LaRosa says Dr. Biden is "changing her tune" about the 2024 debate to reshape public perception of her role.
Sportscaster Stephen A. Smith tore into former first lady Jill Biden for covering up for her husband while quietly thinking he had a stroke after his fumbling 2024 debate performance.
Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council director, caught heat from political analysts and observers after he made what some described as an "incredible" claim about the financial health of Americans during a Fox News interview. Hassett joined Fox News host Shannon Bream on "Fox News Sunday," where he was asked about a recent report finding that 13% of Americans had delinquent credit card balances, meaning their accounts had become past due. That figure was the highest since the 2008 financial crisis, Bream noted, which Hassett seemed to dismiss altogether in his response. "We talk to the CEOs of the credit card companies in the time, and we do see some stress like the Wall Street Journal pointed out," Hassett said. "But delinquency is different than default and there's not any kind of financial threat to the credit card companies. They don't feel like they're heading towards default scenarios. It's just that people are taking a little bit longer [to pay]."Hassett's claim was roundly criticized on social media. Jared Sears, a Navy veteran, wrote on X that Hassett's claim was "incredible.""Effectively sums up the administration's entire approach to governing: make sure the corporations and the rich are doing well, and forget about everyone else," Sears posted. "This has all the empathy of someone who learns that people are starving and instinctively calls General Mills to see if they're feeling an earnings pinch this quarter," Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) posted on X. "I do not advocate for political violence, but damn, it feels like Hassett has been trying his absolute hardest to become the most punchable member of the Trump administration," Hunter Gordon, a political candidate in Washington, posted on Bluesky. "Don’t worry if you’re struggling. The credit card companies will make sure to get their money from you regardless," Scott Imberman, an economics professor at Michigan State University, posted on Bluesky.

Democrats are apparently in no rush to defend embattled Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin. After the publication of an error-ridden 2024 election autopsy, a report that was supposed to explain why Democrats so dramatically underperformed that presidential cycle, the Washington Examiner reached out to more than 50 elected or formally elected party members last […]

Gov. Andy Beshear (D-Ky.) tells Meet the Press the Democratic party should be able to look at President Biden’s 2024 campaign as “a decision that should have been made differently.”
GOP strategist David Urban, who in 2016 served as President Donald Trump’s senior campaign adviser, issued his former boss a harsh warning on Sunday, cautioning the president that he may soon face a wave of congressional subpoenas if he doesn’t dramatically shift course ahead of the midterm elections.Appearing on CNN, Urban was responding to Trump’s remarks last week where he told reporters that he didn’t “care about the midterms” as it relates to his deeply unpopular war against Iran.“People are putting their hand in their pocket and pulling out a $20, they've got to pump their gas, get their kids a pizza – makes things much, much more difficult,” Urban said.“And so the president may care a great deal [about the midterms] when he comes back in January of next year because they're going to get nothing but subpoenas and subpoenas and subpoenas if the House does flip.”Democrats have already outlined their plans should they reclaim control of the House, plans that involve a wave of congressional subpoenas to be issued to everyone in Trump’s orbit, including White House ballroom donors, law firms that “signed deals” with the president, media giants that settled cases with Trump, and even the president's own family members.And, with analysts predicting a potentially historic loss for the GOP in November, Urban laid out what he argued were the two “giant problems” facing the White House.“Now toward the midterms, they have to pass a bunch of legislation. Part of that is the president's ballroom, they're looking for funding there, part of it is this compensation fund being all held up in the Senate,” Urban said. “I don't think that gets through, I don't think the House [or] Senate votes are there, Republicans are going to exact a pound of flesh on that. And then moving forward going to the midterms, it's very difficult. Republicans are structurally pushing a big rock up a hill because the party in power, traditionally, loses seats.”
