host stopped short of directly telling Biden he needed to leave the race. Instead, Scarborough suggested that Biden’s re-election bid has been hampered by aides who exist in a “bubble” and are not telling the incumbent the truth about his failing campaign.

“The anger that I hear is not at Joe Biden. The anger I hear are at the people [sic] who are keeping him in a bubble,” Scarborough said. The MSNBC host added: “That’s not just the anger from inside Congress. That is anger from inside the political, his own political camp, and it is widespread.”

As recently as March, the talk show host was insisting, “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Monday’s episode of Morning Joe was pulled amidst fears from MSNBC executives that Scarborough and co-host Mika Brzezinski —or their regular guests—could say something “inappropriate” about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

When they returned, the seething couple threatened to quit the network if they are benched in the same way again.
