Former President Joe Biden <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/2077350082702123105?s=20">teased</a> his long-awaited memoir on Wednesday, now set to hit shelves after the midterm elections. The delayed release comes after Democrats raised concerns that publishing the book before Election Day could hurt the party at the ballot box.
“Promise Me, America” is scheduled for release on Nov. 17. Biden, who has fallen out of favor with many Democrats after Trump’s triumphant return to the White House, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-has-a-midterm-surprise-in-store-for-democrats">previously suggested</a> the book would be released before the November election. 
<a href="https://promisemeamerica.com/">A website</a> promoting the tell-all promises a “candid and revealing” account of the “deeply agonizing calculation” behind Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 presidential race. 
“Since I left the presidency, I&#8217;ve had a lot of people ask me, ‘Joe, what have you been doing?’” Biden said in the announcement while sitting in a chair. “I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I&#8217;m dealing with a cancer diagnosis, and I&#8217;ve been getting treatment. It&#8217;s been going really well.”
In the two-minute trailer, the former president said the memoir will chronicle the highs and lows of his presidency, which included decades-high inflation, record illegal border crossings, and new wars erupting in Europe and the Middle East.
“It&#8217;s about the challenges we faced as a nation, about the decisions I made, and why I made them. Leading the country through COVID, rebuilding our economy, and restoring our democracy after the attack on January 6th, ending our nation&#8217;s longest-running war in Afghanistan, strengthening NATO, and supporting Ukraine.” 
Conservative critics quickly mocked the book on social media, with some questioning whether Biden, 83, actually wrote it himself.
“I can’t believe the autopen wrote a whole book,” <a href="https://x.com/benshapiro/status/2077385062341812381?s=20">said</a> Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire Editor Emeritus, a sentiment echoed by reality TV star Spencer Pratt.
&#8220;This guy couldn&#8217;t even sign his own name. He&#8217;s not writing books. LMAO,&#8221; Pratt <a href="https://x.com/spencerpratt/status/2077374853976391779?s=20">said</a>. &#8220;Politicians write books to launder money. Nobody wants to read this, but the corrupt NGOs he provided for as President will buy up 100K copies and burn &#8217;em to hold up their end of the bribes.
In June, Biden teased that the book was set for a September release date, a move that would’ve injected the former president into the political spotlight.
Despite the delay, Biden’s memoir is expected to arrive not long after former first lady Jill Biden’s book, which included revelations that angered parts of the Democratic establishment. In recent interviews promoting her memoir, Jill Biden said she was frightened by her husband’s June 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump, recalling that she feared he may have been experiencing a medical emergency.
“I was frightened,” Jill Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/when-was-jill-lying-how-she-went-from-hes-fine-to-i-thought-he-was-having-a-stroke?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=When+Was+Jill+Lying%3F+How+She+Went+From+%E2%80%98He%E2%80%99s+Fine%E2%80%99+To+%E2%80%98I+Thought+He+Was+Having+A+Stroke.%E2%80%99">said</a> of the debate. “I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never. I don’t know what happened. As I watched it, I said, ‘Oh my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”
Those comments came more than a year after Biden disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, a diagnosis that fueled renewed scrutiny over his health and questions about the transparency surrounding his condition while in office.
“The biggest lesson for us, I think, was that if you don’t explain something well enough, then the question won’t go away,” Jill Biden <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-memoir-promise-me-america-fc71dd2c1da239995f606b968c7eaac4">wrote</a> in her memoir. “There was never a satisfying enough explanation offered for Joe’s debate performance, and a lot of people never got over it.”

It looks like we finally found something we can all agree on. Mitch McConnell’s time in politics has come to a close. Tragically, he is not fit to serve out the remainder of his term.
I’m not going to play the fool’s game of “but he’s only x years older than this or that competent politician.” Henry Kissinger and Thomas Sowell remained sharp well into their 90s. Most people do not. You don’t judge a person’s mental competency solely based on how many years they’ve been alive. You judge based on what you can see.
Everyone seems to understand that the empirical evidence reflects McConnell’s profound mental and physical decline.
But I wonder, where was all this agreement four years ago when Joe Biden, a veritable corpse, was running the entire country?
Behind closed doors, the president was reciting Shakespeare while juggling with his eyebrows. It was only when all the cameras showed up that he turned into a gaffe machine who couldn’t read a teleprompter. That&#8217;s a mean case of stage fright for a politician who&#8217;s been in the game for 53 years.
And, of course, our skeptical media bought that, no questions asked.
Alex Thompson, a White House correspondent for Politico during the Biden administration, recently co-authored a <a href="https://sites.prh.com/originalsin/">book</a> detailing the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline. Conveniently, this book comes long after the decline was obvious, and Biden is no longer running for office.
Thompson has <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2025-05-20/jake-tapper-defends-original-sin-biden-cover-up-media-role">insisted</a> that the media was simply “lied to” about the president&#8217;s mental state. News flash: if I can see the decline on my television, it shouldn’t take you five years to figure it out when it’s quite literally your entire job to track his affairs.
What kind of media waits for the White House&#8217;s permission before holding it accountable? But don&#8217;t worry, they’re here now to bravely stand for the truth. As usual, they&#8217;re a day late and a dollar short.
And then there was a cadre of Biden&#8217;s fellow Democrats. In a debate with Ron DeSantis, California Governor Gavin Newsom (one of the top Democratic contenders for president in 2028) insisted that the president was perfectly sharp and on top of everything.
Would — or should — an aspiring president take at face value that “behind closed doors,” Chinese President Xi Jinping has no plans to invade Taiwan, he’s simply looking to grab a beer with Lai Ching-te? And if not, which means he was lying, why should the American people place their trust in a man who lies through his teeth about something as consequential as the mental state of their own president?
So which is it? Is he too foolish to be president or too dishonest? Of course, nobody is asking this question. It’s much more interesting to keep beating the dead horse that is McConnell’s competency.
This is not a matter of respect for the statesman that Joe Biden used to be. The squirrely nature of that characterization aside, respect does not demand dishonesty.
Mitch McConnell was perhaps the most effective legislator of my lifetime. He played an instrumental role in seating a Republican majority on the court. He forced significant concessions from the Democratic majority during the Obama administration (including dropping the socialized insurance option) and blocked progressive climate legislation.
He guided the clown show that is the congressional Republicans into confirming three conservative Supreme Court Justices and 54 appeals court justices in a single presidential term, orchestrated the passage of 2017 tax reform, and spearheaded one of the only unanimous consequential legislative packages in modern history.
His legacy is unmatched.
Such is my tribute to his tremendous influence and my respect for the great man. But he&#8217;s too old to be in office. To pretend otherwise would not be an act of respect towards him, but an act of disrespect towards his constituency.
When I last saw Senator McConnell, he required the assistance of several men simply to move in and out of the chamber. He never spoke a word despite being addressed directly by several other Senators. This was shortly before his recent hospitalization.
But McConnell is taking hits left and right from the media. And therein lies the distinction: left and right. The conservative press never tried to run interference for the man, and they certainly never tried to invalidate legitimate depictions of his decline.
In 2023, MS NOW published an <a href="https://www.ms.now/opinion/msnbc-opinion/mitch-mcconnell-second-freeze-kentucky-rcna102599">op-ed</a> insisting that McConnell was unfit to serve and that he step down immediately. They were <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/08/mitch-mcconnell-needs-to-step-aside">joined in their concerns</a> by the National Review, one of the most prominent outlets on the American right, which called for McConnell to step down from leadership positions. 
Only when Biden decided to shoot himself in the foot on live television in front of the entire country did it start to become apparent that he was a lost cause, and the media started to turn on him. After years of lying to the American people, it was no longer taboo for Thompson to publish his book.
As members of the press, our first responsibility is to the American public. A press that shirks that responsibility for political gain disgraces the very people it’s meant to serve.

Former President Joe Biden spoke at the Maryland Democratic Party&#8217;s Fight Back and Win Summit in Baltimore — and after shouting and mumbling through his remarks, he appeared to have some difficulty finding his way off the stage.
Biden&#8217;s typical speech patterns have not changed much since he left the White House in early 2025, as he alternately addressed the crowd calmly and raised his voice to a shout, at seemingly random intervals.

&#8220;I should use nice, straightforward and simple,&#8221; Biden said, his tone even, before he pivoted to shout, &#8220;It&#8217;s time to get up, dammit! Get up! Get up now! And continue this fight. So let&#8217;s get up and fight back, God &#8230; darn it!&#8221;
Throughout the speech the former president took credit for the economy and accused Trump of taking on &#8220;vanity projects&#8221; that would only benefit him.
&#8220;Have you noticed that Americans are saying the economy under the Biden administration is a hell of a lot better than under Trump?” Biden asked. &#8220;It’s not just his vanity projects – tearing down the East Wing of the White House making room for his ballroom. Putting his name on the Kennedy Center. Building an arch in his own honor. Even hiring his own pool guy to fix the reflecting pool. Woah – what a loser.&#8221;
Biden mumbled through some more of his comments, and then turned to exit the stage. Pointing his finger to the left and then to the right, Biden appeared confused as to which direction he was supposed to go to exit the stage. After a momentary pause, he turned his back on the audience and walked away from the lectern.
Biden had similar difficulty at the recent grand opening of former President Barack Obama&#8217;s library and presidential center in Chicago, briefly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-joe-biden-gets-lost-onstage-at-obama-library-opening">scanning the crowd</a> before asking where his granddaughter was sitting and then wandering off the stage.

Former President Joe Biden appeared to linger on stage, uncertain of what he should do next, at the opening ceremony of former President Barack Obama&#8217;s new library and center in Chicago.
As the dedication ceremony wrapped up on Thursday in Chicago, Biden was seen drifting back toward the stage while former President Barack Obama and former first lady Jill Biden exited. <a href="https://player.mux.com/UDfG01RRXLMkgsPk3f7qJOx7RBVsuZLM4?metadata-video-content-type=embed_video&amp;metadata-video-id=e0daecf5-4b40-4a18-ad94-160000ffd6fa&amp;metadata-video-stream-type=on-demand&amp;metadata-video-title=2026-06-19%20What%20Was%20Going%20Through%20Biden%27s%20Mind%20Here%3F&amp;poster=https%3A%2F%2Fdailywireplus-v2.imgix.net%2Fimages%2Fembedded-videos%2F599c7c87-5c60-444b-8435-bacad259c070.png&amp;autoplay=false&amp;accent-color=%23DB3D3B&amp;primary-color=%23ffffff&amp;secondary-color=%23000000">Video</a> showed Biden lowering his sunglasses, looking into the crowd and asking, “Where’s my granddaughter?” A person familiar with the situation told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/watch-would-second-term-president-biden-left-searching-family-stage-obama-center-opening">Fox News</a> that Biden was looking for his granddaughter, who was seated in the audience.

But after Biden’s disastrous final year in office, his frequent verbal stumbles and apparent confusion can no longer be viewed in isolation. The increasing number and frequency of such stumbles — both cognitive and physical — caused many to question over whether he was even capable of serving another term.
While the Obama Center incident alone was not unique, it reflected the kind of public episode that had dogged Biden throughout the final stretch of his presidency and later became central to the debate over his eventually-abandoned re-election campaign.
Those concerns, in spite of the administrations claims to the contrary, were not based only on viral videos or partisan commentary. A 2024 Daily Wire analysis of official White House transcript corrections found that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-speaking-errors-doubled-in-last-year-analysis-of-official-transcript-corrections-finds">Biden’s speaking errors doubled</a> in the 12 months leading up to his June 27 debate against Donald Trump. The analysis reviewed nearly 400 official “speeches and remarks” transcripts, where White House staff and stenographers crossed out incorrect words or inserted corrected language in brackets.
According to the analysis, the White House corrected 33 Biden errors in June 2023, a rate of 3.2 errors per 10,000 words. By May 2024, staff made 51 corrections, producing a rate of 7.2 errors per 10,000 words after Biden spoke roughly 70,000 words that month. The outlet noted that Biden spoke only about half his usual number of words in official remarks in June before the debate brought new scrutiny to his public performance.
The corrections included misstated numbers, names, dates, and factual references. Biden mixed up billions and millions, debt and deficit, and even basic dates. In one widely circulated example after the debate, Biden attempted to reassure supporters that he would remain in the race and defeat Trump, saying, “I will beat him again in 2020.”
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ramblin-man-bidens-tendency-to-ramble-is-twice-as-bad-as-when-he-was-vp-analysis-finds">second Daily Wire analysis</a> found that Biden’s tendency to stop mid-sentence, restart, correct himself, or drift into tangents appeared twice as frequently as it had when he was vice president. That analysis reviewed thousands of official transcripts across 11 years and found that Biden’s fragmented speaking patterns increased sharply between the end of his vice presidency in 2017 and the beginning of his presidency in 2021, then only became more pronounced during his term.
Concerns about his mental acuity became more difficult to separate from Biden’s public image after his June 2024 debate against Trump, which intensified scrutiny of both his age and public performance. Less than a month later, Biden ended his re-election campaign.
The Chicago video was a brief episode at the end of a public ceremony. But it follows the same pattern that made Biden’s public appearances a political liability during the 2024 campaign, as his verbal missteps and moments of confusion became harder to ignore.

Hillary Clinton blasted former President Joe Biden for pursuing a second term, describing the campaign as a “terrible mistake.”
In a recent <a href="https://x.com/theblaze/status/2066969486582747560?s=20">interview</a> with New Yorker editor David Remnick, the failed 2016 presidential candidate expressed regret for throwing her support behind Biden, arguing that a competitive Democratic primary during the 2024 cycle would’ve ended the Trump era. 
&#8220;We would have had a real contest,&#8221; Clinton said. &#8220;He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.&#8221;
&#8220;And very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.&#8221;

The remarks undercut Clinton’s messaging during the 2024 campaign. She supported Biden until he exited the race, then quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her 11th-hour challenge against President Trump.
“I&#8217;ve known Kamala Harris a long time. This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda to take away our freedoms,” Clinton <a href="https://x.com/HillaryClinton/status/1815372593483911184?s=20">said</a> in a July 22, 2024, social media post. “But she can&#8217;t do it alone. Become a part of this historic campaign today.” 
Clinton is the latest Democrat to muster the courage to throw Biden under the bus for their party&#8217;s election wipeout.
In May, Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-finally-admit-what-went-wrong-in-2024?author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=64&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Dems+Sat+On+Their+2024+Autopsy+For+A+Year.+Now+We+Know+Why.">finally released</a> their long-awaited 2024 election autopsy. Buried inside the 192-page report were some brutal admissions about Kamala Harris, the Democratic brand, and the party’s growing disconnect from average Americans.
“The sad truth is Democrats have lost ground at every level from inconsistent messaging and improper planning, even as the policies the Party advances continue to earn voter support at the ballot box,” <a href="https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/May-20-2026.pdf">the report said</a>.
The document repeatedly suggests Democrats leaned way too heavily on “Trump bad” messaging while failing to give voters a compelling reason to vote for Harris. One especially rough section says Harris struggled to define herself beyond “not Trump” and “prosecutor vs. felon,” putting blame on the Biden White House.
Notably, the autopsy made no mention of former President Joe Biden’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-in-meltdown-mode-over-dumpster-fire-dnc-autopsy?author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=63&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Dems+In+Meltdown+Mode+Over+%E2%80%98Dumpster+Fire%E2%80%99+DNC+Autopsy">advanced age</a> or the lingering distrust voters felt following his disastrous debate performance.
“We either adapt to the changing conditions of the arena, or history will leave us behind,” the report stated.

Kate Bedingfield said that prominent Democrats refusing to disavow Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner — over several scandals and allegations — amounted to an &#8220;indictment&#8221; of the party.
Bedingfield, who served as communications director for former President Joe Biden, addressed the issue on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Arena,&#8221; telling host Kasie Hunt that she believed at least part of the problem could be chalked up to sexism.

&#8220;I personally — I think it’s demoralizing that his transgressions are being overlooked,&#8221; Bedingfield said. &#8220;However, I&#8217;m not overly stunned in part because I think that the gender breakdown on how people are reacting to what they&#8217;ve read about him is very telling.&#8221;
She pivoted quickly to point out why that disparity could cause political problems for Platner in Maine — namely the fact that the electorate there skews toward women and older voters — and argued that he would have to win over some of the split-ticket voters who had chosen Biden and incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in 2020.
&#8220;He&#8217;s got to pull some Biden-Collins voters from 2020 over his way, and Donald Trump continuing to attack him is one way that some of those people, you know, may come along,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So, you know, listen, I personally don&#8217;t love it, but the people of Maine, you know, I don&#8217;t live there so they probably don&#8217;t really — they don&#8217;t really care what I think.&#8221;
&#8220;But I think it&#8217;s — I&#8217;m going to just say it and I have said it consistently, I think it’s an indictment of our party that we’re willing to look the other way on this, personally,” Bedingfield concluded.
Bedingfield&#8217;s assessment aligns almost perfectly with that of Senator John Fetterman (D-PA), who has also been very critical of Platner throughout the campaign. When Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Fetterman directly whether he would campaign against Platner and for Collins — who by record and by most accounts is a moderate — he drew a <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/2065577500294713769">hard line</a> and reminded her that at the end of the day, he is a Democrat.
President Donald Trump officially endorsed Collins in the Maine Senate race several days earlier despite conceding that the two are definitely not &#8220;best friends.&#8221;

Thus United States joined with Venezuela in a joint strike targeting Tren de Aragua leader Niño Guerrero, marking a new era of cooperation in the wake of former dictator Nicolàs Maduro&#8217;s arrest.
Trump shared details of the strike late on Friday evening — along with footage — touting the cooperation with Venezuela and saying that he was making good on his promise to eradicate the gangs no matter where they chose to hide.

&#8220;At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth,&#8221; Trump posted, and then quickly pivoted to blame Biden.
&#8220;Before I returned to office, Joe Biden opened our Southern Border to millions of Illegal Criminals, and allowed this foreign army to rape, maim, and murder American Citizens with total impunity,&#8221; he said. &#8220;During my Campaign, I pledged to expel these monsters from our Country, and bring Justice to the families of those they slaughtered, including the precious 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, 22-year-old Laken Reilly, and countless other beautiful souls.&#8221;
&#8220;With this action, the United States Military has brought retribution for them, their families, and their loved ones,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Early in my Administration, I delivered on my promise to designate Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, deport thousands of evil criminals, and wage war against the Cartels, who have long been waging war against our Citizens, while weak leaders left America helpless and defensive.&#8221;
Trump concluded his post by touting the cooperation between the United States and Venezuela, saying that because the two nations were working together, there was no safe place for such violent gang members to hide: &#8220;This action was coordinated closely with our friends in Venezuela, with whom we are working very well. As a result, Tren de Aragua terrorists no longer have safe haven in Venezuela or anywhere else and, under my leadership, we will find these vicious murderers and drugs lords anytime, anyplace, and send them to the depths of hell where they belong. GOD BLESS AMERICA!&#8221;
General Francis L. Donovan, head of U.S. Southern Command, also praised the joint operation with Venezuela: &#8220;We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization’s leader &#8230; Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States.&#8221;
War Secretary Pete Hegseth describe the operation as proof that the United States and Venezuela were committed to taking the fight to those who would participate in narco-terrorism and &#8220;deny them any safe haven.&#8221;
&#8220;TdA founder &amp; leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, aka &#8216;Niño Guerrero,&#8217; was confirmed killed during the strike. The operation underscores the shared U.S. and Venezuelan commitment to take the fight to narco-terrorists and deny them any safe haven in our hemisphere. We will continue to work closely with security partners, like Venezuela — and counties in the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C) partners — to take the fight to our enemies,&#8221; Hegseth posted.

Tren De Aragua

The United States successfully eradicated the New World Screwworm in the late 1960s, but Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says that former President Joe Biden&#8217;s open borders helped clear the way for its return.
Rollins laid out the case during a recent hearing, following news that the parasitic fly — which, in its larval (maggot) stage, enters livestock, pets, and even humans through open wounds and then feeds on living tissue — had breached the United States border for the first time in 50 years.
<div style="max-width: 728px; margin: 0 auto;"> WATCH:<iframe style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; max-width: 100%; width: 100%; margin: 20px auto 5px; border: 0;" src="https://player.mux.com/k0201j2J02V88jDewmIFCm5xNHFs183HSky?metadata-video-content-type=embed_video&amp;metadata-video-id=62d4e29c-feb6-446e-9294-30e21db3b966&amp;metadata-video-stream-type=on-demand&amp;metadata-video-title=America%20wiped%20out%20nightmare%20pest%20in%201966.%20Biden's%20border%20cri&amp;poster=https%3A%2F%2Fdailywireplus-v2.imgix.net%2Fimages%2Fembedded-videos%2Fb7d007b6-59a8-4094-a72c-43843b26d0a8.jpg&amp;autoplay=false&amp;accent-color=%23DB3D3B&amp;primary-color=%23ffffff&amp;secondary-color=%23000000" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
&#8220;Beginning in 2022 when the Darien Gap was breached, into 2023 when the screwworm began moving at a rapid pace up through Central America, and hitting Mexico in 2024 under the last administration,&#8221; Rollins described the timeline around the parasite&#8217;s migration, linking it to the mass migration of people who flooded the United States border during Biden&#8217;s administration due to his lax border policies.
&#8220;We know this development is a serious threat, but it did not catch us off guard,&#8221; Rollins added. &#8220;We&#8217;ve established a 20-kilometer movement zone, expedited targeted release of sterile flies in the affected area, we&#8217;ve increased the trapping for flies along the border, and are ramping up surveillance.&#8221;
Rollins <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-declares-war-on-screwworm-to-contain-flesh-eating-parasite">shared several details</a> about efforts already underway to stop the spread of the deadly parasite in an earlier X post, effectively stating that the Trump administration was declaring war on the invasive pest.
&#8220;We have been in full combat mode against this invasive threat since Day One,&#8221; she posted, adding, &#8220;This administration is working hand-in-hand with our Texas partners delivering an unprecedented response: hitting harder, faster, and smarter than ever before. Thanks to our proactive preparation and rapid response, American agriculture will not be disrupted. We will eradicate this threat.&#8221;
The first official case of the screwworm in the United States came last week when a young calf in Texas tested positive for the parasite.

Screwworm

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has brought in a veteran crisis communicator to handle public scrutiny over his ties to disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and any future dealings with the Senate Ethics Committee.
The communicator in question is Andrew Bates, who most recently handled crisis communications for former President Joe Biden as he weathered the final days of his ill-fated 2024 re-election campaign and the end of his term in the White House.
According to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/06/09/democrats-ruben-gallego-eric-swalwell-biden-andrew-bates?utm_campaign=mrf-utm_campaign=editorial&amp;utm_source=x&amp;utm_medium=owned_social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;mrfcid=202606096a1d03c13e6f3e29b07150c1">report</a> published Tuesday by Axios, some in Gallego&#8217;s camp feel they&#8217;re being sidelined to make room for the Biden alum.
&#8220;Senator Gallego has been clear that he plans to help Democrats take the majority in 2026 and is weighing all options for his political future. He has brought on Andrew to help navigate those processes,&#8221; a spokesperson for Gallego told the outlet.
What Gallego&#8217;s team did not say was that the senator has been under increased scrutiny since several women came forward with accusations of sexual misconduct and even rape against Swalwell. Gallego has repeatedly claimed that he had no knowledge of Swalwell&#8217;s alleged behavior — despite the fact that the former California congressman was a longtime close friend and former roommate.
An experienced crisis communicator may be necessary if Gallego is to survive the fallout — and Bates&#8217; work for the Biden White House certainly speaks to that.
When even the Democratic leaders in Congress — Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), among others — were approaching the White House and calling for Biden to bow out of the 2024 race, Bates was telling reporters that it wasn&#8217;t going to happen.
&#8220;The president told both leaders he is the nominee of the party, he plans to win and looks forward to working with both of them to pass his 100-days agenda to help working families,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/18/us/politics/biden-election-drop-out.html">Bates said</a>, just a few days before Biden announced that he would not continue his presidential re-election campaign.
On July 18, Bates posted an ABC News article citing an unnamed White House official who declared Biden&#8217;s plan to remain in the race.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
“Flatly denied reports that the president is now more open to the idea of ending his campaign.
‘Anyone who has talked to Joe Biden in the last 24 hours can tell you that is not true,’ [said] the senior White House official, who has spoken to Biden today”<a href="https://t.co/oCbBCvfciW">https://t.co/oCbBCvfciW</a>

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Keep the faith,&#8221; Bates posted on July 20 — along with an article about Biden&#8217;s plans to hit the campaign trail in the coming days.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Just over 24 hours later, Biden would exit the race.
And by late February of 2025, Bates — who had defended Biden to the final hours of both his campaign and his presidency — was on MS NOW claiming that President Donald Trump might not have the &#8220;energy&#8221; to do the job well.

Swalwell's BFF Brings Back Infamous Biden Lackey To Manage Crisis Response

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said on Thursday that the American people were sending a very clear message to former President Joe Biden and his family: &#8220;Go away.&#8221;
Enten discussed the Bidens and their apparent waning popularity even as former first lady Jill Biden continues to do press for her new memoir, &#8220;View From The East Wing&#8221; — and as Joe Biden is expected to release a memoir later in the year.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Americans have one message for the Bidens: Go away.
Joe Biden left office tremendously unpopular &amp; remains so (-19 pt net favorable).
He&#8217;s by far the least popular of any former Dem prez at this point after their presidency.

<script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Anchor John Berman asked Enten how the Bidens were doing in terms of popularity following Jill Biden&#8217;s book release, and the short answer was clear: not well.
&#8220;The American people have one message for the Bidens that is: go away!” Enten said, repeating, “Go away!”
&#8220;I mean, just look at this. Look at Biden&#8217;s net favorable rating in January of 2025; it was -22 points. Has it gone any better? No, not really,&#8221; Enten continued. &#8220;He’s still way underwater here at -19 points. He’s 28 points underwater with independents. Joe Biden ended his term as president as quite unpopular. And he remains quite unpopular.”
Enten went on to reveal why even some Democrats who might personally like the former president would still prefer that he remained out of the public eye: &#8220;He is an anchor to the Democratic Party and potentially their fortunes in the 2026 midterm elections.&#8221;
Berman asked how Biden compared to other former presidents — particularly Democrats — and the news did not get any better: former Presidents Barack Obama (+31), Bill Clinton (-3), and Jimmy Carter (+22) all fared much better than Biden.
The former first lady was in the same proverbial boat as her husband, Enten added.
&#8220;Jill Biden – obviously not Joe Biden, though they are married – okay, just look at this. Was she a popular first lady? Dem first lady’s net favorability at the end of their final term? She was just two points above water. Obviously, not as bad as Joe Biden, but Michelle Obama was 43 points above water. Hillary Clinton was 13 points above water,&#8221; he said.

CNN Admits It: America Wants The Bidens To Just 'Go Away'

Jill Biden

Former President Joe Biden announced Tuesday that he will release a new book in September, injecting himself back into the political spotlight months before the midterm election cycle enters its final stretch.
The announcement came during an unusual and at times awkward appearance at a New York event promoting former first lady Jill Biden&#8217;s memoir, &#8220;A View from the East Wing.&#8221; As Jill Biden wrapped up a discussion with moderator Whoopi Goldberg, the former president unexpectedly left his seat in the audience and approached the stage, prompting laughter and confusion from attendees.
&#8220;I have a question,&#8221; Biden said, interrupting the event.
&#8220;Joe has a question? Like you couldn&#8217;t ask it later?&#8221; Jill Biden responded.
The former president then asked his wife, &#8220;Who do you love most in the whole world?&#8221;
&#8220;Whoopi,&#8221; she answered jokingly, drawing laughter from the crowd. Biden remained standing as Goldberg attempted to continue the event, prompting Jill Biden to eventually relent.
&#8220;I love you most, Joe. Was that it? Was that the answer he wanted?&#8221; she said.
The exchange culminated with Biden using the moment to reveal his own upcoming book.
&#8220;My book, which comes out in September, read it,&#8221; Biden told attendees after briefly commandeering the event.
The announcement places Biden back in the national political conversation at a time when Democrats continue grappling with the fallout from his turbulent final years in office and lingering questions surrounding his decision to seek re-election in 2024 despite concerns about his age and health.
The former president has largely remained out of public view since leaving office, though recent appearances have reignited debate over his health and his administration&#8217;s handling of concerns about his fitness for office. Those questions resurfaced Tuesday as clips of Biden&#8217;s surprise appearance quickly spread online.
At the same time, Jill Biden&#8217;s memoir tour has generated fresh scrutiny of the former president&#8217;s decline during the closing months of his presidency. In recent interviews promoting her book, the former first lady has described being frightened by Biden&#8217;s disastrous June 2024 debate performance against President Donald Trump, saying she feared at the time that he was suffering a medical emergency.
&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t horrified, I was frightened,&#8221; Jill Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/when-was-jill-lying-how-she-went-from-hes-fine-to-i-thought-he-was-having-a-stroke?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=When+Was+Jill+Lying%3F+How+She+Went+From+%E2%80%98He%E2%80%99s+Fine%E2%80%99+To+%E2%80%98I+Thought+He+Was+Having+A+Stroke.%E2%80%99">said</a> of the debate. &#8220;I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. I don&#8217;t know what happened. As I watched it, I said, &#8216;Oh my God, he&#8217;s having a stroke.&#8217; It scared me to death.&#8221;
Those comments come more than a year after Biden disclosed that he had been diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, a diagnosis that fueled renewed scrutiny over his health and questions about the transparency surrounding his condition while in office.
Details about Biden&#8217;s forthcoming book have not yet been released, but its September publication date ensures the former president will reenter the public arena as both parties prepare for a closely watched midterm election season.

Joe Biden Reveals Midterm September Surprise For Democrats

Hunter Biden, the embattled son of former President Joe Biden, finally weighed in on the cocaine that was discovered in the White House while his father was president.
Biden posted a video on Monday announcing that he had officially been sober for seven years, prompting a slew of responses on X. Some congratulated him for reaching the milestone, while others questioned whether he was telling the truth.
&#8220;Bullsh*t. That was your bag of coke in the White House,&#8221; one said.
&#8220;It most definitely was not. I would never have forgotten my drugs,&#8221; Biden replied.
But it didn&#8217;t end there.

Biden shared a second video on Tuesday about gratitude, saying that true gratitude could only be reached when people were able to be grateful for the bad along with the good — and then went on to explain that he was grateful for his past struggles with addiction because they&#8217;d laid him bare (literally) and made him better able to &#8220;connect&#8221; with people.
&#8220;I&#8217;m grateful that I was a crack addict,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t say that with the slightest bit of irony or bullsh*t. It has given me to me right here.&#8221;
He went on to say that he was able to reach this kind of gratitude because his addiction had resulted in everything being &#8220;taken away&#8221; from him.
&#8220;All that addiction took away from me, and then all that the consequences took away from me, any sense of me being better than anyone &#8230; I get to approach you and you get to see all of me,&#8221; he added, poking fun at himself and the nude photos that went public with the discovery of his abandoned laptop.
&#8220;You get to see the nude pictures, you get to see me in grief, you get to see me at my worst,&#8221; he said.
One person responded to the video on X with the comment, &#8220;Crack head. I’m sure it was your coke in the White House. Embarrassment you are. You belong behind bars. Loser.&#8221;
Biden fired back, saying, &#8220;I was most definitely a crack head. It most definitely was not mine. You can’t embarrass me anymore. And you have a nice day, my friend.&#8221;

Less than a gram of cocaine was found in a heavily trafficked area of the White House near the West Wing. It was discovered in July of 2023, and no suspect was ever publicly named.
