A leaked Biden Campaign polling memo obtained by Puck News shows President Biden barreling towards a landslide defeat. The president has lost significant ground in key swing states in the days following his disastrous debate performance, while the Biden Campaign is barely holding on in longtime blue states like Minnesota and even Colorado, according to their own poll.

The memo was put together after the debate by OpenLabs, which is the research arm of Future Forward, a progressive political action committee that has become a crucial part of Biden’s re-election bid. Puck News noted that while OpenLabs does not make much of their research public, their results are, “trusted in Democratic circles, and typically passed around to a small group of clients and strategists.”

One of these strategists leaked the memo to Puck News reporter Peter Hamby.

The poll — which was conducted 72 hours after Thursday’s debate and emailed to party strategists on Sunday — found that a staggering 40 percent of respondents who voted for President Biden in 2020 now believe that he should suspend his campaign. This represents a massive shift from a previous survey in May, that found roughly a quarter of Biden 2020 voters said the same.

Biden took a particularly large hit among swing voters, as this demographic believes Biden should exit the race by a 2-to-1 margin.

The poll found that the president has only dropped slightly in the national race against former President Donald Trump, a figure that falls roughly in line with another internal poll released by the campaign in order to assuage the fears of Democrat voters. That poll, which was shared by top Biden pollster Geoff Garin over the weekend, found Biden trailing Trump by one percentage point.

“The debate had no effect on the vote choice,” Garin said. “The election was extremely close and competitive before the debate, and it is still extremely close and competitive today.” Polls conducted immediately after the debate by CNN and FiveThirtyEight suggested similarly negligible gains for Trump nationally, with CNN reporting that “just 5 percent of respondents say it changed their minds about whom to vote for.”

While OpenLabs found similar results at a national level, state-by-state results painted a dire picture for the Biden Campaign. In a poll including third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Biden has dropped by roughly two points in every single swing state, as well as a number of reliably blue states.

In Pennsylvania, a state Biden has visited often and claims as his home state, the president is now trailing by seven percentage points, down from five points before the debate. The same was true in Michigan, where he is also trailing Trump by seven points.

OpenLabs further found that Biden is trailing by 10 points in Arizona and Georgia, and by almost nine points in Nevada.

The most troubling results came from states that have not been considered battlegrounds throughout the campaign. In Virginia, New Mexico, New Mexico, Maine and Minnesota, Biden is holding his lead by just a fraction of a percentage point. In the blue state of Colorado, Biden leads by just two points.

OpenLabs also found Biden trailing in New Hampshire, a result that falls in line with a new survey from Saint Anselm College that also found the president trailing in the Granite State.

The progressive polling outfit also measured results for a number of high-profile Democrats who have been floated as potential replacements for Joe Biden, including California Governor Gavin Newson, Vice President Harris, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Every single replacement candidate polled better than President Biden.

A previous survey conducted back in September found no significant difference between potential replacement candidates and President Biden.

Former President Donald Trump provided a hilarious response to the prospect of running against Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday.

While on the golf course in Florida, Trump spoke about Biden’s debate apocalypse and the possibility that he could soon be exiting the race.

“How’d I do with the debate the other night?” Trump asked a small group of reporters and onlookers before referring to his rival as an “old, broken down pile of crap.”

“He’s a bad guy. He just quit, you know, he’s quitting. He’s quitting the race,” the former president said. “Yup, I got him out of the race. And that means we have Kamala.”

Trump then predicted that Harris would make for an easier opponent than President Biden. “I think she’s gonna be better. She’s so bad, she’s so pathetic,” the presidential frontrunner said while adjusting his gloves. “She’s so fu***ng bad.”

“Could you imagine that guy dealing with Putin and the president of China, who’s a fierce person. He’s a fierce man,” Trump said in reference to Biden’s abilities.

“Now we have Kamala. She’s so f—king bad”

Trump’s insistence that Biden will indeed be dropping out of the race comes as several high-profile Democrat strategists, donors and elected officials are calling for exactly that.

Despite the pressure, President Biden has remained adamant that he is staying in after huddling with his family at Camp David last weekend. First Lady Jill Biden has attempted to shift blame to her husband’s advisors, namely veteran Democrat strategist Ron Klain.

Hunter Biden, 54, was also reportedly a major factor in convincing his father to stay in the race. Hunter has since been “popping into” White House meetings and inserting himself into conversations between his father and his advisors.

In a number of public and private statements, President Biden has stated that he has no intentions of dropping out. “Let me say this as clearly as I possibly can as simply and straightforward as I can: I am running…no one’s pushing me out. I’m not leaving. I’m in this race to the end and we’re going to win,” Biden said in a campaign phone call on Wednesday.

Top-rated conservative journalist Tucker Carlson announced Wednesday that he has booked a long-awaited interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Looks like we’ve got the Zelenskyy interview. We’ve been trying for two years, and with particular intensity after interviewing Putin in February,” Carlson announced in an X post.

“The point is to bring Americans much-needed information about the conflict that’s completely reshaping their country’s position in the world. Coming soon we hope.”

Earlier this year, Carlson conducted what was perhaps the most high-profile interview of his career when he sat down with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. The two discussed a number of topics, including U.S.-Russia relations and the War in Ukraine, while Putin delivered a nearly hour-long overview of the history of Russia.

“Two years into a war that’s reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed… But they should know,” Carlson said when announcing the interview.

“They are fawning pep sessions specifically designed to amplify Zelensky’s demand that the U.S. enter more deeply into a war in Eastern Europe and pay for it. That is not journalism. It is government propaganda. Propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people.”

Carlson has long stated that he wants to interview Zelensky and get his take on the conflict.

“I heard some messages in media, and, also, my guys who are advisers, they said. So I don’t have to do — I don’t have time to hear more than two hours of bull**it about us, about the world, about the United States, about our relations, and this interview with a killer. So I have got some briefly what were there,” Zelensky said shortly after Carlson conducted his interview with Putin.

Despite the Ukrainian state’s often hostile stance towards Carlson and Americans who question their nation’s multi-billion dollar commitment to Ukraine, Zelensky appears set to give the long-awaited interview.

President Biden delivered a brief press conference from the White House on Monday after Supreme Court ruled in favor of presidential immunity for official acts. The president told multiple lies in a five-minute speech before wrapping up without taking any questions from reporters.

“For all practical purposes, today’s decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a President can do,” Biden claimed. “This is a fundamentally new principle, and it’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law, even including the Supreme Court of the United States. The only limits will be self-imposed by the President alone.”

In the wake of the decision, the far-left has claimed that presidents now have the ability to act as dictators and do anything they want, an opinion that was firmly rejected by Chief Justice John Roberts, who explicitly stated that the ruling does not mean the president is “not above the law” in his opinion. The ruling merely concerns official acts, Roberts explained, meaning that the justices sent the case back to lower courts to determine if the acts at the center of Trump’s January 6 case were “official.”

This did not stop the dissenting justices — Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson — from making a number of bizarre claims, including that presidents will be able to act as “kings” and be able to assassinate their political opponents.

President Biden repeated a number of the hyperbolic and false claims made by dissenting justices during his brief statement on Monday evening.

The president accused the nation’s highest court of continuing its, “attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose, to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.”

From there, Biden continued with a dark and divisive tone by repeating a number of lies concerning the January 6 Capitol protests.

“Nearly four years ago, my predecessor sent a violent mob to the U.S. Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power,” Biden said, ignoring the fact that Trump told his supporters to protest peacefully outside the Capitol Building.

“We all saw it with our own eyes. We sat there and watched it happen that day. An attack on the police, the ransacking of the Capitol, a mob literally hunting down the House Speaker,” he continued, failing to mention that Capitol Police sparked the disturbance by firing tear gas into a peaceful crowd, which ended up blowing back on their own officers and caused police lines to collapse.

The president also falsely claimed that the crowd wanted to hang Vice President Mike Pence by using a prop gallows made out of plywood.

“I think it’s fair to say is one of the darkest days in the history of America. Now the man who sent that mob to the U.S. Capitol is facing potential criminal conviction for what happened that day. And the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the upcoming election. The public has a right to know the answer about what happened on January 6th before they asked to vote again this year,” Biden continued. “Now, because of today’s decision, that is highly, highly unlikely. It’s a terrible disservice to the people of this nation. So now, now the American people have to do what the courts should have been willing to do but will not.”

He then called on the American people to reject former President Trump and render a judgement on whether, “Donald Trump’s assault on our democracy on January 6th makes him unfit for public office in the highest office in the land.”

President Biden closed his speech by stating that he agrees with Justice Sotomayor’s dissent before sprinting back to the Oval Office without taking any questions from reporters.

The New York Times is reporting that President Biden intends to stay in the presidential race after discussing his political future with his family at Camp David on Sunday.

Biden huddled with his wife, children and grandchildren at Camp David on Sunday as he attempted to plot a course of action after a catastrophic debate performance on Thursday evening. “While his relatives are acutely aware of how poorly he did against former President Donald J. Trump, they argued that he could still show the country that he is capable of serving for another four years,” the New York Times reported.

The president is also reportedly soliciting ideas from advisors about how to proceed, while his staff has been suggesting whether he should sit for interviews or hold a press conference in order to shift the narrative.

(ALERT: Biden’s New Executive Order Will Crush The US Dollar For Good)

In response to reports that Democrat donors, strategists and elected officials have been discussing the possibility of replacing Biden, the president’s aides have been “burning phone lines over the weekend” to prevent key allies from abandoning him.

One of the strongest voices urging President Biden to stay in the race was his son Hunter Biden, a source familiar with the meeting said. “Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night,” the New York Times reported.

Other family members also attempted to encourage the president and offered ways in which they could be helpful. At least one of Biden’s grandchildren has expressed interest in getting more involved with the campaign by talking with social media influencers.

The issue of President Biden continuing his campaign has ignited a feud within the Democrat Party. John Morgan, a top Democratic donor, publicly blamed a number of the president’s advisers for Thursday nights performance. Morgan named Ron Klain, Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer.

“Biden has for too long been fooled by the value of Anita Dunn and her husband,” Mr. Morgan wrote in an X post. “They need to go … TODAY. The grifting is gross. It was political malpractice.”

Morgan reiterated his point in a follow-up interview. “It would be like if you took a prizefighter who was going to have a title fight and put him in a sauna for 15 hours then said, ‘Go fight,’” he said. “I believe that the debate is solely on Ron Klain, Bob Bauer and Anita Dunn.”

Members of Biden’s family are also reportedly blaming Biden’s advisers, including Dunn, and her husband Bob Bauer, who played the role of former President Trump in debate rehearsals.

President Biden himself does not appear to be blaming Klein, Bauer and Dunn for the performance, however, as the source told the New York Times that the president is maintaining confidence in them. One member of Biden’s inner-circle stated that “no one was happy with how the debate turned out and that it was human nature to look for someone to blame.”

Klain did not comment on the discussion surrounding debate preparations, though he did express confidence that Biden will be staying in the race. “He is the choice of the Democratic voters,” Klain told the New York Times. “We are seeing record levels of support from grass-roots donors. We had a bad debate night. But you win campaigns by fighting — not quitting — in the face of adversity.”

A staggering 72 percent of registered voters do not believe that President Biden has the “mental and cognitive health necessary to serve as president,” a new CBS News/YouGov poll found.

The shocking result represents an eight-point shift after the debate, as 65 percent of respondents said Biden does not have the cognitive ability to serve as president on June 9.

(VOTE NOW: Did TRUMP or BIDEN Win The First Debate?)

Former President Donald performed much better, as 50 percent of the electorate believes he has the cognitive ability to serve.

CBS noted that while the final results widely fell along partisan lines, the latest poll found double-digit movement among Democrats, as well as movement among independents.

When asked whether President Biden should continue his presidential bid, the results were staggering once again. Just 28 percent of respondents said Biden should keep going, down from 37 percent in February.

Nearly half of registered Democrats believe that Biden should step aside, with just 54 percent saying he should continue his re-election bid. This represents a ten-point shift from February.

Most voters who say Biden should not continue his campaign have referenced his advanced age, ability to campaign and his effectiveness in office.

The poll comes after multiple outlets have reported that Democrat donors, strategists and elected officials have been mulling the possibility of replacing the president. Biden is meeting with his family at Camp David on Sunday in order to discuss his political future, according to a report from NBC News.

Despite growing panic, Biden has publicly vowed to stay in the race. “I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can  do this job,” the president told supporters in North Carolina on Friday.

Democrat Party insiders told NBC News that if Biden does indeed step down, it may not happen until he is formally nominated at the Democratic National Convention in August. This would give party leaders better control over selecting a replacement.

A high school girls’ track coach is furious after his team lost a tournament to a team with a. transgender-identifying male student

Dean Vergillo, the coach of the Cedarcrest High School girls track & field team, came forward after one of his athletes lost the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) state track and field meet to trans athlete Veronica Garcia in May.

“As a cross country and track coach, everybody has a running style,” Vergillo said during an appearance at the Independent Women’s Forum. “It’s kind of like your fingerprint — everybody runs a little bit differently. In this case, it was obviously a male running.”

(ALERT: Biden’s New Executive Order Will Crush The US Dollar For Good)

Vergillo added that one his girls ended up setting a school record but still lost to the male athlete. In addition, coach Vergillo and his team had no clue they were going to be having a trans athlete until the very last minute.

“As a coach, I found out about it just through talking to other coaches from around the state,” Vergillo explained. “Then, in the [girls’] 400-meter open race, the individual from our school that qualified only found out about an hour before.”

The coach also took aim at state education officials for allowing the event to take place.

“It’s definitely going to be a bigger issue given that we’ll know what’s happening going into it. My biggest disappointment in this situation is how our state association [the WIAA] didn’t prepare us for what was coming,” he said. “We’ve had many coaches, through text, emails, or just verbally, state their displeasure with the situation.”

While a number of states have banned transgender-identifying athletes from competing in sports with the opposite gender, Washington has done the opposite. Students are allowed to participate in sports for whichever “gender identity” they choose, all without medical requirements placed on the athletes.

The trans athlete, Veronica Garcia, recently complained about boos he was receiving at events. “I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So, I guess I expected to get that reciprocated. But I didn’t get that,” Gacria said in an interview with the Spokesman-Review.

In the aftermath of President Biden’s catastrophic debate performance on Thursday, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) believes the key takeaway is that President Biden is not running the country.

“You never knew how bad it was going to be, but it couldn’t have been worse for Joe Biden,” Tuberville said during a radio interview with Mobile, AL radio’s FM Talk 106.5.

“But, you know, the big loser last night, Jeff, was the American people. American people have finally found out what’s been going on for the last three-and-a-half, four years. Somebody behind the scenes like the Obamas, the Clintons, Schumer and Pelosi, they’re running our country and Joe Biden has been a puppet president,” the senator continued. “He’s the same as he’s been. He’s gotten a little bit worse, but it was a disaster.”

“President Trump did a good job of pretty much using facial expressions and staying out of the way,” Tuberville added. “The rules kind of helped him in terms of not being able to interrupt. But it’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t know what direction the Democrats will go right now, but they’re in panic mode, and the American people just need to understand the deep state is running this country. And they’re going to continue to do it if the Democratic Party and the RINOs of this country keep electing them.”

In the days following the debate, several outlets have reported that there is growing dissatisfaction with Biden’s leadership within the Democrat Party. The president has received support from the leading candidates to replace him, however, including California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President Harris.

NBC News is reporting that Biden is set to meet with family at Camp David on Sunday in order to discuss his political future. If Biden were to drop out, one source told the outlet that DNC leaders would have far more influence over a potential replacement if the president bows out after receiving the nomination.

After a disastrous debate performance on Thursday, President Biden and his family are holding an informal meeting at Camp David on Sunday in order to discuss the future of his campaign, according to a report from NBC News.

In the hours and days following the debate, high-profile Democrat leaders and potential Biden successors have affirmed their support for the president. This includes California Governor Gavin Newsom and Vice President Kamala Harris, both of whom rejected the notion that Biden should step down. Former President Barack Obama also affirmed his support for Biden and expressed confidence in his ability to bounce back.

Still, a number of Democrats have been panicked over Biden’s ability to win re-election or even govern effectively. Both CNN and MSNBC reported that Democrat strategists, donors and elected officials immediately started holding meetings over Biden’s future as soon as the debate began.

(VOTE NOW: Did TRUMP or BIDEN Win The First Debate?)

One House Democrat who believes Biden should drop out of the race — but has yet to call for that publicly — told NBC News that three additional lawmakers expressed the same sentiment to him during votes on the House floor Friday.

While Biden has received support from leading House Democrats, party leaders have also conceded that the president will need to take time in order to determine his next steps. “The decision-makers are two people — it’s the president and his wife,” one source told NBC. “Anyone who doesn’t understand how deeply personal and familial this decision will be isn’t knowledgeable about the situation.”

Biden insisted Friday that he intends to stay in the race. “I would not be running again if I didn’t believe with all my heart and soul I can  do this job,” the president told supporters in North Carolina.

If President Biden were to step down, DNC insiders would have a better chance at choosing a replacement if the president were to step down after receiving the nomination in August. “We need to have as much discipline as emotion,” one senior Democratic official said. “It’s not politically smart for Biden to step down.”

Reigning U.S. Open Champion Bryson DeChambeau wants to settle the debate over the golf game of President Biden and former President Trump by hosting a golf match between the two.

Trump and Biden clashed over their respective gold handicaps after the former president questioned Biden’s cognitive ability. Trump — an avid golfer and owner of multiple courses — bragged that he recently won two club championships at the age of 78. “To do that, you have to be quite smart, and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way, and I do it,” he continued. “He doesn’t do it. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He challenged me to a golf match—he can’t hit a ball 50 yards.” 

Biden then pointed to his golf handicap while serving as vice president and added that he would be happy to settle the discussion with a driving contest.

(Trump Sounds The Alarm On The US Currency – PREPARE NOW)

The back-and-forth went viral on social media and emerged as one of the highlights of the 90-minute debate. DeChambeau — who has become one of golf’s biggest stars thanks in part to his wildly popular YouTube channel — was kick to offer to settle the debate once and for all.

“Let’s settle this whole handicap debate, I’ll host the golf match on my YouTube,” DeChambeau wrote in an X post while tagging both candidates.

The LIV golf star — who won his second U.S. Open earlier this month after out-dueling Rory McIlroy — has golfed with Trump on multiple occasions.

After winning his second major championship at Pinehurst over Father’s Day weekend, DeChambeau celebrated the victory with the former president’s son Eric and his wife, RNC co-chair Lara Trump.

The multi-time PGA and LIV winner has been on an incredible run in 2024. He tied for sixth in the Masters and finished runner-up at the PGA Championship.
