There's new reporting about Joe Biden, and it's not looking good from inside the campaign.
According to the report from NBC, Biden is "angry and anxious about his reelection effort."
Nearly 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials, and Biden allies, dished on his anger about Trump leading him in the polls.
When he found out that his numbers were dropping, he was "seething."
In a private meeting at the White House in January, allies of the president had just told him that his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia had dropped over his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas.
Both are battleground states he narrowly won four years ago, and he can’t afford any backsliding if he is to once again defeat Donald Trump. He began to shout and swear, a lawmaker familiar with the meeting said.
That's why he's now throwing Israel and Netanyahu under the bus, and doing all he can to try to appeal to the left to get them back into the fold.
The polls have left him frustrated and questioning the travel and communication strategies. The report claims he doesn't think he's getting enough credit for "an economy that created 15 million new jobs."
Maybe because he didn't do any such thing? Most of those were just people returning to work after the pandemic. Indeed, he has "created" some jobs -- he's made people have to get second jobs because of Bidenflation. That's the problem, he's not existing in reality, and the American people are so they're able to see past the Democratic propaganda.
According to the report, he's "chafed at restraints" and wants to get out more to meet people face to face, but is upset his people are trying to protect him and keep him from messing up.
Biden has even "directed his ire" at his senior staff. because he's irritated that the American public isn't accepting their propaganda.
But even some Democrats are losing patience with him.
Warning: coarse language
“Biden stood up in front of the whole world and said, ‘I’m ready. I’m the guy who can take down Donald Trump,’” said Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash. “So, he goddamn well better do it. We don’t have time for him to be worried about whether or not people are saying things right or the poll numbers are where they should be. I want focused energy and not defensive anger.”
But that's what you bought when you made the guy the nominee. We've been telling them, and Democrats just blew it off. Now it's all going to start crashing in on them, as the anger and confusion come out more and more.
Meanwhile, they appear to be confused as to what to do.
At times, Biden gets suggestions that conflict with one another. Some advisers have told him he should walk faster out of concern that his gait feeds impressions that he’s too old. And yet the White House is sufficiently worried about him tripping that he has taken to boarding Air Force One via a shorter staircase through the belly of the plane, forgoing the iconic image of the president waving from the main doorway high above the tarmac.

Privately, Biden questions whether he should trust his gut instincts over the guidance coming from the array of advisers tending to his political interests, this person added.
Some of his allies are suggesting that he "package his record as part of an American renaissance — a success story that is putting money into peoples’ pockets."
But he's already been doing that; it's one of the reasons he's losing because what he's saying to the people is so disconnected from reality. People know he's taking money out of their pockets with inflation.
History suggests it will be tough for him to recover. Biden’s 38 percent approval rating at this stage in the calendar is lower than that of George H.W. Bush (39 percent) and Jimmy Carter (43 percent) who went on to lose, according to Gallup survey data.
What's really funny about this is he's so mad that Trump is ahead of him, even with everything thrown at Trump. That's apparently infuriating to Biden. Biden and the Democrats are just clueless at this point. They're trying to throw anything up against the wall in the hope it sticks against Trump because they have such incredible chaos with Biden.
