The Last Four Days for Joe Biden Were Even Worse Than We Thought – Opinion

Yesterday, we reported on President Joe Biden’s visibly upset appearance as he talked to reporters after a closed door meeting with Senate Democrats. Shortly after, Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema took the Senate floor to give an unplanned speech in which she reiterated her support for the preservation of filibuster.

Between Sinema’s speech and fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin twisting the knife a little bit more after yesterday’s unproductive meeting, it appears that Biden’s hopes for any sort of “deal” on making changes to the Senate rules on the filibuster, which would allow for his radical plan to federalize elections to go forth, are now circling the drains, much like his plummeting approval ratings.

There were signs of defeat. Gone was the “we will get this done” attitude we’ve heard and seen from him in the past. In its place was a dejected Biden, who acknowledged that he didn’t know if “we can get it done.”

But though the look on his face and tone of his voice clearly showed that the last 48 hours since his divisive speech had been devastating for him politically, the reality of it was that Biden had not just had a bad 48 hours; his last four days, in fact, were brutal for him on a number of fronts – including on the issue of Vice President Harris and her recent disastrous “Today Show” interview.

Fox News Special Report host Bret Baier explained it all in a line by line “hits keep coming” rundown on the wave of bad news for the Biden administration during his program last night that read off like Santa’s naughty list:

CNN of all places filed a similar report, calling Biden’s week the “Week from Hell.”

Something mentioned in Baier’s report but which is also definitely worth emphasizing in this story are the continued woes of grocery stores across the country, as photos of empty shelves continue to be shared rapid-fire on social media, prompting #BareShelvesBiden to trend at times throughout the week though Biden declared in mid-December that “The much-predicted [supply chain] crisis didn’t occur. Gifts and packages are on the move. Shelves are not empty”:

Team Biden is also showing signs that things are not going well. Biden appears agitated and Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, seems extra salty during media briefings. Jen Psaki has done this several times in the past week.

They don’t have their act together, have lost the plot – and it shows.

Unfortunately, the American people continue to pay the price for this administration’s catastrophic policies and blunders. But hopefully not for too much longer, if what’s being predicted about the midterm elections is any indication.

We cannot wait for November 2022.
