Democrat Party officials say they are now facing a critical shortage of intimidating insults with which to silence people who have opposing opinions. According to Democrat Vladimir Mohammed Jihad Lenin Chu Mohammed, Chairman of the Leftist Agency of Derogatory Intimidation, or LADDIE — or LADY, depending on your pronouns — the shortage could endanger Joe Biden’s chances of re-election in the event he comes back to life before November.
Mr. Lenin Chu Mohammed spoke to The Daily Wire on condition of anonymity, saying, “We started by calling conservatives racist, but that made it sound like hating white people might be a bad thing. So we moved on to calling them Hitler, but then we found out that Hitler believed in authoritarian government, imprisoning dissenters, and hating Jews, which is our entire platform. Finally, we tried calling them Christian Nationalists, but then we discovered that means people who believe in God and love their country, which turns out to be almost everybody except us. If we don’t come up with a new intimidating insult soon, we won’t be able to silence opposition and we’ll be forced to try to rationalize our policies, which obviously would be a disaster.”
An unnamed Democrat source named Sergei Mohammed Wong Nikita Jihad says Democrat strategists have been working around the clock to come up with a brilliant new plan to replenish their supply of intimidating insults by using words that mean absolutely nothing so they can’t be turned against them. In a memo leaked by an anonymous Democrat source named Rashida Ilhan Alexandria Tucker Carlson, the unnamed LADDIE-or-LADY chairman Lenin Chu Mohammed writes, “In the past, meaningless words have worked well for the Democrat party. We used such sentences as ‘The border is secure,’ ‘trans-women are women,’ ‘the demonstrations are mostly peaceful,’ and ‘George Floyd was an innocent man murdered by racist police’ in which certain words were completely devoid of any recognizable meaning, like the words ‘secure,’ ‘women,’ ‘peaceful’ and ‘innocent man murdered by racist police.’”
Thus, in the hope of preventing future shortages of intimidating insults, the LADDIE or LADY is proposing that Democrats simply start hurling complete gibberish at their opponents in angry voices that make it sound insulting.

For instance, a proposed Joe Biden speech was leaked by an anonymous source close to LADDIE or LADY named Fang Fang Jihad Tucker Vladimir Ilhan Stalin. The Biden speech says: “Never before have we faced so great a threat to ka-boob-acy as the rise of radical far-right Maga scabadabalism in the halls of rinky-tinkadum. Since the founding of this great ka-boob-nik rinkytinkadum has rejected scabadalism in the name of all that’s kaboo-bastic, but now scabadalists are thralling every sconus of kaboobacy’s tinkadum until the very swillingforth of sentastic fillemup tooters on the flink of shooga-boogacy. This admino-groin will unthrall the scabadabs from kaboob-nik’s rinkytinks and restore kaboobik wumpas of sheroob-adum or my name is not Joe Biden, if that is my name.”
This proposed speech was later withdrawn when it turned out Biden had already said something similar in off-the-cuff remarks he had made to a 12-year-old girl while he was chasing her around the room trying to smell her hair.
As the shortage of intimidating insults moves toward crisis, an anonymous source within the DNC named Ubersturmfuhrer Hamas von Mao tse Sanders Pressley-Ramirez, says the party is exploring more radical options, like trying to justify their policies to sentient human beings with the capacity for reason, or if that’s not possible, then just to leftist women, or if even they’re too intelligent, maybe just the CEO of NPR.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, Mister Miss Uberstormfuhrer Pressley-Ramirez told The Daily Wire, “We figure, hey, we convinced our voters the climate is a crisis, killing babies is a human right, butchering children will change their sex, and Joe Biden wasn’t making money off his family’s influence peddling business, we might also get them to believe we’re turning the country to crap for a good reason. We just have to explain that high food prices help you lose weight or that letting unchecked illegals flood the country will make it easier to find a gardener who’ll murder your mother-in-law. After all, these people voted for us. How smart can they be?”

Despite criticizing former President Donald Trump for using campaign donations to help pay his massive legal bills, Democrats also used campaign funds to help President Joe Biden pay lawyers during the special counsel probe into his handling of classified documents, according to Axios.
The outlet <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/04/12/dnc-covered-biden-legal-bills-special-counsel-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Friday that between July 2023 and February 2024, the Democratic National Committee paid over $1.5 million to lawyers or firms that represented Biden during the classified documents probe, according to the DNC’s financial filings. In recent days, the Biden campaign has slammed Trump for spending campaign donations on legal fees while claiming that “every single dime” given to the Biden-Harris campaign is spent on “talking to voters.”
“Every single dime that you give to the Biden-Harris re-election campaign we spend talking to voters,” Biden Campaign Finance Chair Rufus Gifford told MSNBC last weekend.
“What is [Trump] doing? He might put up some money tonight with his billionaire friends in a closed-door fundraiser in Palm Beach. We understand that,” Gifford continued, adding. “We are not spending money on legal bills. We are not hawking gold sneakers or any of that stuff. The money that we are raising, we are going straight to talking to voters.”

As it turns out, Democrats have also spent a significant amount of money covering the president during his own legal challenges. From July of last year through February 2024, the DNC paid just over $1 million to Bob Bauer PLLC, the professional limited liability company of Biden’s top Lawyer Bob Bauer. Additionally, beginning in July 2023, the DNC increased monthly payments to the Hemenway &amp; Barnes law firm from $15,000 a month to $100,000 a month during special counsel Robert Hur’s probe into Biden.
The DNC did not reveal exactly how much it had spent on legal fees for Biden during Hur’s investigation, which ultimately resulted in no charges. Hur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/special-counsel-biden-has-significantly-limited-memory-didnt-remember-when-he-was-vp-or-when-son-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” but did not suggest bringing any charges, in part, because a jury would view Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The Republican National Committee paid around $1.6 million to cover some of Trump’s legal fees in 2021 that stemmed from the civil business fraud case. At the time, a DNC spokeswoman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/16/us/politics/rnc-trump-investigations.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The New York Times, “If we were the RNC’s donors, we would certainly be asking questions.”
Biden’s legal fees pale in comparison to Trump’s $100 million in legal bills, not including the $175 million bond he recently posted in his New York civil business fraud case. As Trump faces the mounting fees, the Biden campaign has jumped out to an early <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-rnc-posts-impressive-fundraising-haul-in-march-but-remain-far-behind-bidens-war-chest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fundraising lead</a>, but a reported <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-brings-in-50-5-million-at-campaign-fundraising-event-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$50 million haul</a> from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago fundraiser event last Saturday pushes him closer to the Biden campaign’s numbers.

The Democratic National Committee launched four billboards in Grand Rapids, Michigan, targeting independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his Super PAC, American Values 2024, taking donations from a former Trump mega-donor.
The DNC billboards will be up as Kennedy <a href="https://www.wjr.com/2024/02/09/independent-president-rfk-jr-to-visit-michigan-amid-struggle-to-get-on-state-ballots/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">holds a rally</a> at the St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids on Saturday. The signs purchased by the DNC hit Kennedy for his Super PAC receiving $15 million in donations from transportation executive Timothy Mellon, who also donated $10 million to Super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump, MAGA Inc., last year, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4459624-dnc-launches-billboards-michigan-hitting-rfk-jr-donors-linked-to-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Both Kennedy’s and Trump’s faces are featured on the DNC’s billboards, which read, “RFK Jr. powered by MAGA Trump. Same biggest donor Timothy Mellon.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“RFK Jr. isn’t fooling anyone,” DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd told The Hill. “He’s powered and bankrolled by the same extreme MAGA donor as Donald Trump, and Trump’s allies have already called him a useful chaos agent in this election.”
“Michiganders deserve better than a stalking horse for extreme MAGA Republicans,” he added.
Kennedy, who switched to an independent bid after initially entering the Democratic primary, is still seeking to get on the ballot in Michigan, a vital battleground state, for the upcoming presidential election. On Friday, the DNC also <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/09/politics/dnc-rfk-jr-campaign-fec-complaint/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, alleging that the Kennedy campaign is illegally coordinating with American Values 2024. The DNC alleged that Kennedy is “trying to take the short cut” by having his Super Pac lead the effort to get him on the ballot in all 50 states.
Kennedy fired back on Friday, posting on X, “The DNC is accusing my campaign of FEC violations in the form of sharing state-approved petition formats — petition formats so secretive they are posted on our website for use by all our volunteers nationwide.”
“The efforts by the DNC to suppress democracy, silence descent, and handpick our national leaders in smoke-filled rooms are radical departures from the core values of a party my family helped to build,” Kennedy added.

The independent candidate has secured spots on the ballot in Utah and New Hampshire, according to his campaign.
Democrats have expressed concern about Kennedy’s independent presidential run as polls show the nephew of President John F. Kennedy could play spoiler in the 2024 election. In a head-to-head matchup, Biden trails Trump by just two points, according to the Real Clear Politics <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a> of polling data. However, when a <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-biden-vs-kennedy-vs-west-vs-stein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">five-way race</a> — which includes Kennedy and candidates Jill Stein and Cornell West — is factored in, Biden trails Trump by nearly five percentage points with Kennedy polling at 13%.
“Donors from across the political spectrum are supporting the Kennedy campaign as they are tired of the corruption in the two-party system,” a Kennedy campaign spokesman told The Hill, responding to the DNC’s billboards. “Instead, donors want an independent candidate who will heal the divide, restore the middle class, end the forever wars, unravel corporate capture, and the end chronic disease epidemic.&#8221;

Federal authorities say <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-cop-who-responded-to-pipe-bombs-sentenced-in-january-6-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a pair of pipe bombs were planted</a> outside the RNC’s and the DNC’s offices in Washington, D.C., on the evening of January 5, 2021, the night before the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6. Surveillance video of the suspect previously released to the public shows a hooded figure carrying around a backpack and, at one point, sitting on a bench looking at what appears to be a phone.

The FBI said the bombs did not denote, but the agency stressed that &#8220;it is important to remember the suspect walked along residential and commercial areas in Capitol Hill just blocks from the U.S. Capitol with viable pipe bombs that could have seriously injured or killed innocent bystanders. Moreover, the suspect may still pose a danger to the public or themselves.&#8221;
Authorities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-cop-who-responded-to-pipe-bombs-sentenced-in-january-6-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">located the bombs</a> on January 6, which is the day when rioters breached the U.S. Capitol and disrupted lawmakers as they worked to certify Joe Biden’s presidential victory, after a local resident said <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-found-january-6-pipe-bomb-rnc-washington-2021-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she spotted the device</a> near the RNC and reported it to a security guard.  The pipe bomb found near the DNC <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/31/politics/kamala-harris-january-6-2021-democratic-national-committee/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly prompted</a> the evacuation of then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris from the building.
&#8220;Over the past three years, a dedicated team of FBI agents, analysts, data scientists, and law enforcement partners has worked thousands of hours conducting interviews, reviewing physical and digital evidence, and assessing tips from the public about who may have placed pipe bombs on Capitol Hill,&#8221; said David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office.

“The tips we have received so far from the American people have helped us advance the investigation, and we ask the public to continue to assist us by taking a fresh look at our Seeking Information webpage, which includes images and video of the suspect, the suspect’s backpack, the suspect’s shoes, the explosive devices, and a map of the route the suspect walked the night the pipe bombs were placed,&#8221; Sundberg added.
Republicans in Congress have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-lawmakers-demand-fbi-share-findings-in-d-c-pipe-bomb-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressed</a> federal law enforcement to be more forthcoming in what they have found in their investigation.

&#8220;For those who are somehow tempted to engage in pushing and shoving &#8230; I&#8217;m totally opposed to that. They should study the history of non-violent movements in America,&#8221; Raskin added.

An estimated 200 people gathered in front of the DNC headquarters on Wednesday night to demand a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where U.S.-backed Israeli forces are fighting Hamas following terrorist attacks in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> last month and working to free hundreds of hostages believed to be held in the enclave.
The U.S. Capitol Police released a <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> saying members of Congress were in the building when the demonstrators ignored orders to move back from the DNC.
In explaining how the demonstrators were &#8220;not peaceful,&#8221; the Capitol Police said the group pepper-sprayed officers as well as punching them, moved dumpsters in front of the exits, and attempted to pick up a bike rack.
Six officers were injured — including getting pepper sprayed and being punched — and one person was arrested for assaulting an officer, the Capitol Police <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a>
The incident at the DNC was so harrowing that one House Democrat even reportedly compared the events of that night to the U.S. Capitol breach on January 6, 2021.
It &#8220;scared me more than January 6,&#8221; the unnamed lawmaker <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/16/dnc-lawmakers-evacuated-house-offices-lockdown-israel-hamas-war-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Axios</a>.

An unidentified House Democrat reportedly told Axios that Wednesday evening&#8217;s pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Washington, D.C., had been more frightening than the Capitol breach that took place on January 6, 2021.
According to multiple reports, pro-Palestinian protesters forced lockdowns at the Democratic National Committee and House office buildings, clashing with police as they demanded a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas.
At least one Democratic lawmaker reportedly drew a comparison to the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/11/16/dnc-lawmakers-evacuated-house-offices-lockdown-israel-hamas-war-protest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">telling Axios</a> that the events &#8220;scared me more than January 6.&#8221; When the House member attempted to leave the DNC, &#8220;someone sent out word for people to come [back] and police said it&#8217;s not safe. Police were wearing gas masks &#8230; this was not peaceful.&#8221;
Capitol Police apparently agreed with that assessment, calling the demonstration &#8220;unlawful&#8221; and saying, &#8220;We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night’s group was not peaceful. The crowd failed to obey our lawful orders to move back from the DNC, where Members of Congress were in the building.&#8221;

&#8220;When the group moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed our officers and attempted to pick up the bike rack, our teams quickly introduced consequences – pulling people off the building, pushing them back, and clearing them from the area, so we could safely evacuate the Members and staff,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;Six officers were treated for injuries, from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched.&#8221;

Wednesday evening&#8217;s violent protest — which reportedly involved around 150 pro-Palestinian activists — came just one day after nearly 300,000 gathered on the National Mall to show solidarity with the Jewish people and stand with Israel.

U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) evacuated the area around the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) headquarters in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington-d-c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington, D.C.</a>, on Wednesday night responding to a protest that resulted in multiple arrests and injured officers.
An estimated 200 demonstrators gathered outside of the DNC to protest U.S. support for Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The protest, organized in part by the anti-Israel group If Not Now, called for President Joe Biden to push for a ceasefire between Israel and the terror group.
The protest deteriorated into a riot through the evening. Police warned people away from the area and evacuated bystanders and some top lawmakers away from the DNC after the gathering became violent, according to police.
“We have handled hundreds of peaceful protests, but last night’s group was not peaceful. The crowd failed to obey our lawful orders to move back from the DNC, where Members of Congress were in the building,” USCP said in a <a href="https://www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/uscp-statement-unlawful-demonstration-outside-dnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> Thursday morning.
“When the group moved dumpsters in front of the exits, pepper sprayed our officers and attempted to pick up the bike rack, our teams quickly introduced consequences – pulling people off the building, pushing them back, and clearing them from the area, so we could safely evacuate the Members and staff,” the statement continued.
If Not Now blamed the violence on police, claiming that the gathering was peaceful.
“Police are being extremely violent outside @TheDemocrats headquarters. We are linking arms, threatening no one, and begging our politicians to support an end to the killing and the suffering in Gaza. Begging, peacefully, for a ceasefire,” the group <a href="https://twitter.com/IfNotNowOrg/status/1724953061150302289" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>.
Police said that six officers were hurt in the riot, with injuries ranging from pepper spray to taking punches. At least one person, 24-year-old Ruben Arthur Camacho, was arrested for assaulting a police officer, according to police.
The riot lasted for over an hour. USCP announced that it had <a href="https://twitter.com/CapitolPolice/status/1724988429501395191" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cleared</a> out the area just after 9 p.m. Evacuations during the violent demonstration included some members of Congress who had met at the DNC.

“Was just evacuated from the #DNC after pro-terrorist, anti-#Israel protestors grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. Thankful to the police officers who stopped them and for helping me and my colleagues get out safely,” Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman of California posted to social media.
Others at the DNC included the top three House Democratic lawmakers: Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark, and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/capitol-police-evacuating-dnc-palestine-protest-turned-violent-rcna125459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>.
Democratic Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois was also evacuated from the DNC.

Violent Pro-Palestinian ‘Protest’ Spurs Evacuations At Democrats’ D.C. Headquarters: Police

Violent Pro-Palestinian Protest Spurs Evacuations At Democrats’ D.C. Headquarters: Police

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sees foul play in the primary system set up by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), writing an open letter to the party Wednesday on how it “has gone off track.” 
In the <a href="https://www.kennedy24.com/dncletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a>, Kennedy accused the DNC of breaking party rules by working hand-in-hand with President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. The presidential candidate, who is challenging Biden for the 2024 nomination, asked Chairman Jamie Harrison and members of the DNC to “lead by example” and hold a fair and “accessible” primary election. 
“Unfortunately, in recent years our party leaders have succumbed to the siren of control,” Kennedy wrote. “They have compromised the defining democratic principle of one person, one vote through repeated interference in the primary elections. They have hijacked the party machinery and, in recent years, directed the power of censorship onto their political opponents, raising political victory onto the altar in place of honest democracy.” 
Kennedy then slammed the DNC for setting up a primary election schedule that favors Biden by holding the first primary in South Carolina, where Biden performed well in 2020, and “casting out New Hampshire’s votes,” where the first Democratic primary is traditionally held and where Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/11/us/elections/results-new-hampshire-primary-election.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">finished in fifth place</a> in the 2020 presidential primary. 
The Democrat also said his party is “limiting ballot access in Iowa” and creating a new system of superdelegates after the party <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/democrats-vs-trump/democrats-strip-super-delegates-power-reform-caucuses-historic-move-n903866" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> in 2018 to strip power from superdelegates by preventing them from voting on the first round of ballots at the party convention. The new reforms to the Democratic Party’s nominating process were pushed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former DNC Chairman Tom Perez after Sanders lost the nomination to Hillary Clinton in 2016, largely due to superdelegates backing Clinton.  
Kennedy added that the DNC is reverting to superdelegate control of the primary’s outcome, writing that the DNC is “deploying party operatives to water down the popular vote and ensure a controlled victory.” 
Kennedy’s campaign manager, Dennis Kucinich, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-campaign-accuses-dnc-being-undemocratic-demands-assurances-every-dems-vote-counts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that “it appears that the DNC has created a class of pledged delegates, called Party Leaders and Elected Officials (PLEOs), who are essentially the same as superdelegates, due to the amount of control the party exercises over elected officials.&#8221; 
&#8220;This puts the DNC, once again, in the position of overturning the will of voters across the United States. It is unclear how overturning the nation’s majority vote could be interpreted as trusting the people,&#8221; added Kucinich, a former Democratic Representative from Ohio who ran for president in 2004 and 2008.

In the letter to the DNC, Kennedy also criticized the party for its refusal to hold any debates, even as Kennedy polled above 10% nationally and another Democratic candidate, Marianne Williamson, polled above 5%, according to the Real Clear Politics <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/24_democratic_presidential_nomination-8171.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a>. 
“Equally disheartening is the DNC’s refusal to hold debates,” Kennedy wrote, adding that the DNC’s defense of pointing to “precedent” is “spurious” since “there has been no serious primary challenge to an incumbent in more than 40 years” other than then-sitting-Vice President Al Gore debating primary challengers in 2000. 
“Voters deserve — and democracy requires — a competitive process by which to determine nominees. It should be a party’s voters who choose a candidate, not party insiders who anoint one,” Kennedy added. 
Section 4 of the DNC’s charter dictates that the chairman of the party “shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness as between the Presidential candidates and campaigns,” something the Kennedy campaign <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-jr-campaign-accuses-dnc-being-undemocratic-demands-assurances-every-dems-vote-counts">says</a> the DNC is going against by “closely consulting” with Biden’s campaign manager Julie Chávez-Rodríguez.
“The DNC and the Joe Biden campaign have essentially merged into one unit, financially and strategically, despite the promise of neutrality in its charter and bylaws,” Kennedy said. 
When asked by The Daily Wire if Kennedy would consider running as an independent if the DNC didn’t make some changes following the letter, Kucinich said, “The next move is up to the DNC.” 
“Even though it is well known that the DNC IS the Biden campaign, and the Biden campaign IS the DNC, Mr. Kennedy made an open, conciliatory appeal, in the spirit of healing the divide, and rescuing the party from a colossal blunder,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The next move is up to the DNC/Biden campaign.&#8221;

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> has asked the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-national-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democratic National Committee</a> to give $1.2 million to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/virginia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia</a> Democrats ahead of state elections in the commonwealth and in the face of record fundraising from Republican Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/glenn-youngkin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glenn Youngkin</a>.
The request from Biden comes as a Youngkin political action committee raised $5.9 million by the end of June, a new record for a Virginia governor, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/09/02/biden-fundraising-virginia-democrats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Washington Post. The November elections could prove pivotal as Republicans currently control the state House of Delegates and Democrats control the state Senate.
Dave Rexrode, the head of Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC, responded to the news, saying that it showed the “far left in Virginia is in full panic mode.”
“They are desperate, with no vision for the Commonwealth; only far left Virginia Democrats would look to D.C. and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for help,” he told the Post. “Virginians are with Gov. Youngkin, they support his commonsense agenda that’s providing tax relief, empowering parents, and strengthening public safety.”
Republican pickups in the Senate and House could allow Youngkin to pass more conservative-backed initiatives in a state that had trended blue until Youngkin’s surprise win in 2021.
DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said the money was just part of Biden’s policy to support Democrats throughout the U.S.
“Time and time again, President Biden has made it abundantly clear that he is committed to not just electing Democrats at the top of the ticket, but down the entire ballot, and this investment is further proof,” Harrison said. “We are proud to make these unprecedented investments in Virginia and across the country that will not only help Democrats win in 2023, but will build on and expand the infrastructure we need to reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris next year.”
The money was in part allocated after Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine asked Biden for help in the commonwealth as Youngkin’s popularity remains high.
“The Democratic National Committee’s significant investment in Virginia underscores that the stakes could not be higher this November,” Kaine told the Post. “If Republicans win control of the General Assembly, they’ve pledged to restrict voting rights, pass an abortion ban, and roll back gun safety measures.”

Youngkin’s second quarter fundraising <a href="https://www.wric.com/news/politics/youngkin-raised-more-in-three-months-than-previous-virginia-governors-did-in-a-year/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised eyebrows</a> with Republicans hoping to flip the Senate. Without the Senate, Youngkin’s administration has moved forward with a number of conservative moves at the executive level, including promoting education reforms and increased parental knowledge of what is happening in Virginia schools.
“When Governor Youngkin says he’s focused on Virginia, he means it. The Governor has built and scaled an unprecedented campaign to hold the House and flip the Senate,” Rexrode said.

The Democratic National Committee took some heat on Tuesday for their reported plan to counter the first Republican primary debate with an airplane banner — a move which many critics pointed out was far from carbon-neutral.
According to a <a href="https://www.politico.com/playbook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Politico Playbook, &#8220;The DNC has booked a plane to fly around Milwaukee on Wednesday night dragging a banner reading: &#8216;GOP 2024: A Race for the Extreme MAGA Base.'&#8221;
&#8220;&#8216;The world is literally going to end in five years if you don&#8217;t give up your car, stove, refrigerator, oven, and washing machine.&#8217; &#8216;Okay now we&#8217;re gonna fly this plane in circles around Milwaukee,'&#8221; Greg Price commented via X.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In addition to the plane, the DNC has also reportedly commissioned at least one mobile billboard that will drive around near the debate venue &#8220;highlighting the records of the Republican candidates.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692802184128000&amp;usg=AOvVaw07VPFqZ2fMsTCvAF0-SU1W">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Several stationary billboards have also been secured in the vicinity of Milwaukee&#8217;s Fiserv Forum, with at least one touting President Joe Biden&#8217;s record and two attacking GOP candidates over what the DNC has labeled &#8220;2024 Republicans&#8217; MAGA Agenda.&#8221; Key issues appearing on the billboards will be a potential national ban on abortion and &#8220;tax giveaways for the rich.&#8221;
Biden&#8217;s team has also reportedly prepared a full-court press with regard to media, sending surrogates to multiple outlets including Fox News to defend the president&#8217;s record and attack Republicans.

Kennedy Jr.</a> is seeking to pull off one of the most improbable political upsets in American history, and Democrat Party infighting could give the long-shot candidate a much-needed early boost. 
Controversy over which states will be the first voters in the 2024 Democratic primary is leading to an increasingly likely scenario where the sitting president won’t be on the ballot in the first two primary contests, according to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/06/15/iowa-new-hampshire-biden-lose-2024-primaries-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Axios. If Iowa and New Hampshire Democrats buck the DNC’s proposed changes to the primary schedule and move forward with voting first, President Joe Biden&#8217;s team indicated that the president won&#8217;t put his name on the ballots, seemingly ignoring that Iowa and New Hampshire will even hold a caucus and a primary. The potential shakeup would put RFK Jr. as the leading Democratic candidate and most recognizable name on the two states’ ballots.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dnc-ditches-iowa-chooses-south-carolina-as-first-presidential-primary-state-to-prioritize-black-voters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decided</a> in February to make South Carolina the first primary state after President Biden said he wanted the Palmetto State to vote first. The DNC was motivated by a desire to put “black voters at the front of the process,” upending years of tradition where Iowa and New Hampshire were the first states to vote for the Democrat and Republican presidential nominees. 
“For decades, black voters in particular have been the backbone of the Democratic Party but have been pushed to the back of the early primary process,” Biden wrote in a letter last December. “We rely on these voters in elections but have not recognized their importance in our nominating calendar. It is time to stop taking these voters for granted, and time to give them a louder and earlier voice in the process.”
The move angered Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire. To comply with the DNC’s recommendation, New Hampshire would need to amend state rules, and New Hampshire Democrats openly bashed Biden for bumping them down in the primary schedule. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) called the decision process “flawed,” saying that “top party officials had their own agenda from the start.”
While Iowa Democrats were not as openly upset with Biden and the DNC, Iowa Democratic Chair Rita Hart voiced some frustration with the DNC’s process. Hart said the decision showed that Democrats had stopped caring about rural voters, adding that it demonstrated that Democrats had “turned their back on Iowa and rural America.”
In May, Iowa Democrats <a href="https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/presidential/caucus/2023/05/03/iowa-democrats-plan-to-hold-2024-caucuses-the-same-day-as-republicans/70175240007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they would move forward with holding their caucuses on the same day as Republicans, keeping with tradition. The Iowa Democrats’ proposal to keep the caucus on the same day as Republicans will go to the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, which will review the party’s primary plan on Friday in Minneapolis, Axios reported. The DNC must work through state laws, party rules, and state party proposals before the primary schedule is officially set. 
Currently, the DNC aims to hold the South Carolina primary on February 3, 2024, followed on February 6 by New Hampshire and Nevada, Georgia on February 13, and Michigan on February 27.

RFK Jr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-not-even-going-to-compete-in-iowa-and-new-hampshire-rfk-jr-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predicted</a> last week that Biden wouldn’t “even put his name in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
“I think that he did not want to compete in New Hampshire and he wants to go to a state where they … can control the results more,” Kennedy told radio host Michael Smerconish. 
Some Democrats have floated a write-in campaign for Biden in Iowa and New Hampshire if he isn’t on the ballot, but even if the president loses those states, some embarrassment and bad press would be the most Biden would suffer, according to Jim Messina, Barack Obama&#8217;s 2012 campaign manager. 
“Even if a candidate is going to win the first mythical first states of Iowa and New Hampshire, it’s not going to matter,&#8221; Messina said. 
The Democratic Party’s political machine and superdelegates heavily favor party insiders, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) discovered in his 2016 primary loss to Hillary Clinton. Kennedy, while being a thorn in Biden’s side, stands little chance of threatening the president’s chances at the nomination in any way. Biden consistently polls over 60% compared to RFK Jr.’s <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/24_democratic_presidential_nomination-8171.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Clear Politics</a> average of 16% and self-help author Marianne Williamson sitting around 7%.
