The Democratic National Convention’s rules committee has agreed to select the party’s presidential nominee via virtual roll call vote. Initially, this plan was hatched to get Biden confirmed ahead of the August 19-22 convention. The party said it was to avoid a filing deadline, though critics said it was to thwart attempts to coerce Biden […]

On Wednesday, July 24, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution to “strongly condemn” the vice president for her performance as Joe Biden’s so-called border czar. Now, with the two articles of impeachment against her, Kamala Harris is building quite the collection of “strongly worded letters” from the House GOP. In today’s divisive political […]

More high-profile Democrats are calling for Joe Biden to step down – and, while reports seem to conflict, he might well be considering it.

Many Democrats have called for Joe Biden to end his campaign for re-election and step aside. The president, however, assures America he won’t be pushed out and that he’ll beat Donald Trump once again. One of those assertions seems certain – the other, however, is rather dubious.

After Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance on Thursday, June 27, even many Democrats have called for the president to withdraw from the White House race.
