According to the results of a new survey published Wednesday, Biden and President Donald Trump are currently dead even in the state of Virginia.

The Democrat stronghold of Virginia hasn’t backed a Republican for the White House in two decades.

A coalition of progressive groups has called on Democrats to reject political donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee because it has aggressively targeted progressives who have been critical of Israel.

“We have watched as AIPAC has done everything it can to silence growing dissent in Congress against [Israeli leader Benjamin] Netanyahu’s assault on Gaza ― which has killed over 31,000 Palestinians ― even as Democratic voters overwhelmingly support a ceasefire and oppose sending more blank checks to the Israeli military,” the Reject AIPAC coalition said in a statement.

The statement referred to reports that AIPAC is preparing to spend tens of millions of dollars on the 2024 elections and that the group’s top contributors include Republican Party megadonors.

The coalition is made up of about 25 organizations, including Justice Democrats, the Working Families Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action, Jewish Voice for Peace Action, Our Revolution and the Sunrise Movement.

Trump lawyer Alina Habba said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that guest host Shannon Bream was incorrect on the source behind the business record trial against former President Trump.

Habba said, “Joe Biden, unfortunately, can’t really do anything in office So, he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip-and-fall and make money. And that is frankly what we’re seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show because he’s got to distract the American people.”

Bream said, “But the Biden administration’s not responsible for this trial.”

John Legend suggests Black voters leaving Biden over ‘misinformation’

Left-leaning singer John Legend in an appearance on podcast “Pod Save America” this week shared his stance on the upcoming presidential election, claiming President Joe Biden is losing Black voter support due to “misinformation.”

The Biden campaign still holds an edge over former President Donald Trump with Black voters, but that margin has narrowed in recent months. On the “no-bulls—” podcast, which is run by several former aides to former President Barack Obama, Legend addressed the topic of Black voters supporting Trump.

“This election is not about age,” the first lady said. “I mean, Donald Trump’s going to be, what? 78? Joe’s 81. They’re basically the same age, right? But it’s about character. This election is about character, so you have two choices — you have my husband, Joe, who you all know, who has integrity, he’s strong, he’s steady, he’s a leader, he’s smart, he’s energetic — or you have chaos.”

Joe Biden held a campaign rally in one of the largest cities in the nation Wednesday, and failed to fill the college gym. Biden and Kamala Harris appeared at Girard College, a predominantly Black boarding school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The venue appeared to be less than half full, with a large portion of the crowd made up of the press, according to a photo posted by the RNC on X.

 

Harry Sisson,  a paid Democrat operative who actively promotes Biden on social media, suggested that the above image portrayed the rally before it started, and posted a cropped photo that made the room appear fuller.

“Biden had a packed house in Philly today. Glad you got there early!” Sisson commented in response to the RNC’s post.

A prominent Manhattan Democrat has appeared on CNN to raise the alarm over fears of a “rising red wave in New York.”

During a Wednesday appearance on CNN, New York political leader Mark Levine warned that the Democratic Party could no longer afford to ignore working-class voters.

Levine, the Manhattan Borough president, said that voters are increasingly being drawn to President Donald Trump and the Republicans, even in traditionally deep blue strongholds like New York City.

“We cannot take working-class voters for granted,” Mark Levine warned CNN.

Joe Biden dispatched his political team to the microphones outside the courthouse where he sicced a DOJ transplant to prosecute his opponent, Donald Trump. Up to this point, the Biden regime gamely denied that this wasn’t a political show trial, claiming that it was a legitimate prosecution based on legal payments that they of course had nothing to do with.

But then he sent his political team to drum up votes outside the courthouse. Biden’s attempt to troll Trump while he was in court fighting for his freedom against bizarre bookkeeping charges confirmed what we’d known all along.

At the time that actor Robert De Niro and other Biden political surrogates were being besieged by hecklers and car alarms, Donald Trump was in the courtroom watching his attorneys explain to the five-woman, seven-man jury that bookkeeping entries didn’t rise to the level of 34 felonies and years in the slammer. The jury will get the case after the judge gives them the jury instructions, which as I write about nearby, are more about jurors being able to choose their convictions à la carte from a “Get Trump” menu.

Trump tells donors that the student demonstrators are part of a ‘radical revolution’ and promises to defeat them.

Former United States President Donald Trump has promised that he will crack down on pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses if he wins the 2024 US presidential election.

Earlier this month, the likely Republican nominee told a small group of predominantly Jewish donors that he would expel student demonstrators, who he claimed were part of a “radical revolution”, from the US if he is elected, according to a report by The Washington Post released on Monday.

“If you get me elected, and you should really be doing this … we’re going to set that movement back 25 or 30 years,” Trump said, according to the report, quoting people at the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT can’t seem to recall five of the many, many lies President Joe Biden has told over the years.

MRC researchers asked the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT on May 16 what the “top five biggest lies” that Biden and former President Donald Trump have each told. The chatbot claimed that for Biden it “can’t list specific lies without context or verification.” Yet, it had no problem listing off five debated comments that Trump has made. Nearly two weeks later, the chatbot happened to remember a few.

MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider pointed out that when AI comes up with totally botched answers like these, users must look to the programmers. “People should never forget that artificial intelligence is a combination of human-generated algorithms,” he said. “This sort of data manipulation is intended by the Big Tech oligarchs who want to use their vast power and resources to influence elections.”

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is going all-in on presenting former President Donald Trump as a threat to democracy as polling continues to show Biden sinking in swing states.

Biden’s campaign has enlisted the assistance of three police officers who worked at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, to further its latest strategy, CNN reports.

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Officer Harry Dunn, and Officer Danny Hodges will accuse Trump of posing a threat to democracy in key swing states, beginning in Nevada and Arizona.

Dunn is fresh off a primary defeat in a campaign for a congressional seat from Maryland. His campaign failed after troubling allegations of domestic abuse resurfaced, as well as reports that he was suspended without pay from the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) in 2012 after improperly handling his department-issued firearm.

Every politician with any ambition — which is almost all of them — looks in the mirror and sees someone who belongs in a higher office. J.B. Pritzker is no exception. Whether Joe Biden wins or loses this November, the Democratic Party will need a new candidate next time around. And our governor is already positioning himself for a run.

For one, Pritzker has leaned into the Democrats’ strongest issue of the Biden era, abortion rights, which will almost certainly still be salient come 2028. He has declared Illinois “the most progressive state” on reproductive rights and made it an abortion haven by signing legislation that allows out-of-state medical professionals to perform the procedure here and shields patients from attempts by other states to prevent them from traveling to Illinois for abortions.
