Biden Rips Democratic Elites
During a Monday morning interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, President Biden put his foot down and directly challenged the Democratic elites who are trying to force him out of the presidential race.
Joe Scarborough asked the President, “But I've got to say it looks like this past week has been the worst week for the far-right nationalists between Britain and France. I'm wondering what you say about that and what message you will send to NATO Allies this week.”
Biden responded:
Look, Joe, I think that's because I'm clear about 2020 and 2024. Not only were they wrong? I said they were wrong beforehand. I said we were gonna win and how we're going to win. I didn't pretend about it. It wasn't like, oh my God, I was surprised, I was not surprised. I predicted that I knew what we were doing. Number one, number two, you may remember. I was one of the few people out there publicly saying before the 2022 election, there will be no red wave, there will be no red wave because I've been all over the country. I didn't believe it at all. And then in 2023 the key elections, I went into those races, not every one of them, but a lot of them. And I said we were going to win. Look at them, we won those. So Joe, it wasn't just that it didn't happen I was predicting beforehand it would not happen because I've got a pretty good political instinct and I, and here's the deal, it's not going to happen here this time around the American public is not going to move away from me as the average voter.
And again, I'm here for two reason, pal. One is to rebuild the economy for hard-working, middle-class people to give everybody a shot. That's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance. Number one, number two. Remember all this talk about how I don't have the black support. Come on, give me a break. Come with me, watch, watch. I'm getting so frustrated by the elites. Now, I'm not talking about you guys but by the elites in the party who they know so much more than me. But any of these guys, who I don't think I should run. Let them run against me. Go ahead, announce for president. Challenge me at the convention.

You know, on Europe, the polls were wrong in France. You know, there, there, there's no right wave or tide here in America either by the way, in case you're wondering whether there is one. Have you ever seen Trump run away so fast? From what he's for, you know, he's gonna do it anyway. But I mean, he's such a liar.

We were the first to connect the dots and identify a group of Democratic elites who were trying to force Biden out. What the President is trying to do is get these people to step up and stop hiding behind anonymous sourcing and leaks to the press.
If they want Biden out, they need to beat him.
