With the Bidens Determined to Stay in the Spotlight This Year, CNN Has Some Good News (for the GOP)

As you already know, former first lady Jill Biden is on a book tour trying to rewrite four years' worth of history involving her husband and the Democrats. Not only that, but Dr. Jill has been happy to talk about Hunter's one beautiful child (and not the other one apparently).

During a book event this week, Joe showed up and perhaps helped show why the Democrats thought it necessary to swap him out for Kamala Harris at the top of the 2024 ticket -- a move that was still a disaster:

"Could Joe Biden ever disgrace himself more thoroughly than he did on the CNN debate stage in 2024?" @AndrewStilesUSA asks in this week's Stiles Section.

And it gets even better:

Goldberg attempted to move things along, but Biden just stood there wagging his finger.

Eventually a crew member handed him a microphone so that Biden could announce that his own book is coming out in September—just in time for the midterm elections.

We can't help but wonder if the autopen is going to get one final moment of glory by writing Joe's book for him, because we're pretty sure who's not writing it.

Add it all up and the Republicans won't be complaining about the Bidens stealing some of the political spotlight as the midterms approach:

Americans have one message for the Bidens: Go away.

Joe Biden left office tremendously unpopular & remains so (-19 pt net favorable).

He's by far the least popular of any former Dem prez at this point after their presidency.
