Earlier this month President Biden gave a speech intended to rally the midterm troops, and that event was held in the solidly blue DC suburb of Rockville, Maryland… at a high school.

Yesterday Biden had an event in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania that was predicted to have similar energy:

There is a very good reason the media never provides a wide shot of Biden's rallies and speeches. You get more people at PTA meetings.

anyone notice they never do a wide shot of Biden's so called rally. I guess they don't want us to see how few showed up🤣🤣

Most of the videos from the news just show Biden addressing the audience from the stage, and it’s no surprise that Biden’s handlers would have requested no wide shots because the size of the crowd was… well, let’s just say rather unimpressive for a president who we’re told received the most votes of any candidate in U.S. presidential history:

Good on FOX for the wide shot showing the gathering 😂

This could help explain why Biden’s approval rating actually went UP when he was on vacation, and then things went back to normal when he got back to calling half the country semi-fascists.
