It’s apparent now that he’s considered expendable.<\/p>\n
Observation O’ The Day All polling points to Biden\u2019s majorities in the House and Senate being wiped out come the November midterm elections. When that happens, and I mean the very next day, these innuendos and grumblings for Biden to step aside will become full-bore primal screams, and he won\u2019t be able to survive them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n -Stephen L. Miller<\/p>\n CNN Crushes President Joe Biden With Fact Check<\/a>.<\/p>\n It may not be something that CNN watchers are used to seeing, but President Joe Biden got hammered by a fact check from the network.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cGas prices weren\u2019t over $5 when Biden took office. The Social Security hike isn\u2019t a Biden achievement. The Trump tax cut didn\u2019t \u2018only\u2019 go to the top 1%. Biden didn\u2019t cut the debt in half. Biden didn\u2019t get Congress to pass a law to forgive student debt,\u201d CNN fact checker Daniel Dale said.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe unemployment rate. Biden said at the Florida rally on Tuesday: \u2018Unemployment is down from 6.5 to 3.5%, the lowest in 50 years.\u2019 He said at the New Mexico rally on Thursday: \u2018Unemployment rate is 3.5% \u2013 the lowest it\u2019s been in 50 years.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Biden didn\u2019t acknowledge that September\u2019s 3.5% unemployment rate was actually a tie for the lowest in 50 years \u2013 a tie, specifically, with three months of Trump\u2019s administration, in late 2019 and early 2020,\u201d the fact checker said.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSince Biden uses these campaign speeches to favorably compare his own record to Trump\u2019s record, that omission is significant.<\/p>\n \u201cThe unemployment rate rose to 3.7% in October; that number was revealed on Friday, after these Biden comments. The rate was 6.4% in January 2021, the month Biden took office,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Biden\u2019s student debt policy<\/p>\n \u201cDuring an on-camera discussion conducted by progressive organization NowThis News and published online in late October, Biden told young activists that they \u2018probably are aware, I just signed a law\u2019 on student debt forgiveness that is being challenged by Republicans.<\/p>\n \u201cHe added: \u2018It\u2019s passed. I got it passed by a vote or two, and it\u2019s in effect.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBiden\u2019s claims are false,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe created his student debt forgiveness initiative through executive action, not through legislation, so he didn\u2019t sign a law and didn\u2019t get it passed by any margin.<\/p>\n \u201cSince Republicans opposed to the initiative, including those challenging the initiative in court, have called it unlawful precisely because it wasn\u2019t passed by Congress, the distinction between a law and an executive action is a highly pertinent fact here,\u201d the fact checker said.<\/p>\n \u201cA White House official told CNN that Biden was referring to the Inflation Reduction Act, the law narrowly passed by the Senate in August; the official said the Inflation Reduction Act created \u201croom for other crucial programs\u201d by bringing down the deficit. But Biden certainly did not make it clear that he was talking about anything other than the student debt initiative\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Gas prices<\/p>\n \u201cBiden correctly noted on various occasions in October that gas prices have declined substantially since their June 2022 peak \u2013 though, as always, it\u2019s important to note that presidents have a limited impact on gas prices.<\/p>\n \u201cBut in an economic speech in New York last week, Biden said, \u2018Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 \u2013 down from over $5 when I took office.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBiden\u2019s claim that the most common gas price when he took office was more than $5 is not even close to accurate,\u201d the fact checker said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most common price for a gallon of regular gas on the day he was inaugurated, January 20, 2021, was $2.39, according to data provided to CNN by Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.<\/p>\n \u201cIn other words, Biden made it sound like gas prices had fallen significantly during his presidency when they had actually increased significantly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIn other recent remarks, Biden has discussed the state of gas prices in relation to the summer peak of more than $5 per gallon, not in relation to when he took office.<\/p>\n \u201cRegardless, the comment last week was the second this fall in which Biden inaccurately described the price of gas \u2013 both times in a way that made it sound more impressive,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n But the president may be getting desperate as on Saturday, polling analysis publication FiveThirtyEight changed its Senate forecast from a \u201ctoss-up\u201d to leaning Republican, Newsmax reported.<\/p>\n At president, the analyst firm lists Republican chances of winning the Senate at 55 in 100 versus Democrats retaining control at 45 in 100.<\/p>\n The new predictions come after the outlet reported on Monday: \u201cHerschel Walker\u2019s scandals may hurt his chances against Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock. Meanwhile, Democrats are hoping to pick up a seat in Pennsylvania, but that race has gotten a lot tighter recently.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOther Senate races are competitive but have identifiable favorites. For instance, strong Democratic incumbents currently have an edge in Arizona and New Hampshire. And the Senate races in North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin are also close but will likely result in Republican winners,\u201d the outlet also added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s apparent now that he’s considered expendable.
