‘It Doesn’t Make Any Sense!’ Democratic strategist James Carville was visibly frustrated about President Joe Biden’s struggles in an appearance on The Lead with Jake Tapper, telling the CNN anchor that he wasn’t even sure why the Democratic Party still existed if it wasn’t going to be responsive to what voters wanted. Carville, who had previously expressed misgivings about the party nominating Biden again because of his age, was even more adamant that Democrats should move on from the 81-year-old president after his disastrous debate performance last week. After being introduced by Tapper, Carville began by citing recent polling that said 72% of Americans did not believe Biden has the “mental and cognitive health to be president.”

‘Literally Allowing Him The Ability To Kill Someone!’

That means that the Georgia racketeering case is now delayed until at least October. You’ve got the Florida classified documents case that is indefinitely delayed, and now you’ve got this Scotus ruling that’s going to send it back to lower courts and be bogged down in appeals. So it looks like the former president for the next four months will be able to campaign freely, depending on what happens on that July 11th sentencing date for the New York criminal case.

‘Can Make’ It ‘Go Away’ Beyond that, though, it may just be a presumptive presumption of immunity. So here the headline former presidents are entitled to some immunity. The Trump team telling me this is, quote, ‘a major victory’ for the former president.

But Not Another President Enten: “Should Trump have criminal immunity for his official acts as president?” We’ve been looking at this polling over and over and over again, as this case has made its way up to the Supreme Court. And what we’ve consistently found is that “no” — “no” is in the majority here. Sixty percent of Americans say no, just 30 percent say “yes.” This is true basically across the entire political aisle. Only Republicans believe in the “yes” on this particular one. Although I will note, John, that in fact, if you take Trump’s [name] out of the equation, you just say, “Should a generic president have criminal immunity for his official acts as president?” Even in that particular case, Republicans say “no.” It’s just right here when you attach Trump’s name to it, of course, Republicans are going to jump over and say “yes.” Berman: Oh, that’s interesting. So this number is actually higher– Enten: Yes. Berman: With Trump in the equation. Enten: Correct. Because Republicans all of a sudden say, “Well, I have to take Trump’s side.” But if it were a generic president, they would jump over.

Dem Strategist Argues on NewsNation Replacing Biden with Gavin Newsom ‘Totally Feasible’ Months Out From Election

Bill Ackman, who was not a Trump supporter but now is on the Trump train, he did support Joe Biden financially, but he wrote this yesterday on X, formerly Twitter: “I no longer blame President Biden for not stepping aside. He no longer has the mental acuity to make important judgments about himself. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that the fault lies with the First Lady, Jill Biden.” And anger is growing at the First Lady because let’s face it — she’s with him everywhere. She knows when he goes, you know, sleepy time. She and White House aides have — and we’re hearing more and more about this — have, for the last three and a half years, essentially concealed the condition of the President of the United States. Which makes you wonder, and we have said this for years, who is putting this stuff in the teleprompter? Who is really the President of the United States? Because if she’s calling the shots, I don’t remember her name being on the ballot.

ABC News’s Senior White House Correspondent Selina Wang reported Monday on the reaction from the Biden 2024 campaign to the Supreme Court’s decision in Donald Trump’s immunity case. Wang noted that while the Supreme Court decided in Trump’s favor and gave the former president and all future presidents immunity for any official act made as president, the Biden campaign also has reason to celebrate. “For the Biden campaign, this case underscores the core theme of President Biden’s reelection. The stakes of this, their message that Trump is a threat to democracy, somebody who is obsessed with power. And in a statement that they just sent over, they said, look, today’s ruling does not change the facts,” Wang reported, adding: So let’s be very clear about what happened on January 6th. Donald Trump snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. Trump is already running for president as a convicted felon. Now, the campaign has also been warning that if Trump gets a second term, there will only be darker days ahead, that he will continue to try and shield himself from prosecution with. This campaign has been saying now for quite some time that Trump wants the power of a king or a monarch to have absolute power without accountability. So the Supreme Court decision today does not change their messaging on those points.

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell expressed alarm after Professor Laurence Tribe outlined the contours of the Supreme Court decision granting “absolute immunity” for official acts in a case against former President Donald Trump. At about 10:30 Monday morning, the Supreme Court released a 6-3 ruling granting “absolute immunity” in the “exercise of his core constitutional powers,” and other powers and restrictions. On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, Mitchell asked Tribe to game out a situation in which a president took a bribe — but Tribe took it to a place that Mitchell found “frightening”:

CBS’ Margaret Brennan cut off Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) after he attacked the media during an interview on Sunday. Speaking with the Ohio Senator and VP hopeful on Face the Nation, Brennan called out false claims made by former President Donald Trump during Thursday’s debate. “Mr. Trump falsely claimed states are passing legislation to execute babies,” Brennan said. “I think you know that killing people is illegal in every state. He falsely claimed that the Speaker of the House at the time turned down 10,000 soldiers that he had offered to keep the peace ahead of January 6 — something his own Acting Secretary of Defense testified to Congress did not happen. If he has such a strong platform, why make false claims?”

A prominent House Democrat told MSNBC there is a “serious conversation” ongoing among Democrats about replacing President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee. Appearing on MSNBC’s Velshi on Sunday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) revealed there are discussions taking place about the status of the presumptive Democratic nominee. “Obviously, there was a big problem with Joe Biden’s debate performance, and there is also just a tremendous reservoir of love for Joe Biden in our party,” Raskin said. “So this makes it a difficult situation for everybody, but there are very honest and serious and rigorous conversations happening at every level of our party, because it is a political party and we have differences in point of view.”

Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND) — a top contender to be selected as former President Donald Trump’s running mate — got NBC’s Kristen Welker to do a double take with a truly head-scratching comment Sunday. In a bizarre moment on Meet the Press, the North Dakota governor delivered an assessment about the transition of power following Trump’s first term that seemed completely detached from reality. “Donald Trump, at the end of his term on January 20th, left the White House,” Burgum said. “We had a smooth transition.”

President Joe Biden laughed and made the sign of the cross as rock legend Elton John blurted out a profane rallying cry against “misinformation” and “scapegoating” of LGBTQ+ people. The president continued a busy post-debate schedule by speaking at the Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center grand opening ceremony in New York City, site of the Stonewall Uprising. He introduced Elton John by noting his “dear friend” was a guest at the White House to receive As you can tell, I want to say a hell of a lot more, but I’m not going to — (laughter) — because I want to hear a guy you — you know, there’s a guy that you’ve probably heard about. He’s a dear friend. A guy’s, like so many Americans, whose family loves this iconic music — my family loves it. And, of course, his incredible music career. He also empowered countless people to be themselves, to be treated with dignity and respect they deserve, including those in the fight against HIV/A- — H- — HIV/AIDS, a fight he led with sheer willpower. Two years ago, Jill and I had the honor to host him in the White House and bestow on him the National Humanitarian Med- — Humanities Medal, one of America’s highest awards. So, today, we’re honored to be with him again here at Stonewall. Please welcome Elton John.

Former MSNBC host and current Zeteo News chief Mehdi Hasan ripped CNN’s debate moderators for not pushing ex-President Donald Trump hard enough or quickly enough — but Pod Save co-hosts pushed back. The big story to emerge from CNN’s debate Thursday night was the panic after deadly early stumbles from President Joe Biden set the tone for debate coverage — though his performance improved as the debate went on. Brutal quotes from some Democrats and calls for Biden to drop out from his supporters in the media ensued.

A former official in President Joe Biden’s White House sounded off after an ex-colleague went to bat for the commander-in-chief on CNN. In a scathing post on X/Twitter, Michael LaRosa — former press secretary to the First Lady — raged in response to comments from former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield on CNN’s State of the Union. Appearing on a panel Sunday, Bedingfield argued that despite Biden’s debate performance, status quo has maintained in the presidential race. “I think the reality is the race has not fundamentally changed,” Bedingfield said “I think there’s universal agreement [it] wasn’t a great night for Joe Biden. He said as much. But what we see in all the data that has emerged since Thursday is the fundamental, head to head hasn’t shifted. People are not suddenly moving to Trump.”

Steve Bannon, the former top aide to ex-President Donald Trump who is set to begin a four-month prison sentence on Monday for defying a Congressional subpoena, participated in a wild interview ahead of his incarceration with ABC’s Jon Karl. Speaking with the War Room podcast host Friday in an interview which aired Sunday on ABC’s This Week, Karl grilled Bannon about his repeated threats of retribution against Trump’s enemies. In particular, Bannon focused on the past two Attorneys General — Merrick Garland and Bill Barr, the latter of whom was appointed by Trump. KARL: you made a promise on your shows, you said that the Attorney General will be in prison. BANNON: 100% KARL: So you’re not just talking about investigations. Is Bill Barr on the retribution list? BANNON: I think Bill Barr has to be investigated, not retribution. You keep talking retribution, no– KARL: Because Trump says retribution, you said retribution BANNON: It’s justice, it’s justice. KARL: So, Bill Barr needs to be investigated. Bill Barr, Bill Barr needs to go prison with Merrick Garland? BANNON: I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that. We have to see. I’m not gonna prejudge somebody. We have to see- KARL: So Bill Barr could be going to prison? As part of retribution – BANNON: That’s not retribution. It’s justice.

During Friday’s edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC, Joy Reid offered a metaphor for voting in the 2024 election that likened casting a ballot for Donald Trump to eating shit. Reid and other hosts on the network addressed the ongoing fallout from President Joe Biden’s putrid debate performance on Thursday night. A raspy Biden frequently struggled to express his thoughts while at point announcing, “We finally beat Medicare.” The president’s showing was so bad that MSNBC’s post-debate coverage involved detailed discussions about Biden possibly being replaced. On Friday, the New York Times even called for him to drop out of the race.

‘That’s Mrs. Goebbels In The Bunker!’ Comic and pundit Bill Maher compared the 33% who claimed President Joe Biden won the debate to MAGA nation, birthers, and “Mrs. Goebbels in the bunker” on Friday, saying again that Biden will lose to Donald Trump in November. On the latest edition of HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher the host was joined by former Democratic presidential candidate turned Trump supporter Tulsi Gabbard and former MSNBC host and Democratic commentator Chris Matthews to cover the election and the CNN debate between Biden and Trump. Maher went right to the debate with his panel guests, and after some opening discussion about the president’s poorly-rated performance, and mentioning the New York Times saying he should drop out, Maher got agreement from Matthews that another candidate could galvanize the Democratic party ahead of the election.

Fox News host Pete Hegseth accused First Lady Jill Biden of “elder abuse” after President Joe Biden sparked concerns about his well-being in the media and politics after his poor debate performance against Donald Trump. ON Friday’s The Ingraham Angle on Fox News Channel, Hegseth spoke with Brian Kilmeade, in for Laura Ingraham, about the First Lady and others in Biden’s inner circle, whom they characterized as propping up, leading, or even acting in a presidential capacity in place of Biden. The two agreed that “the signal” went out this week in the press that they are now allowed to write about “the obvious” with regard to the president’s health, and then Hegseth turned to the First Lady and Biden’s inner circle.
