The White House can’t hide how bad Biden has been as president. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see it.
And now Biden’s hilarious slip of the tongue has Democrats cringing with embarrassment.
President Joe Biden faced criticism on Thursday for claiming that “nine heads of state” approached him and told him that he just “had to win” the 2024 presidential race.
Noting that the forthcoming election is looking increasingly like a rematch between Biden and his 2020 opponent, former President Donald Trump, Biden claimed that those heads of state had told him that the states of their various democracies will be jeopardized “if the other guy wins.”

“As I walk out of meetings, a head of state will find an excuse to come up close … and say ‘you’ve got to win,’” Biden said at a recent fundraiser in San Francisco.
“Not because I’m so special. ‘You’ve got to win because my democracy is at stake if the other guy wins.’ Nine heads of state have done that with me,” Biden insisted.
Critics riffed on some of the president’s other recent assertions, such as seeing or speaking with heads of state who died before he took office in 2021.
“[I’m] gonna need to see a list because, no offense, this guy thinks its 1996,” Emily Zanotti posted.

“Living or dead?” Jay Caruso asked.
“Alternatively — (9) ‘heads of state’ have told #Biden they FEAR that they will be forced to live up to their long-established international obligations — that have been ignored — or pawned off onto America’s taxpayers,” another said.

“Biden says that nine heads of state say that he must win in November. Unfortunately, that probably includes Putin, Xi, Raisi, and Maduro,” another added.
A number of others emphasized that, in American elections, what the American people say is more important than what foreign heads of state say, regardless of how many of them speak.
But if Biden goes by the polls, the American people obviously don’t want him.
Even Democrats wish they had a different candidate.
