On Tuesday, we reported about Joe Biden’s comments at the White House Congressional Picnic. He wondered where President Obama was. The worst thing about the event, which was supposed to be light and unifying, was when Joe Biden got it wrong on Ben Gittleson, an ABC reporter.
Gittleson dares to ask Biden his opinion on the fact that most Democrats don’t want him to run again. Biden turned on Gittleson, screaming, “Read the Polls Jack!” and insisting that the reporter was wrong. This is in total denial of reality.

Scary eyes, especially when he’s looking at you that way. Biden is not one to be challenged. He has never been challenged. But it’s getting worse. We saw that Gittleson was right.
CNN has now blasted Biden for the exchange and pointed out how wrong Biden’s response was.
Here’s CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Coll, who points out that Gittleson was correct:
Asked about the NYT polling showing 64% of Dems prefer a different candidate in 2024, Biden tells @bgittleson his party wants him to run. “Read the polls. Read the polls, Jack. You guys are all the same. That poll showed that 92% of Democrats, if I ran, would vote for me.”

Collins corrected Biden’s false statistic of “92 percent”. She also pointed out that Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary, also falsely promoted this claim.
But that’s not what the polling showed. It showed what Ben said, but the 92% number (which @KJP46 also cited incorrectly) comes from Dems who would pick Biden over Trump in a rematch. https://t.co/KWCpuLPwf6

If Trump was available, the majority of Democrats would choose Biden. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they want Biden running again. Many want someone else than a geriatric, old man. Biden is hemorrhaging voters across all voter dynamics, especially in Democratic approval. Biden refuses to acknowledge that. I wonder if Biden even knows the difference if his people are being honest with him about the polling and what Americans really think of him.
Biden isn’t doing well when CNN loses him. He seems to be being thrown under the bus by more media outlets, and that is a sign of a coming change.
