A sense of vindication swept through the White House and Biden campaign on Wednesday after Democrats’ strong showing in off-year elections, despite a slew of recent polls showing U.S. President Joe Biden’s popularity is low.

“Pollsters, pundits, if I had $1, for every time they’ve counted Joe Biden or the Democrats out, I probably wouldn’t have to work anymore,” Sam Cornale, executive director of the Democratic National Committee, told Reuters. Democrats “won time and again, and we will next November,” he predicted.

    “show path to 2024 victory”

    Yeah, do a Truman - embrace those liberal ideals you’ve been tiptoeing around and tell the GOP to suck it the fuck up.

      Democrats are complacent because Trump exists and people will vote blue no matter who. I’m so tired of their fake outrage.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Biden faced questions this week, including from some in his own Democratic Party, about the wisdom of his 2024 re-election bid after a series of weak polls.

    Some segments of the diverse Democratic coalition have lost faith in Biden, frustrated by his Israel stance, the lack of movement on climate change, or high prices.

    In Ohio, for example, exit polls from NBC showed voters skewed Democratic on Tuesday, although Trump won the state by 8 percentage points in 2020.

    Republican political strategist Mary Anna Mancuso said polls today offer little indication of what will happen in 2024 but that Tuesday’s results may spell trouble for her party.

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who earlier this week noted that polls predicting a “red wave” for the Republicans in the 2020 midterms were misleading, said the latest election results bolstered Biden’s re-election argument that his policies matter most.

    Harris, who appeared in the White House driveway so abruptly that she interrupted Jean-Pierre’s scheduled press conference, closed with an optimistic prediction about next November.

    Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile, in newly released excerpts of her forthcoming book, alleges that an unethical agreement was signed between Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the DNC to keep the party financially afloat.

    In excerpts from “Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns that Put Donald Trump in the White House,” published in Politico, Brazile writes the DNC was rigged in Clinton’s favor because her campaign was largely financing the party early on in the presidential election.

    Gee let’s listen to the DNC idiot proclaiming victory for a senile unelectable candidate.

    Let me see, what happened a few weeks ago?

    President Joe Biden’s 2024 campaign, the Democratic National Committee and a joint fundraising organization that raises money for Democrats’ state parties collectively raised more than $71 million in the third quarter, according to Biden’s re-election effort.

    The primary system is 100% rigged again like in 2016.

    Former vice president Joe Biden’s presidential campaign installed new administrative leadership at the Democratic National Committee on Friday, as the two organizations forged a new deal that will allow for a dramatic expansion of fundraising capacity in the coming months.
