President Joe Biden is unconvinced by media and top Democratic narratives that he’s no longer electable after his discouraging debate performance last Thursday. When asked on the campaign trail why he thought he was the strongest candidate to defeat Donald Trump, Biden touted his record, both as a candidate and as a president.

“Because I’ve beaten him before, and I’ve done more than any president has,” Biden told reporters clustering around Air Force One after a Wisconsin rally on Friday.

Biden has aggressively pushed back on pressures to exit the race and has hit the campaign trail in full swing, planning large in-person rallies in key swing states to go face-to-face with voters and get in front of cameras, as part of an effort to sway public perception of his competency. But, evidenced in clips like the one above, he is seemingly taking his frustration at the media at large out on individual reporters.

“You were wrong about 2020. You were wrong about 2022. We were going to get wiped out. Remember the red wave?” Biden says to the reporter in the clip, before unloading another set of races which he says the media falsely predicted. “You were wrong about 2023. You said all the tough races . . . we won all but two."

3. Telling the voters that the media is trying to dictate who to vote for

Might be one angle.

The media wants a rapist, 34 times convicted felon, etc to be president

5. Indeed. The 6 media conglomerates want their tax cuts and deregulation; they don't care about people.

4. Hey, Rep. Angie Craig!

Is THAT forceful enough for you?!?!

Earlier Rep. Angie Craig called on President Biden to drop out citing "the lack of a forceful response from the President himself following that debate".

Pretty much all he has done the past few days is respond forcefully, but some of these people have already made up their minds and they aren't paying any attention to the real world.

7. Has she suggested ways for Biden to be forceful?

Specific responses?

[PatSeg]

8. Evidently that was not included in her talking points

If she'd actually been paying attention instead of listening to the chattering class, she would have been aware that Joe is out there pushing back.

6. It may be time for us to start pointing fingers and yelling, "DINO!"
