Joe Biden suffered a series of political setbacks in the last week. His hopes of parading into Super Tuesday all refreshed and ready to go were dashed quickly.
His performance in the Michigan primary las week was marred by the “uncommitted” vote that took the air out of his campaign. This was followed by his ice cream craving-induced prediction of brokering a peace deal in the Middle East by Monday that melted like a scoop of Rocky Road on a hot day in July.
And to top off the turmoil, Biden’s Middle East policies caused problems for his wife, Jill, who was trying to rally voters for her hubby. Her campaign stop in the battleground state of Arizona was met with vocal attacks from pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
From the Washington Examiner:
“Jill, when are you and the president going to call for a ceasefire in Gaza?” one demonstrator shouted at the first lady Saturday in Tucson.Other attendees seemed to pull at the young woman before security eventually removed her from the premises.
This vocal opposition to Biden’s policies comes from the far-left side of the Democratic Party. Democrats are pitting themselves against each other as Biden tries to regain a national lead over former President Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee for the presidential election in November.
Joe Biden and his team, including his wife, have faced more pro-Palestinian opposition along the campaign trail. Demonstrators have called for a ceasefire and hostage exchange almost five months after Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attacks.
The fervor against Biden among radicals in his own party manifested last week when more than 100,000 Michigan Democrats opposed him in the state’s primary. The effort was organized by the large Arab and Muslim community in the state and primary voters marked themselves as “uncommitted” instead of supporting the president.
Biden has since pledged to work on a temporary cease fire to allow humanitarian aid to be delivered throughout the Gaza Strip. This includes air drops of food and supplies and getting Israel to open more land routes to allow aid to enter the area.
The president made his announcements and, in true Bumbling Biden fashion, referred to Ukraine and not Gaza when speaking to reporters in the Oval Office about the issue. The gaffe came as video of the president eating ice cream with another liberal celebrity went viral. He even let slip his cease fire intentions in between licks of an ice cream cone.
Jill Biden faced the anti-president Biden sentiment in Arizona as part of a four-state tour over the weekend. She also sought support for her ice cream-loving husband in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
Biden’s next heavily watched public appearance is the State of the Union address before Congress on Thursday. It might be worth watching to catch more Biden gaffes and see how the radical, pro-Palestinian members of Congress react to his Middle East plans.
Key Takeaways:
- Jill Biden was slammed by pro-Palestinian protestors during a campaign stop.
- The radical protest disrupted her event and called for a Middle East cease fire.
- The spectacle was another political blow to Joe Biden during his reelection bid.
