President Joe Biden had another gaffe when he appeared at a rally in Wisconsin to declare that he is still the presidential nominee of the Democrat Party.
“There’s been a lot of speculation: What’s Joe going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out?” he said to the crowd in a 17-minute speech.
“Here’s my answer: I’m running and going to win again,” he said before having his brain freeze.
“I’m the nominee of the Democratic Party,” the president said to the crowd who gathered in a middle school gym. “You voted for me to be your nominee — no one else.
“Some folks don’t seem to care who you voted for. Guess what? They are trying to push me out of the race. Let me say this as clearly as I can: I’m staying in the race,” the president said.
“I will beat Donald Trump,” he said. “I will beat him again in 2020.”
Woohoo
Go Joe Biden 2020

The president then corrected himself and said, “By the way, we’re going to do it again in 2024.”
The president also committed to doing another debate with former President Donald Trump, but when the former president challenged him to a debate on Friday he had certain parameters.
“I have the answer to the Crooked Joe Biden Incompetence Puzzle — Let’s do another Debate, but this time, no holds barred – An all on discussion, with just the two of us on stage, talking about the future of our Country. The ratings were massive for the First Debate, record-setting, in fact, but this one, because of the format, would blow everything away! Let Joe explain why he wants Open Borders, with millions of people, and many violent criminals from parts unknown, pouring into our once great Nation, or why he wants Men Playing in Women’s Sports, or demand ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES within five years, or why he allowed INFLATION TO RUN RAMPANT, destroying the people of our Country, and so much more. It would also, under great pressure, prove his “competence,” or lack thereof. Likewise it would be yet another test for me. What a great evening it would be, just the two of us, one on one, in a good, old-fashioned Debate, the way they used to be. ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!!!” the former president said on his TruthSocial account.
But the response to the president’s trainwreck debate against the former president still has many calling for him to step aside and allow another Democrat to take his place.
Among them has been former advisor to former President Obama, Van Jones, who spoke on CNN where he is a commentator.
He said that it is not a matter of “if” the president steps aside but when.
“Look, I’m just going to be honest. I mean, everybody comes on the air and says all this great stuff. But behind the scenes, it’s a full-scale panic. People are passing around legal memos. PDFs are flying back and forth on WhatsApp, trying to figure out what are the options, how can you replace Biden, how do you get him to do it in a way where he feels respected as he should be respected, who should Kamala Harris’ vice president be. The conversation on air and the conversation off air are completely different,” he said.
“And so it’s the same thing what you saw with the Trump situation, where people would come on air and defend Trump. And then you talk to people, and then we’ve got a crazy candidate. We don’t have a crazy candidate. We have a great candidate. We have a beautiful man. We have someone who loves this country. We have someone who has given his all. I mean, his all to the last drop for this country, but he may not be able to get across the finish line. And a mature party has to take that into account, and that is what’s happening,” Jones added.
