Joe Biden Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About the Election

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

 

President Joe Biden has finally said what millions of Americans are thinking: that former President Donald Trump will win the 2024 election. 

"We cannot win this reelection.. we can only reelect Donald Trump!" Biden said while speaking to a group of rallygoers in Missouri.

Recent polls show that Trump leads Biden in key battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Trump holds 48 percent of the vote in these crucial states, while Biden has just 44 percent. 

It is important to note that Biden won several key battleground states in 2020, including Arizona. However, flash forward to today, Trump is on track to securing the majority of the votes.

NEW YORK – Former President Donald Trump has broken political norms by visiting one of the most deep-blue areas in New York City, a town not necessarily known for its kindness to Republicans.

Trump rallied a crowd of what his campaign estimated to be 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 it said were expected to attend. Those numbers appeared to also include those lined up outside the event – who waited hours for a shot at getting inside even after the event began.

New Emails Show John Kerry Blocked FBI From Making Arrests on Iranian Terrorists to Protect Iran Deal

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet 

Everyone knows Obama didn’t want to bomb Iran, which was becoming the only option to slow their nuclear weapons program unless a deal was struck. That infamous deal, which became Obama’s signature foreign policy achievement, did next to nothing to slow Tehran’s ambitions to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Guy wrote extensively about the deal’s shortfalls, and now we have a new chapter in the annals of Obama’s failed foreign policy: the FBI was muzzled from arresting suspect Iranian agents and terrorists to avoid mucking up the Iran deal negotiations. 

Fox News obtained documents showing that in 2015, John Kerry’s State Department vigorously stymied the FBI from doing its job regarding arresting individuals who posed a threat to national security. A whistleblower has come forward with these allegations (via Fox News):

The Obama-Biden State Department "actively interfered" to prevent the FBI from executing arrest warrants on individuals illegally in the United States who were allegedly supporting Iranian financial efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction, whistleblowers told Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson. Read more, see letter, and emails here.

Trump’s map edge: Biden has tougher path to victory, veteran Dem adviser says

Mike Allen / AXIOS

 

Just over six months from Nov. 5, longtime Democratic adviser Doug Sosnik tells Axios that while either candidate can win, President Biden has the narrower, tougher path to 270 electoral college votes, for three reasons.

Why it matters: Biden has been rising in polls since the State of the Union address. But Democrats continue to sweat their chances in the state-by-state math that determines U.S. presidents.

1. The electoral college favors Republicans: The last two Republican presidents were first elected despite losing the popular vote.
2. Biden can no longer count on carrying Michigan, which voted overwhelmingly Democratic in the past three election cycles.
3. Biden’s 2020 victories in the Sunbelt battleground states — Arizona, Nevada and Georgia — were due to his overwhelming support from young and non-white voters. Polling shows Biden has suffered a significant erosion with these voters during his presidency. Read more here.

Here's When Merrick Garland Will Testify Before the House Judiciary Committee 

Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

Attorney General Merrick Garland has certainly been in the news quite a bit lately, as the House Oversight and Committee and House Judiciary Committee just voted last week to move forward with holding him in contempt, albeit in the midst of some late night drama. This comes after the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to turn over the audio from Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigations, though Matt's highlighted how Garland has "torched" his own argument. Reports are now coming in that Garland will also be testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on June 4 to discuss "broad oversight."

A source familiar confirmed the June 4 date with Townhall as well. Such a date is just two weeks away.

Ted Cruz Didn't Mince Words When Ripping Into Antony Blinken

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) showed no mercy toward Secretary of State Antony Blinken for presiding over unprecedented chaos regarding American foreign policy before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee yesterday. The Texas Republican did not mince words ripping into Blinken and the Biden administration for pushing policies that undermine our allies and appease and strengthen our enemies. 

Cruz bashed our top diplomat for nearly 10 minutes, highlighting the shambolic mess we’ve created in Ukraine, the inability to curb Iran’s influence, and our Russian roulette-like tactics with Israel. Trump had Iran under control. Biden allowed them to be flushed with oil money again, which Blinken tried to deny, but Cruz kept pushing how the world’s largest state sponsor of terror was selling 300,000 barrels of oil a day to 2 million under Biden’s watch. That oil revenue went to training the Hamas terrorists who carried out the October 7 attacks.
