In a powerful letter delivered to Congressional Democrats on Monday, President Biden made it crystal clear that he is not dropping out of the presidential race and that it was time to drop the talk of replacing him and move forward on a united front. This comes as an increasing, though still small, number of elected Democrats are calling for him to drop out of the race - along with donors and 70% of liberal voters. But Biden is adamant that he can do the job.
Most of the media attention for the past week and a half has been on President Biden following his debate performance. The few times the media talked about Donald Trump it centered on how dangerous he could become due to the Supreme Court's immunity ruling and Project 2025. Trump, according to Democrats, has been hiding out for the last week, hoping to keep the media spotlight on Biden, but Democrats are now calling him out of hiding to shift the media's focus.
During a recent interview with Steve Bannon (before he was incarcerated), Donald Trump ally Kash Patel issued a direct threat to those of us on the Left. Patel stated clearly that "we're going to come after you," referring to anyone that has gone after Trump in the media in a way that Patel and Trump's other allies don't approve of. This is not just unconstitutional, it is insanely dangerous for the future of this country.
Kellyanne Conway is going to continue to get paid to push propaganda for Donald Trump, and her payday is getting even bigger. Fox announced this week that Conway would soon begin hosting her own show on Fox Nation, the network's streaming platform, just in time to push pro-Trump nonsense ahead of the election. Trump spent the weekend railing against the network on Truth Social, so maybe this was their attempt to appease him.
All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!
