No matter how much The New York Times and other left-wing media outlets try to stop him, Donald Trump Jr. refuses to quit holding presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden accountable for his history of creepy behavior. And so when the Times attempted Saturday to slam the president’s eldest son for sharing a clear-cut joke meme on Instagram of Biden, Trump Jr. doubled down. The fiasco started early Saturday morning when DJT shared the following to Instagram:

The presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee bristled when asked Tuesday about when he expected to restart his campaign for the White House ahead of the general election. "We're on the campaign trail now. And everybody says, 'You know Biden's hiding.' Well, let me tell you something — we're doing very well," he told ABC News.

For over two months, Biden has been holed up in his Wilmington, Delaware home, conducting digital press conferences and campaign rallies through social media and streaming services. Those sessions have led to continued technological issues and anxiety from some Democrats that the former vice presidents's White House bid is failing to compete with the Trump administration's daily press briefings on the government's response to the coronavirus outbreak. Biden's isolation has served as a punch-line for President Trump's reelection campaign, which routinely sends out press releases mocking his basement campaign rallies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who alleged Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 27 years ago, is being represented by a prominent lawyer and political donor to President Donald Trump’s 2016 Republican campaign. Attorney Douglas Wigdor told The Associated Press he was not currently being paid for his work with Reade. His firm also denied there was a political motivation for his decision to represent Reade in her accusations against Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent in the November election.

Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams is ramping up her pressure campaign to be Joe Biden's vice presidential pick. According to Politico on Tuesday, Abrams has been calling Democratic power brokers and asking that they tell the Biden campaign she should be chosen as his running mate. . . . Abrams has cited her experience in the private sector as well as her "independent study" of international affairs as qualifications for the role.

Rose McGowan is standing behind Joe Biden assault accuser Tara Reade after a clip of "Larry King Live" from 1993 resurfaced Friday and appears to include her mother alluding to "problems" her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-U.S. senator from Delaware. The actress-turned-activist took to Twitter shortly after the clip went viral Friday night. The controversy also spawned the hashtag #DropOutBiden, which was trending on the social media platform into Saturday. "TARA READE IS TELLING THE TRUTH," McGowan, who boasts 925,000 followers, wrote Friday. McGowan, a victim of disgraced movie mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein,...

Ran across this on Twitter, I thought I'd share it. Click on image to see whole thing, it's twitter and safe. Don't eat when you check out old slow Joe. The gif is shareable.

Folks, I know these are tough times, but this crisis has made it clearer than ever how much elections matter — and what a difference it makes who is in the White House.

---SNIP--- First, Biden, unlike Trump, understands that a president must model good behavior. In his ABC interview, he said he would be willing to wear a mask in public, something Trump announced he would not do, undercutting the recommendation of experts. “I think it’s important to follow the science, listen to the experts, do what they tell you,” Biden said. “He may not like how he looks in a mask, but the truth of the matter is that — follow the science. That’s what they’re telling us.” A president, you see, puts vanity aside, supports his own scientists and understands...

Tonight marks our biggest public end-of-quarter deadline of the campaign so far. I know times are tough, but what’s at stake in this election has never been clearer. If you could chip in to help us reach our goal, I would really appreciate it: https://t.co/qRzUR2DdVI— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) March 31, 2020

Despite self-isolating at his home in Delaware, US presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden will on Monday begin giving “shadow” briefings on the coronavirus pandemic. The news site Politico reports that the leading Democratic Party candidate for the White House has installed live streaming technology at his house to allow him to give regular updates on the health emergency. Biden currently leads Senator Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race to take on Trump in November’s US presidential election. The former vice president says the shadow briefings are necessary to help inform and protect the American people due to...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—If Joe Biden wins the Democratic nomination, his running mate will be a woman, he said Sunday. He then promised that no matter which woman he appointed as his running mate, he would stand behind her at all times. Biden, throughout his presidential run, has mentioned a host of women as possible vice-presidential picks who he would love to stand directly behind at an uncomfortably close distance, including former primary rivals California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Biden says each has an aroma about them that he likes. "You know I don't...

Biden's code name will be "Celtic," according to CNN. The former vice president has Irish Catholic heritage. Congressional leaders and other observers called for Biden to receive Secret Service protection after two protesters shouting, “Let dairy die!” rushed up to him on his stage during an event the night of Super Tuesday. Biden's wife, Jill, and top aide Symone Sanders escorted the protesters off the stage.

The White House is no place for on-the-job training — Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus has made that even more clear. We need a president who is ready to clean up his mess, take responsibility, and lead us forward on day one.— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) March 14, 2020

Mental health professionals who have expressed concern over what they see as Donald Trump’s declining faculties say that similar fears about Joe Biden’s are overblown. “A few stumbled words are not the same as the extreme danger that result from a list of signs that Donald Trump has shown,” Bandy Lee, a psychiatrist on the faculty at the Yale School of Medicine, told Yahoo News, “and none of them apply to Joe Biden.” Yet since Biden’s reemergence as a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, Lee has been flooded by requests to assess the former vice president’s string of stumbles...

Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar are set to endorse Biden at a Texas rally Monday night. Klobuchar suspended her campaign earlier Monday, while Buttigieg dropped out Sunday evening.But they're not the only big names throwing their weight behind Biden's campaign, which has seen a turnaround after a sweeping victory in South Carolina overshadowed his poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire. Other political figures endorsing Biden on Monday include: Former Senate Minority Leader Harry ReidFormer UN ambassador and Obama national security adviser Susan RiceIllinois Sen. Tammy DuckworthCalifornia Rep. Gil CisnerosTexas Rep. Veronica EscobarOhio Rep. Marcia FudgeFormer Colorado Sen. Mark UdallAustin Mayor...

Speaking at a campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday, Biden was talking about the Violence Against Women Act, which he drafted as a U.S. senator, when he offered an ill-advised scenario of a woman walking naked to say that “no man has a right to touch her.” “No man has a right to lay a hand on a woman for any reason other than self-defense,” Biden said. “If someone in this room got up, took off all their clothes, and walked out the door, no man has a right to touch her.”

Joe Biden is heading south. The former vice president abruptly announced on Tuesday morning that he won’t spend primary night in New Hampshire as planned and instead is flying to South Carolina to headline a newly scheduled kick-off rally in the state he’s long considered his campaign firewall. “We’re going to head to South Carolina tonight,” Biden told reporters as he visited a polling station with voting underway in the state that holds the first primary in the race for the White House. “And I’m going to Nevada… we’ve got to look at them all.” The campaign confirmed Biden is...

If you’re the type of person who thinks the Democratic party is a creaking, incompetent entity whose leadership needs overthrowing, the Iowa caucuses certainly validated your point of view. None of us knew who would win, but we had at least expected a result. We didn’t get one, at least not on caucus night. State Democratic party officials announced that due to “quality control” issues, release of the result would be indefinitely delayed. On a conference call with representatives of the candidates, party officials hung up the phone when asked when the totals would be released. So what do we...

Democratic hopeful Joe Biden slammed conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh as undeserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and criticized President Trump's motives for awarding it at the State of the Union on Tuesday night. Biden, speaking to CNN's Anderson Cooper at a town hall event in New Hampshire on Wednesday, said Trump's decision to award the highest civilian honor in the nation to Limbaugh was "driven more by trying to maintain [his] right-wing political credentials than it is anything else." The award was bestowed on Limbaugh just hours after he announced he is battling stage 4 lung cancer,...
