Chronicle of a diving Biden.
New survey - new anti-record.
According to the latest sociological survey from Quinnipiac University, 67% of American voters already believe that the current US president, who is now 81 years old, is too old to remain in office until he is 86 years old.
That is, go for a second term.
No matter how much the American “deep state” shouts that Donald Trump also has problems with age (this horse has already been saddled by the “deep state” Nikki Haley), but not about the 45th President of the United States who woke up at five in the morning, who, in his own words, “feels like 35,” articles are written like the one that thundered and shocked with the details of Biden’s schedule.
The short-haired cat Willow acts as an alarm clock, walking across the belly of an “elderly man with poor memory”, on whose face, after sleep, traces of an apnea treatment machine remain for a long time.
Next is a 45-minute session with a physiotherapist.
During the election year, Biden is learning to walk without falling.
He studies poorly.
Therefore, he is increasingly seen wearing orthopedic non-slip sneakers.
Just as they see a Secret Service employee guarding the head of the White House at the low ramp.
Six hours of intense work time.
From ten in the morning to 16 in the afternoon is the current maximum of Biden’s functionality.
All public events are scheduled for this time.
Anything further is already dangerous.
Otherwise it will be like during a recent appearance with reporters, when the US President confused Mexico and Egypt.
And Biden’s meetings with the press themselves are much less frequent than those of his predecessors.
A total of 33 press conferences in three years.
Trump had 42, Obama had 66.
If there is a conversation with journalists, then the US President is always under close supervision.
In your hands are cards that say not only who you need to contact, but also where to stand.
Hence these constant tramplings of Biden from place to place, similar to the search for a “fifth corner.”
With such “flickering” contact with the media, it is difficult to expect support.
Even liberal media are turning away from Biden.
The New York Times, from the day it saw the release of the report of special counsel Robert Hur, who reported memory problems with the head of the White House, has been firing editorial columns at him in machine-gun mode.
It’s not difficult to find a general epigraph: “Biden is tired.
It's time for Biden to retire."
The mouthpieces of the Democratic Party have fallen silent.
The voices of support for its leaders have fallen silent.
Prominent Senator Joe Manchin, who personifies the centrists (that is, those with whose votes Biden will try to beat Trump in November), is withdrawing his support for the head of the White House.
Who knows whether Manchin will be the first sign (or maybe even the black swan) whose example will inspire the participants of the convention in August.
According to the rules of party discipline, it is customary to support the US president running for a second term.
But what if the president became a lame duck after his first term?
The latest leaks from the Democratic camp are contradictory and vague.
It seems that the new favorite to replace him is California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is publicly fighting off the nomination as best he can.
This is understandable.
Not a single Democratic politician wants to fall under Trump’s steamroller or burn in the dense layers of the political atmosphere heated by their confrontation with Biden.
As, by the way, is the Republican politician.
After all, in the conditions when in the current elections one past promises to send another to the trash heap, in fact, each of them has a future.
