Not a toss-up: Polling guru Nate Silver gives Trump 66% chance of winning 2024 race

By Valerie Richardson | The Washington Times Election prognosticator Nate Silver is no fan of Donald Trump, but he predicts that the former president will win the November election against President Biden, and what’s more, it won’t be particularly close. In his first 2024 presidential election model, the political-statistics guru gave the presumptive Republican nominee a 65.7% chance of winning the Electoral College vote versus 33.7% for the Democrat Biden. “The model gives Trump a 66 percent chance of winning the Electoral College, and Biden a 34 percent chance,” Mr. Silver said Thursday on the Silver Bulletin, his Substack account.

Kittle: Which Joe Biden will show up to debate Trump?

By M.D. KITTLE | The Federalist It’s debate day. Insanely early (the contestants have yet to be nominated), but debate day nonetheless.  It’s Rocky versus Apollo. The rematch. Or more like Rocky versus Mickey — if Rocky’s elderly trainer had been reduced to a senile stooge in the throes of dementia, better suited for an assisted living facility than the boxing ring. But we’ve been told ad nauseam by President Joe Biden’s handlers and his corporate media public-relations firm that the Democrat is ready for the rhetorical fight with a bare-knuckle brawler. After all, young Joe Biden once went toe to toe with a Delaware gang leader. Corn Pop was a “bad dude,” Biden told us. A bad dude with a blade. But he backed down upon seeing Joe armed with ...

Trump, Biden prepare lines of attack heading into presidential debate

By Casey Harper | The Center Square Former president Donald Trump has taken several shots at his opponent, President Joe Biden, heading into Thursday night’s first presidential debate, and Biden is returning fire. Both Trump and Biden are the presumed nominees of their respective parties this time around, a rematch of the 2020 election where Biden unseated incumbent Trump. This time, Trump is seeking to do the same to Biden, and he isn’t expected to hold back. Trump has repeatedly mocked Biden for his verbal flubs and moments of appearing lost and confused on stage. Biden has responded, with him and his team mocking Trump for his legal woes. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE CENTER SQUARE

Vespa: It’s Trump’s debate to lose

By Matt Vespa | TownHall.com No wonder why the Biden team departed so early to Camp David for debate preparation. The White House summoned all the top Democratic strategists and advisers to ready the president as best they could against former President Donald Trump. Before they could review any of their attack lines or soundbites touting this administration's little legislative record, they need to ensure Biden can stand for at least 90 minutes. That’s not a good thing for a president we’ve been told is vivacious, a night owl, and sharp as a tack:  Some in the media have already tried to make the point that these debates are unfair to Biden. I’m not kidding; MSNBC played the ‘obstacles so high’ card to defend the president of the United States. It’s unfair for the president to debat...

Trump: ‘I happen to think he’s incompetent’ but warns against underestimating Biden in debate

By Julianna Frieman | The Daily Caller Presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called President Joe Biden a “worth(y) debater” Thursday on “The All-In Podcast.” Trump and Biden are set to face off in the first 2024 presidential debate hosted by CNN on June 27. Trump told podcast hosts Jason Calacanis, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks and David Friedberg why he does not want to “underestimate” Biden during the 90-minute showdown. “All I can say is this. I watched him with Paul Ryan, and he destroyed Paul Ryan. Paul Ryan with the water. He was chugging water outta left and right. I didn’t think a human being would be able to drink so much water at one time. And he beat Paul Ryan,” Trump commented. “So, I’m not underestimating him. It is what it is. U...

RFK Jr. misses CNN debate deadline, leaving Biden and Trump in head-to-head contest

By DAVID ZIMMERMANN | National Review Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. failed to qualify for next week’s CNN debate by the network’s Thursday deadline, missing the opportunity to stand alongside former president Donald Trump and President Joe Biden on stage. Kennedy did not meet CNN’s polling and ballot-access requirements for the June 27 debate. The presidential longshot needed to earn at least 15 percent support in four nationwide polls. By Thursday, he sat just above the 15 percent mark on three approved national polls. CNN also required all participating debaters to get on a sufficient number of state ballots in order to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. Currently, Kennedy only has 89 electoral votes for being present on the ballot i...

Harsanyi: Stop trying to convince me Joe Biden isn’t a confused, doddering old man

By DAVID HARSANYI | The Federalist Listen, I’d support a zombie for president if they promised to nominate originalists for the Supreme Court and deregulate the economy. Do whatever you have to do. But stop telling me that Joe Biden isn’t a mentally and physically fragile man. We can all watch the video of our octogenarian president awkwardly freezing up and staring out at a crowd before former president Barack Obama takes his arm and leads him off the stage. Now, I can tell you from experience, it isn’t normal for a grown man to grab another man’s arm in this manner — unless one of them needs help. If Biden was really in the robust physical and mental state that the White House maintains, Obama would have merely said something to Biden or given him a friendly tap on the...

Lawyer, doctor, body man, bookkeeper: Joe Biden’s personal aides get involved in his relatives’ business dealings

By BEN SCHRECKINGER | Politico For years, Joe Biden shared a bookkeeper with his son, Hunter. He also shared a personal lawyer with his brother, Jim. And when Jim Biden wanted to know more about one of Hunter Biden’s associates, he hired the former head of Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail to investigate. Since 2019, Joe Biden has repeatedly distanced himself from his family’s business dealings, saying that he has never so much as discussed them with his relatives or with anyone else. But House impeachment inquiry interviews, public records and emails reviewed by POLITICO show that members of his inner circle were regularly enmeshed in those dealings: Many of the president’s closest staffers and advisers have doubled as his relatives’ business associates, both during and after their ...

Colorado Republicans call Biden’s asylum order ‘too little, too late,’ Dems say it’s ‘people over politics’

By By Nicole C. Brambila | Colorado Springs Gazette President Joe Biden’s sweeping executive action Tuesday to ban asylum seekers when illegal border crossings reach a certain threshold expectedly divided Colorado leaders along partisan lines, with Republicans calling the action “too little, too late” and Democrats describing the move as putting “people over politics.” Meanwhile, in Denver, a spokesperson for the city’s human services agency, which is in charge of the response to the crisis, said officials will closely monitor any impacts the executive order might have. “In the meantime, we will stay focused on what we are able to control, including our recent pivot away from emergency operations to a more sustainable programmatic approach,” Jon Ewing, a Denver Human Services spok...

Biden’s edict on Southern Border is an Election Year stunt, Republicans say

By Virginia Allen  | The Daily Signal President Joe Biden signed an executive order Tuesday giving himself the authority to close the border when the seven-day average of daily border crossings between ports of entry exceeds 2,500.  The order is set to take effect immediately, since the daily threshold has already been met. The border will only reopen if crossings between ports fall to a seven-day daily average of 1,500 or less.  Biden is drawing on the authority in Title 8 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to temporarily close the border.  READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL
