Trouble in the West Wing?
President Biden popped into the White House press briefing on Friday for the first time of his presidency to warn Americans that the next month’s election may not be peaceful.
“I’m confident it will be free and fair. I don’t know whether it will be peaceful,” the 81-year-old Biden said in response to a question from National Public Radio’s Tamara Keith.
“The things that [former President Donald] Trump has said and the things that he said last time out when he didn’t like the outcome of the election were very dangerous,” Biden added.
“Have you noticed? I noticed that the vice presidential Republican candidate [Ohio Sen. JD Vance] did not say he’d accept the outcome of the election and hasn’t even accepted the outcome of the last election. So I’m concerned about what they’re going to do.”
Biden was also asked about the hurricane response and called Kamala a “major player in everything we’ve done … her staff is interlocked with mine.”
🚨 YIKES — Joe Biden throws Kamala Harris under the bus and says he is in "constant contact" with her.
"We're singing from the same song sheet. She helped pass all the laws [that resulted in record high inflation]. She's a major player in everything we've done."

Biden hit the briefing room at 2:06PM — just two minutes after Kamala Harris took the stage in Detroit for a campaign event. CNN noticed the awkward timing and called it out on air.
“We were actually about to go live to Vice President Kamala Harris who’s speaking right now in Detriot, Michigan … and yet you have the President of the United States coming out, clearly overshadowing her. Is that a communications mistake?” one anchor asked pollster Frank Luntz.
“That’s a very good point,” Luntz said. “If they were coordinated … this would not have happened.”
