Quote:I reported about the meeting that some of the Democratic governors had with Joe Biden. He met with about 20 of them, some virtually, to reassure them about his candidacy. Then, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and NY Gov. Kathy Hochul came out and spun the meeting to the media, trying to convince everyone that Biden was fine and that they were supporting him.

One big question out of the meeting was why you didn't have California Gov. Gavin Newsom or Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer speaking after the meeting when their names have been batted around as possible replacements.

Democrat Governors Meet With Joe Biden. What They Say After Raises Big Questions.

But now there's another big question that's come out as a result of leaks from the meeting, as Matt Vespa at our sister site Townhall reported, citing Politico. During the meeting, Biden reportedly told the governors that he'd been checked out by a doctor after the debate,

Biden on Wednesday evening told more than 20 Democratic governors in a private meeting that he underwent a medical checkup after last week’s debate and is fine, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion.

During an hour-long meeting prompted by intensifying concerns about his health and political viability, one governor asked Biden about his physical condition. The president mentioned having had a checkup in recent days and asserted that he remains in good health, knocking on wood for effect, according to two of those people, who were granted anonymity to describe a private meeting.

This check-up was supposedly in relation to lingering symptoms from his "cold."

Biden’s remark, according to a person familiar with the president’s schedule, was in reference to a short checkup by a White House physician in the days following the debate due to lingering symptoms from his cold. The exam, that person added, was brief and did not include any major tests.

So when did this supposedly happen, and why weren't we told, given the intensity with which he's been covered since the debate?

Politico reported that when asked about whether he'd been examined since the debate, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sidestepped the question. Actually, according to the reporters, she said "no."

That would seem to be a problem.

Did this even happen? With Joe Biden, you can never be sure. Did he just make something up to the governors? If this happened, why wasn't it announced, and why didn't KJP seem to know about it? Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing in this clown car of an administration?

And just the fact that this was leaked says to me that there's dissension in the ranks, and they didn't manage to reassure those governors.

A couple of other juicy tidbits out of the meeting?

Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and Janet Mills of Maine were concerned about their states, believing that the blue states were now in play. That spells big trouble for Biden if true. We saw that the possibility of New Mexico was backed up by internal polling from Open Labs. We'll have to see more polling on that, but that's a big question.

Staffers are also leaking.

Privately, however, at least two staffers expressed concern about the uncertainty of Biden’s path forward. “They got through today, but it’s still very unclear where this goes,” said one of the staffers with direct knowledge of the meeting.

They can't even convince the staffers.

What a mess.

Die-hard Biden supporter MLG casts doubt on Biden’s electability: Report

Quote:During a Wednesday call with 20 Democrat governors, Joe Biden claimed that “he underwent a medical checkup after last week’s debate and is fine, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion,” per a Politico report.

However, the appointment was “a short checkup by a White House physician in the days following the debate due to lingering symptoms from his cold. The exam, that person added, was brief and did not include any major tests.”

The disastrous debate left Biden increasingly vulnerable, as Republican 45th President Donald Trump is now leading in many swing states, including New Mexico and Virginia, per leaked Democrat internal polling.

Politico noted that even Biden’s staunchest allies, such as New Mexico Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, are beginning to cast doubt on Biden’s electability, even in New Mexico.

“Two Democratic governors — Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and Janet Mills of Maine — expressed concern to Biden over whether he could still win their blue-leaning states, describing them as competitive, two of the people with knowledge of the discussion said. In 2020, Biden won New Mexico by 11 percentage points and Maine by 9 points,” the report noted.

Lujan Grisham is a campaign surrogate for Biden, vowing she will “do everything I can” to stop Trump in 2024.

The concern from the far-left Democrat governor appears to show that the dam is breaking, even with Joe Biden’s staunchest supporters.

Democratic governors meet with Biden to discuss future of campaign, declare 'he's all in'

Quote:On Wednesday, Democratic governors from across the US met with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House to discuss the president’s disastrous showing at the debate last week.

Among those who attended in person were Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who leads the Democratic Governors Association, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. Some, like Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, attended the meeting virtually, according to CBSNews.

Moore said, “The president has always had our backs. We’re going to have his back as well, because the results that we’ve been able to see under this administration have been undeniable in all of our individual states.”

He called the presidential race a "binary choice” between “someone who has continually delivered for us and the people of our states, and frankly, someone whose vision for the future of this country is downright dangerous."

Hochul claimed Biden was “in it to win it,” adding, “All of us pledged our support to him because the stakes could not be higher.”

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who is also not up for reelection, posted on X after the meeting, “Joe Biden is our nominee. He is in it to win it and I support him.”

California Gov Gavin Newsom, whose name has been floated as a possible replacement on the ticket for Biden, but is also not up for reelection, posted on X, “I heard three words from the President tonight—he’s all in. And so am I. Joe Biden has had our back and now it’s time to have his.”

I’ve got some beachfront property in Oklahoma…….

All Biden needs to do is take the MoCA & MMSE and release those tests to the public.

You know those backing Biden knows this is the easiest and quickest way to end all of this. Pass those two and it's reset to zero for his supporters. Yet they have not done that and that should tell anyone with half a brain what the score is.

Now, we all know the media lies, but the reports are that he told the governors:
He needed more sleep.
He needed to work fewer hours.
He needed to avoid any events after 8pm.

In other words, he is unfit for duty and should resign.

One twitter response-well our enemies know to start wars after dinner.

One of these articles say the NM and ME governors now say their states are tossups. RCP still shows them as lean Biden.

The leaked internal democratic poll showed Colorado, NM, and Maine all as tossups. (I believe Colorado was less than 2 point lead for Biden*, the other 2 states were less than .4 and .2 point leads.

Also, it showed Michigan out of reach, something Whitmer also confirmed early this week.

Biden tells Democrat governors he will stop scheduling events after 8 pm so he can get more sleep

Quote:On Wednesday, President Joe Biden reportedly told Democratic governors during a meeting at the White House that part of his plan to solve the perception that he is senile following his disastrous debate performance last week is to stop scheduling events after 8 pm so that he can get more sleep. CNN reported that several of the governors in the room left frustrated.

According to The New York Times, the 81-year-old Biden was attempting to reassure the gathering of over 20 Democratic governors that he could beat former President Donald Trump in November and govern effectively for four more years.

Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz attempted to quell the backlash to the story by saying, “President Bush went to bed at 9, and President Obama made dinner at 6:30. Normal presidents strike a balance, and so does Joe Biden. Hardly the same rigor as Donald Trump, who spends half of his day ranting on Truth Social about plans that would cause a recession and the other half golfing.”

Biden also reportedly said during the meeting, “I’m fine. I don’t know about my brain, though.” Biden’s campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon claimed Biden was joking. After the meeting, Democratic Govs. Wes Moore of Maryland, Kathy Hochul of New York, and Tim Walz of Minnesota, none of who are up for reelection, claimed during a press conference that Biden is “all in…to win it.”

In response to a reporter’s question, Walz dismissed any concerns about Biden’s age and health, saying the president is “fit for office.” And Biden’s debate performance opened the floodgates for more scrutiny and reporting on the president’s health, with sources describing a decline in his mental fitness.

At this point, all the idiot administration does is run cover gramps. Do they ever do any real work????
