Biden campaign staffers were completely blindsided by Joe Biden’s announcement dropping out of the 2024 race.

Joe Biden officially dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday.

Biden made the announcement on X like a coward. He has been hiding out at his Rehoboth Beach house for four days.

About 30 minutes later Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris.

“My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.” Biden said on X.

According to Politico, Biden’s campaign staffers were actively whipping up delegate support as Joe Biden announced he is dropping out of the race.

‘None of us understand what’s happening,” a staffer told Politico. “We’re all finding out by tweet.”

Pathetic.

Politico reported:

President Joe Biden’s state campaign aides were telephoning delegates ahead of next month’s Democratic convention at the very moment he announced his withdrawal from the race Sunday afternoon.

“It was a nationwide push to shore up delegates for the roll call,” said a Biden state official, whose fellow staffers were conducting the outreach. In the weeks since his disastrous debate, Biden aides have been working to keep delegates to the Chicago convention in line.

In another sign of how the president’s decision stunned even his own staff, his Delaware-based campaign leadership concluded a staff call with state aides just minutes before Biden released his letter withdrawing from the race.

A few weeks ago, a poll showed Donald Trump with a slight lead over Joe Biden in Virginia. Now another poll is showing the same thing. This is potentially huge news.

If Trump beats Biden in Virginia in November, it is over for Biden. A Republican has not carried Virginia in a presidential race since 2004.

A Trump win here would be indicative of a landslide election.

WRIC News reports:

New poll shows Trump leading Biden in Virginia, political analyst says Biden is in ‘deep trouble’

New polling shows former President Donald Trump is beating President Joe Biden in Virginia.

The latest Emerson College poll, sponsored by WRIC’s parent company Nexstar, found that 45% of registered voters in Virginia are backing Trump, with Biden garnering 43% of the vote.

“The real question is, is any of this getting to Biden? Do the people around him tell him?” said Larry Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “He is in deep, deep, deep, trouble.”

Sabato said the poll should serve as a warning sign to the Biden campaign. Biden beat Trump by ten points in Virginia on his way to winning the White House in 2020.

“Biden is running 12 points below his showing in 2020,” Sabato said. “That’s terrible. I mean, it’s really awful. He is an incumbent president.”

Democrats are right to be worried about this.

JD Vance is calling on Joe Biden to resign his office as president, noting that if there are questions about Joe’s ability to run for president then he shouldn’t be serving as president.

This is a point that has been made by other critics of Biden ever since members of his own party began calling on him to step aside as a candidate.

Even some liberals have made this point.

Breitbart News reports:

JD Vance Demands Joe Biden Resign from Office: ‘If You Can’t Run, You Can’t Serve’

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (OH) demanded President Joe Biden “resign” from office in a Saturday X post.

“Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism,” Vance, whom former President Donald Trump selected as his running mate on Monday, wrote.

“If you can’t run, you can’t serve. He should resign now,” he stated…

The senator’s post comes as Biden faces mounting pressure to back out of the presidential race, with about two-thirds of Democrats surveyed in a Wednesday Associated Press/NORC poll saying he should drop out.

Calls for Biden to give up on his reelection campaign have even come from people on his team, with several of his “closest allies” telling NBC News that he has no chance of winning.

See Vance’s tweet below:

Everyone calling on Joe Biden to *stop running* without also calling on him to resign the presidency is engaged in an absurd level of cynicism.

If you can’t run, you can’t serve.

He should resign now.

Some news outlets have reported that Biden is considering dropping out of the race but his campaign continues to insist that is not true.

Biden just keeps digging in his heels.

There aren’t many reasons to ever watch CNN, but commentator Scott Jennings might be one of them.

Jennings is a right leaning figure and often clashes with the rest of the panel, no matter who is on it. He also has a very funny way of doing it.

This weekend, Jennings called out the Democrats for trying to organize a ‘coup’ to oust Biden after calling themselves the party of democracy, and he is absolutely right.

The Daily Wire has details:

‘Delicious’: CNN’s Scott Jennings Says ‘The Party Of Democracy Is Now Organizing A Coup’

CNN commentator Scott Jennings said during a Friday segment that he was starting to feel like he needed to “take up for” President Joe Biden as the wolves within his own party circle and call for his ouster.

Jennings, a Republican, made the comments during a panel discussion — hosted by Abby Phillip and including former CNN host Brian Stelter — about the disarray within the Democratic Party as multiple prominent Democrats come forward and say they don’t have confidence that Biden can beat former President Donald Trump or that he has the cognitive abilities to serve another four-year term as president.

“I feel like I need to take up for the president here,” Jennings said, prompting laughs from the panel. “Because he won millions and millions of votes to earn the Democratic nomination, and I find it delicious that the ‘party of democracy’ is no organizing a coup against the sitting President of the United States. It’s crazy!”

His point was so well made that even the liberals on the panel laughed. Watch:

Folks, we need to take up for President Biden. The “party of democracy” is organizing an undemocratic coup against our President & we need to speak up for the very fabric of our Constitution. My latest tonight on @cnn w/ @abbydphillip & friends. pic.twitter.com/WdgITPmay1

If the higher-ups at CNN had any brains, they would give Jennings his own show.

According to a video posted by Noah Formica, a Field Representative for Turning Point Action in Pennsylvania, a woman openly called for the assassination of President Donald J. Trump, one week after the assassin’s bullet almost took the life of the former POTUS at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Just met this lady at the York State Fair.

She is openly calling for the assassination of President Trump

This is the evil we are dealing with in our country.

We are in a spiritual battle for our country & @TPAction_ is here to help.

Formica said he was with several volunteers registering new voters for the upcoming election, when the unidentified individual went on a verbal rampage against President Trump, saying she wanted him to be shot, because she “wanted to get rid of him.”

The woman went on to rant about illegal immigrants menstruating, about how she is upset about the illegal immigrants getting deported under President Trump. After posting just a few hours ago, the video has gone viral, garnering over 3,000 reposts on X, formerly known as Twitter, and has nearly 500,000 views.

Formica told this GP journalist in an exclusive quote that he simply asked the woman if she was registered to vote and then it she went off the rails.

We kindly asked this woman if she was registered to vote, and she turned hostile. She was inciting violence on President Trump multiple times and even threatened one of our staffers by telling him he deserved to be shot as well. The lady said she was Christian as well. No Christian should act like this,” explained Formica, who has registered thousands of new voters to date in the state of Pennsylvania. 

James Copenhaver, a retired undercover police detective and liaison to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, said the video was “shocking” and “raises grave concerns” about continued political violence in this country leading up to the November 5th election. He also told TGP that law enforcement must swiftly investigate “sympathizers” who cheered the assassination attempt on President Trump and continue to call for his execution.

“The fact that there are individuals openly advocating for the murder of a political figure is a serious threat to our democratic process and national security. This situation compels us to question the effectiveness and readiness of the United States Secret Service, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies.

It is imperative that these agencies are thoroughly investigating not only the perpetrators of this attempted assassination, but also any sympathizers who may be encouraging or planning similar acts of violence.

The safety of our leaders and the integrity of our democratic institutions depend on a swift and decisive response to these threats,” explained Copenhaver who has spent the past decade as a national security commentator on high profile domestic terrorist incidents like the shooting of 49 people at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, the massacre at the country music festival in Las Vegas, and has given over three dozen interviews assessing the assassination on President Trump over the past week. 

Formica said he did report it to law enforcement, who said they will be investigating the situation. The video account of the deranged rant was verified by The Gateway Pundit, after speaking to several eyewitnesses, including author and America First advocate Bobby Jeffries, also of Pennsylvania.

“At the end of the day, I am praying for this woman’s salvation and sanity,” concluded Formica. 

Congratulations to Mr. Formica and others for keeping their cool, amid an increasingly hostile political climate.

Excellent start to the York County State Fair at the @TPAction_ booth.

We assisted so many people today! Helped someone from Wisconsin, and also helped a former felon register to vote.

We saw a lot of Democrats & Independents switch to Republican!
