The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:

6:05pm- Following President Joe Biden’s “big boy” press conference on Thursday, former Obama strategist David Axelrod said it’s time for the Biden campaign team to have “tough conversations” with the president about withdrawing.

6:10pm- Biden’s Fundraising Disaster: Shane Goldmacher, Nicholas Nehamas, and Chris Cameron of The New York Times report that “some major Democratic donors telling the largest pro-Biden super PAC that they were freezing roughly $90 million in pledged donations. The contributions to Future Forward will remain frozen as long as President Biden is atop the ticket, according to two people briefed on the conversations who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation.” You can read the full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07/12/us/biden-trump-election?smid=url-share#after-a-high-profile-news-conference-biden-heads-to-michigan-heres-the-latest

6:15pm- After President Joe Biden’s Thursday press conference, Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT) said he believes Biden will not only lose his own race but will cause Democrats to lose the House and Senate as well. But don’t worry, 85-year-old Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is still supporting Biden’s campaign!

6:30pm- In an editorial for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Major General Timothy Brennan writes: “Waverly B. Woodson Jr. treated 200 casualties on Omaha Beach. Segregation and racism largely prevented him from being honored. On Friday, a street in his old neighborhood is being renamed for him.” You can read the full article here: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/waverly-woodson-d-day-hero-west-philadelphia-street-renaming-20240712.html

6:40pm- On Thursday night President Joe Biden took part in what the White House repeatedly referred to as a “big boy” press conference—during which he mistakenly referred to Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” While answering questions from the press, Biden dismissed claims that he is not mentally or physically fit to run for office and insisted that he will remain that Democrat Party’s candidate for president—though, as Rich points out, Biden notably conceded that he believes there are several other party members capable of defeating presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup.
