“Democrats want to move on from 2024. The Bidens won’t let them,” Politico reports. 

“Former first lady Jill Biden put a glaring spotlight back on the debate that ended her husband’s political career while promoting her new memoir. Former President Joe Biden is drawing attention again to his audio interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur as he sues the Justice Department to prevent their release.”

“And his scandal-ridden son Hunter Biden, whose past Republicans repeatedly weaponized on the campaign trail, is making headlines again — this time for appearing on a podcast with flame-throwing conspiracy theorist Candace Owens.”

President Trump commented on former first lady Jill Biden’s remarks that she feared her husband was having a stroke or was drugged during his 2024 debate with Trump.

Said Trump: “Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards.”

He added: “She said that she thought he was having a ‘stroke,’ and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do… The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse.”

Former first lady Jill Biden denied in a CBS News interview that she saw signs her husband Joe Biden was in cognitive decline when he was president.

Said Mrs. Biden: “He was the same, the essence of the same Joe Biden, but yeah, he was slowing down.”

Jill Biden has a book coming out next week but this is the last thing Democrats need in the headlines right now.

“Former President Joe Biden is suing the Justice Department to block the release of private audio recordings conducted while he was working with a memoir ghostwriter several years ago,” NOTUS reports.

Hunter Biden challenged Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. to a cage match, Reuters reports.

“It is unclear if or when this match would happen. ‌The ⁠White House plans to host a similar event — but with actual UFC fighters — on June 14 as part of a series of events celebrating the semiquincentennial of the United States.”

Former President Joe Biden and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently had lunch, MS NOW reports.

Rachel Bade: “Could Pelosi be doing a little preemptive damage control before the Biden books go to print?”

“Perhaps. She’d certainly be wise to smooth things over before the release date, given that she could undoubtedly play a starring role in the narrative. Once seen as a top Biden ally — singlehandedly muscling the ex-president’s signature legislative achievements through a narrow majority — Pelosi was later branded a traitor by some in Biden’s orbit for losing faith in his ability to run again.”

“Reports suggest Pelosi has long sought to clear the air with the former president. But until now, it sure seemed like the Bidens were giving her the cold shoulder.”

CNN: “A US Secret Service special agent on former first lady Jill Biden’s security detail accidentally shot their own leg at the Philadelphia International Airport Friday morning, an agency official said.”

“The Justice Department, in the wake of calls by President Trump to criminally investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., scrutinized whether Mr. Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents, but was ultimately unable to move forward with making a case,” the New York Times reports.

“The department’s failure to build a criminal case against Mr. Biden and his aides is the latest example of its increasing inability to follow through on Mr. Trump’s demands and bring indictments against those he wants to be criminally targeted. Some of those cases were rejected by grand juries, some were rejected by judges and some, like the autopen case, were abandoned by prosecutors.”

CNN: “The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.”

“There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ installed at the White House.”

“Biden knows that because of decisions he and close advisers made and the trends roiling the country and the world, he risks being forgotten for what he feels he accomplished as president and who he is as a man. He’s watching the attacks on democratic norms and the international order that he warned would come from Trump’s return — and registering the disgust directed his way that so many Democrats feel because they blame him for helping make that possible.”

“President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls,” Axios reports.

“One year in, Trump has squandered virtually every advantage that won him the presidency. The White House has nine months to turn the ship around before a potential midterm wipeout for Republicans.”

A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds 48% of respondents prefer Joe Biden’s tenure as president, while just 40% said Donald Trump is doing a better job.

President Trump mocked ex-President Joe Biden for only giving speeches that lasted “a matter of seconds” — except for one time where he claimed Biden was “high as a kite,” Mediaite reports.

Said Trump: “It would be very short —although the one time they had him spruced up pretty good, remember? he was high as a kite… He was floatin’ he was up there, way up.”

Hunter Biden estimated in a new interview that he is in debt to the tune of up to $15 million, and admitted that “I have no idea” how to pay that amount back, the New York Post reports.

Said Biden: “Nobody’s riding to the rescue for Hunter Biden. My dad, you know, entered the presidency as the poorest man to ever take the office. And he left the presidency as the, you know, not poorest, I mean, he’s fine, but he has no, we have no generational wealth.
