Biden's own voters face reality after debate, call on him to drop out of election: 'It's embarrassing for the country'



Battleground-state voters are abandoning President Joe Biden in droves.

On Independence Day, the New York Times spoke with 80 voters in multiple swing states — Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina — who supported Biden in 2020.

'It would be ideal to have someone more coherent and involved, and there.'

But times have changed. Now, more than half of those Biden supporters want the president to drop out of the 2024 presidential contest. Only one-quarter of them, on the other hand, want Biden to continue running. The rest were undecided, according to the Times.

"He should exit the race. The sooner the better. He doesn’t meet the criteria for having the most important job in the world," said 72-year-old Gerry Ford from Wisconsin.

Ford said Biden's disastrous debate performance fulfilled "all of our suspicions about politicians that they can't be straight with voters."

"It's embarrassing for the country," he added.

Jeanne Winograd, a 72-year-old Democrat from Arizona, told the Times that she sent Biden a card in February praising his vigor. But the debate transformed her view of the 81-year-old commander in chief.

"I just love Biden, but he's frail. Pass the baton," Winograd said.

Other voters told the Times:

  • Raja Seshadri of North Carolina: "We can't agree on a way ahead, we can't agree on what to do about the current situation. ... We're going to lose."
  • Elaine Becherer of Arizona: "It is disgraceful they've allowed him to get here and all of us to be here."
  • Greg Holmes of Michigan: "If Biden says and does what I call the right thing, or courageous thing, and passes the baton, I will be ecstatic and fired up for the next person."
  • Michael John of Arizona: "It would be ideal to have someone more coherent and involved, and there."

Overall, the voters, according to the Times, "felt frustrated and betrayed" by the Democratic Party. That's because party leaders refused to hold an open primary — and now they're paying the price for their non-democratic system.

The sentiment matches what post-debate polls have shown.

Leaked Democratic internal polling, for example, showed that Biden lost about 2% of overall support in each of the four states where the New York Times conducted interviews. That is a significant drop that could easily make the difference on Election Day.

Despite weary voters and worsening polling, Biden is adamant that he is staying in the race.

Biden voters tell CBS reporter they're ready to support Trump after he makes unique tax proposal: 'Would change their vote'



A CBS News reporter spoke to a group of swing-state Biden voters who may be persuaded to support Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

While speaking at a campaign rally in Nevada on Sunday, Trump promised supporters that one of the first things he will do if he wins re-election is eliminate the taxation of tips.

'That is enough to make them switch from voting Democrat to Republican if Donald Trump is promising something like that to them.'

"For those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy. Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips," Trump said. "We're not going to do it, and we're going to do that right away, first thing in office because it's been a point of contention for years and years and years. And you do a great job of service, you take care of people, and I think it's going to be something that really is deserved."

The proposal is red meat in Nevada because "hospitality and leisure" workers comprise 23% of the state's workforce. Each of those roughly 361,000 people would greatly benefit if the Internal Revenue Service stopped collecting taxes on tips.

It turns out the policy would also benefit Trump.

On Monday, CBS News reporter Olivia Rinaldi said she talked to a group of service workers who confirmed they would change their vote to Trump because of his promise.

"I did talk with some hotel workers yesterday, some service workers here in Las Vegas about how that is playing with them," Rinaldi reported.

"And about six people told me that would change their vote," she revealed. "That is enough to make them switch from voting Democrat to Republican if Donald Trump is promising something like that to them."

Ending the taxation of tips requires congressional authorization because the IRS currently views cash and non-cash tips as taxable income.

However, making the change is not out of the realm of possibility.

If Trump wins the White House and Republicans retake control of the Senate and retain control of the House, they could pass new tax reforms that include the elimination of tip taxation.

Considering that employers in most states are allowed to pay tipped employees a significantly lower wage than non-tipped employees, the policy would likely receive widespread support.

Things get awkward when ABC host asks Biden voter what she likes about Biden — it takes 10 seconds for an answer



ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz received an awkward 10-second silence when she recently asked one young liberal voter why she is excited to vote for President Joe Biden in 2024.

After Biden announced his re-election campaign last week, Raddatz traveled to Pennsylvania — Biden's home state, which was critical to his election victory in 2020 — to gauge voter sentiment about Biden's re-election campaign. And what Raddatz discovered is not good for Biden.

Temple University student Elaina Symes, for example, cast her 2020 ballot for Biden. But when asked if she is enthusiastic to support him again, Symes admitted, "Not particularly."

But even more telling was Symes' response when Raddatz asked her what she likes about Biden. It took Symes 10 seconds to come up with an answer. Finally, she said she is only excited about Biden's candidacy for one reason: "That he's not Trump."

According to Raddatz, younger voters repeatedly expressed "disappointment and frustration" about Biden's campaign. They said he is too old, not progressive enough, and has not really accomplished anything as president. Thus, as Raddatz explained, there is an "enthusiasm gap" for Biden's campaign.

"I feel so uninspired and disconnected from the work that he's been advancing that it's not something I'm really excited about," voter Soneyet Muhammad, who voted for Biden in 2020, told Raddatz.

The reactions are perhaps not surprising given what polls have been showing for months.

A new NBC News poll, for example, showed last week that an overwhelming 70% of Americans — including 51% of Democratic voters — don't want Biden to run for re-election. Donald Trump fared only slightly better in that poll; 60% of respondents said they didn't want him to run again, either.

Another poll released by CNN last month showed similar results. It found that 67% of American voters do not believe Biden deserves re-election.

Ammo producer to Biden voters: 'We don't want your money'



Fenix Ammunition, a Michigan-based ammo manufacturer, decided recently to stop selling its product to people who voted for President Joe Biden.

As a way to weed out the unwanted customers, the company reportedly inserted a questionnaire into its purchasing process that asks whether prospective customers voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election. If they did, it's no sale for them.

In a series of tweets posted this week, Fenix Ammunition explained that while it is perfectly willing to engage in a discussion with Biden voters, the company does not plan to conduct business with them.

"Yes we are serious," the company said in response to questions about the policy. "Joe Biden ran on a campaign built on the most radical gun control platform a major party candidate has ever had, including banning the online sale of ammunition. Essentially, a plan to bankrupt our company."

Sure enough, according to Biden's campaign website, the president has pledged to "enact legislation to prohibit all online sales of firearms, ammunition, kits, and gun parts."

"Are you really willing to walk away from a paying customer simply because they voted for Joe Biden?" the company asked rhetorically. "Yes, yes we are. We're dead serious."

"We don't want your money, and you shouldn't want us to have it because we're going to use it to make more ammo, sell it to the citizenry, and do everything in our power to prevent Joe Biden's administration from usurping the rights of Americans," the company wrote.

Fenix Ammunition is not the first company to exclude Biden supporters from purchasing its product.

On Inauguration Day, a gun store in Missouri called Trigger Firearms and Reloading posted an announcement on Facebook saying, "We don't have guns or ammo for Biden supporters. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Meanwhile, guns and ammunition sales have continued to skyrocket after a record-breaking year for the industry. Last August, news broke that gun sales had already topped 2019 levels with four months still remaining in the year. By the close of 2020, it was estimated that a record 23 million firearms had been sold, which is by far the most ever recorded.

With the surge of gun sales, ammunition retailers reportedly started running out of stock.

So as far as Fenix Ammunition sees it, with products flying off the shelf already, they don't need Biden-supporting customers in order to survive.

'You are no longer my mother': Families say relatives are dead to them if they vote wrong



The 2020 presidential election is tearing American families apart, according to a Reuters report.

What are the details?

Reuters spoke with a variety of U.S. voters across the country who all admitted to being a part of the same movement: shunning — or being shunned by — family members for differing political viewpoints.

One woman the news organization spoke to is 41-year-old Milwaukee resident Mayra Gomez. She said she told her 21-year-old son that she planned on voting for President Donald Trump in the forthcoming presidential election. Her choice was apparently the wrong one — at least according to the unnamed Millennial.

"He specifically told me 'You are no longer my mother, because you are voting for Trump,'" she recalled him telling her. "The damage is done. In people's minds, Trump is a monster. It's sad. There are people not talking to me anymore, and I'm not sure that will change."

Gomez's story is a familiar one.

Gayle McCormick, a 77-year-old Democratic voter, said that she separated from her 81-year-old husband after he voted for Trump in 2016.

"I think the legacy of Trump is going to take a long time to recover from," McCormick said. She also revealed that two of her grandchildren no longer speak with her because she supported former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election cycle.

Rosanna Guadagno, a 49-year-old Democrat, said that her brother shunned her after she reportedly refused to support the president's 2016 presidential bid and even allegedly went so far as to intentionally exclude her from their mother's funeral.

Dave Wallace, a 65-year-old Pennsylvania Republican and staunch Trump supporter, said that his support for the president has put strain on his family.

"The hatred for Trump among Democrats, it's just amazing to me," Wallace told the news organization. "I think it's just Trump, the way he makes people feel. I do think the angst will decrease when we're back to a normal politician who doesn't piss people off."

Voter Bonnie Coughlin, 65 — who voted for a third-party candidate in 2016 — said that she is voting for former Vice President Joe Biden this year and that she looks at Trump-supporting family and friends "differently" because "they have willingly embraced someone who is so heartless and just shows no empathy to anyone in any circumstances."

She added, "And if Biden wins, I don't think they will go quietly into the night and accept it."

Jacqueline Hammond, a 47-year-old North Carolina resident, said that she no longer speaks to her Trump-supporting mother and has even reportedly gone as far as to tell her son to stay away from Grandma, too.

"Trump is like the catalyst of an earthquake that just divided two continents of thought," she insisted. "Once the Earth divides like that, there's no going back. This is a marked time in our history where people had to jump from one side to the other. And depending on what side you choose, that is going to be the trajectory for the rest of your life."

What else?

Jamie Saal, psychotherapist at the Rochester Center for Behavior Medicine in Rochester Hills, Michigan, told the outlet, "Unfortunately, I don't think national healing is as easy as changing the president. It takes time and it takes effort, and it takes both parties — no pun intended — being willing to let go and move forward."

Reuters also reported that at least one non-partisan poll found that a vast majority of voters had few or no friends who had opposite political affiliations.

A September report from the Pew Research center found that nearly 80% of Trump and Biden supporters insisted they "had few or no friends who supported the other candidate."

In January, Gallup reported that President Donald Trump's third year in office "set a new record for party polarization."

"While 89% of Republicans approved of Trump's performance in office in 2019, only 7% of Democrats thought he was doing a good job," the outlet noted.
