Joe Biden’s press conference was a colossal train wreck, with him showcasing once again how his own ego and self-interest drive his decisions. He arrogantly admitted that even if he knew Kamala Harris stood a better chance against Trump, he wouldn’t step down unless he believed he couldn’t win – conveniently claiming no one was advising him to bow out.
But the reality, as my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell detailed, is that numerous polls were highlighting Biden’s dwindling popularity and impending doom. It’s clear he values his and perhaps his wife Jill’s ambition over the well-being of the country he claims is under threat by Trump.
And how does the Biden camp choose to spin this disaster? Well, enter White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates, the guy tasked with mopping up after Biden’s verbal spills. In a jaw-dropping attempt at deflection, Bates quipped that Biden doesn’t hold a doctorate in foreign affairs – as if that somehow justifies Biden’s abysmal track record in global relations.
Biden’s cognitive slip-ups were on full display during the presser, with him confusing world leaders and political opponents, a far cry from the supposed foreign policy prowess the administration is touting. Even former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates didn’t mince words when he noted Biden’s consistent blunders in foreign affairs over the past forty years.
As for Biden’s foreign policy failures, the repercussions are devastatingly real. The disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal led to the tragic deaths of 13 American service members, a fact conveniently omitted by Biden in his self-serving narratives. His feeble response to global crises, like downplaying potential Russian aggression and neglecting American hostages in Gaza, only emboldens adversaries and puts American interests at risk.

The mainstream media’s desperate attempts to salvage Biden’s reputation are futile. His ineptitude in both foreign and domestic matters, evident in skyrocketing inflation and interest rates, is threatening the very fabric of American society. The looming question isn’t whether Biden is failing – it’s which aspect of governance he’s failing at the hardest.
Despite the Democratic Party’s reluctance to address Biden’s shortcomings, the stark reality remains: Biden’s delusions and lies have no place in the Oval Office. The countdown to the next election is on, with hopes that a more competent leader will restore America’s standing on the global stage.
