Seething Biden Shouts and Swears After Realizing He's Backsliding in Swing States: Report


President Joe Biden is furious with his staff after learning how he is being destroyed in the polls.

The president yelled and used curse words with his staff after discovering that his poll numbers were falling, NBC News reported.

“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,” the report said.

“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.

“He believed he had been doing what was right, despite the political fallout, he told the group, according to the lawmaker,” it said.

The president’s approval rating of 38 percent are lower than those of the previous three presidents when they were defeated in their re-election campaigns. Namely former Presidents Donald Trump 48%, George H.W. Bush 39%, and Jimmy Carter 43%.

Some Democrats are frustrated with the president, too.

“Biden stood up in front of the whole world and said, ‘I’m ready. I’m the guy who can take down Donald Trump,’” Washington Democrat Rep. Adam Smith said. “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.”

The president has been visiting states where his numbers are dipping and his plan is to continue to do that.

Since his State of the Union address, he has visited Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania and is headed to Nevada and Arizona.

“The president and his advisers have all been eager for him to be out there more and planned for that to take place at the start of the election year, as has been the norm for past incumbents seeking re-election,” a source said.
