Donald Trump’s newest conspiracy concept has caught the eye of the White Home.
The previous president shared a cartoonishly unfounded prediction Tuesday on his Fact Social platform that President Joe Biden would possibly crash the upcoming Democratic Nationwide Conference — and reclaim the social gathering’s assist for a presidential nominee from Vice President Kamala Harris.
White Home press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was requested about Trump’s rant throughout Wednesday’s briefing.
“The former president has made this suggestion that the current president may still want to be the Democratic presidential nominee, put that out on social media,” mentioned Grey TV White Home correspondent Jon Decker. “Does the president —?”
Jean-Pierre’s involuntary response mentioned all of it — as she audibly chortled on the thought.
“I see your reaction, that’s why I wanted to ask you this: Does the president in any way lament his decision to drop out of the race?” Decker continued.
“The president is proud of his decision. He’s proud of his decision,” Jean-Pierre replied.
Biden exited after a sequence of public missteps sowed doubt in his capability to defeat Trump on the poll field a second time. He not solely carried out disastrously in his presidential debate with Trump in June, however had quite a lot of verbal gaffes at key occasions within the weeks after.

Regardless of Biden voluntarily dropping out of the competition, nonetheless, Trump is weirdly unconvinced.
In his impressively baseless rant, Trump claimed Biden “feels that he made a historically tragic mistake” by dropping out — and instructed that the probabilities he “CRASHES” the conference later this month “to take back the Nomination” are an precise concern.
However Biden hasn’t wavered.
“The first major decision a party nominee makes is their choice for vice president,” he mentioned Tuesday. “And Kamala Harris has made a great decision in choosing Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate. … The Harris-Walz ticket will be a powerful voice for working people.”
