“It’s a specific decision, and I just think it’s crass,” Biden said.
“I’m running against Donald Trump, not his children, and the American people want to hear about their families, not about Trump’s family or my family, although I’m very proud of my family. It’s just not how I was raised. It’s that basic. It’s Donald Trump.”
Emails reportedly belonging to Hunter were published by The New York Post in a report that was controversially silenced on social media. As The Inquisitr reported, Biden’s campaign has refused to say whether the emails belong to the Democrat’s son, who worked at the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma while Biden was vice president. The former Obama administration official is being accused of being engaged in shady business deals involving him and his son.

“The Hunter Biden attacks just aren’t landing. Rare misfire by the traditionally well oiled right-wing propaganda machine. Enormously convoluted and niche… It just has no punch in the middle of an economic depression and deadly pandemic.”
Biden and other Democrats have claimed that the head of state’s attacks on Hunter are tantamount to Russian disinformation. According to Biden, he nor Hunter engaged in any unethical activity during his time as vice president.

During a Saturday campaign event in Bristol , Pennsylvania , Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was captured wandering behind his wife , Jill , as she gave a speech to supporters .
The clip was uploaded to Donald Trump ’ s YouTube account and provided fodder for the president ’ s backers to question the former vice president ’ s fitness for the presidency .

“ The way she ignores the fact that he is acting weird , ” another said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I do when I ’ m not sure what my wife wants me to do next so I just kinda wonder about aimlessly , ” another joked .
During the video , Biden ’ s wife asks riles up supporters and asks them if they will support her husband and his running mate , California Sen. Kamala Harris , in the forthcoming election .
It ’ s not the first time Biden has appeared to wander aimlessly during a live event .
As reported by The New York Post , his first virtual @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mistakes and glitches .
At one point , the Democrat wandered off camera as viewers watched from home .
Although the event was intended to allow Democratic voters to engage with the party ’ s nominee , the publication noted that it ran for just “ four buggy minutes.
” “ I ’ m sorry this is such a disjointed effort here , ” Biden apologized at the end of the stream .
The push to cast Biden as suffering from cognitive decline or suffering from senility was a strong focus of Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted by Jonathan Chait in New York Magazine , the strategy appears to have disappeared after the debates .
Fox News host Tucker Carlson notably claimed that Biden appeared like a stable alternative to Trump at the first debate and suggested that the president ’ s strategy to paint him as mentally unfit might have backfired .
Before the debate , Mike McCormick , a former White House stenographer who worked with Biden from 2011 to 2017 , claimed that the presidential candidate had lost a step .
He compared Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cognitive state in 2017 and suggested there was a significant decline in his mental acuity compared to four years ago .
But McCormick also noted that Biden has always had a tendency to ramble , which landed him in an awkward situation when then-Prime Minister of Russia , Vladimir Putin , cut his microphone during a press conference .

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican lawmakers ’ refusal to pass a second coronavirus relief bill , which would ensure funding gets into the hands of Americans who continue to struggle amid the pandemic .
According to Walther , a Joe Biden presidency means that the Republican Party ’ s strategy would echo its approach during Barack Obama ’ s administration — take aim at socialism and focus on regaining power over the House of Representatives .
In the case that Donald Trump pulls off an electoral win , Walther argued that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for its purported disloyalty .
Per New York Magazine , GOP opposition to a relief package before the election is rooted in the purported reality that the majority of Senate Republicans don ’ t face the risk of losing their seats to a Democrat and view their primary challenge as the most significant threat to their power .
The publication noted that the median American state is 6.6 percent more Republican than the country as a whole and highlighted that conservative media is portraying support for bailing out Democrat states as a betrayal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Nevertheless , USA Today reported that McConnell and some Republican Senators had distanced themselves from Trump .
The publication noted that people close to the lawmaker claim he believes the Senate is a “ last line of defense ” against a Biden presidency .

The president insisted that America is “ rounding the turn ” on coronavirus , despite the fact that there has been an enormous surge in infections .

In an interview with Yahoo News published on Friday , pollster Robert Cahaly , the head of the Georgia-based Trafalgar Group , made a bold prediction about the 2020 presidential election .
In 2016 , the Trafalgar Group was one of the few organizations to correctly predict President Donald Trump ’ s upset victory over then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton .
Defying industry consensus , Cahaly said that the Republican candidate would win the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania , and turned out to be right .
Unlike virtually all other polling agencies , Cahaly takes social pressure into account .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ a way to account for voters ’ apparent reluctance to express support for controversial , polarizing politicians like Trump .
Four years ago , Cahaly pointed out , prominent political figures attacked not only Trump , but also his supporters .
Notably , Clinton described Trump supporters as “ deplorable.
” “ It was beyond what we ’ d seen in the past .
If you supported him , you were everything they were accusing him of being .
There was a shaming of his supporters , ” Cahaly explained , suggesting that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ resulted in social pressure , which , in turn , made voters reluctant to publicly voice their support for the controversial candidate .
According to Cahaly , Trump is being underestimated again .
Unlike the president , Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is not considered a controversial , polarizing candidate , which is why there is no hidden Biden vote , the pollster said .
“ No one looks at you and says you are so-and-so for supporting Biden , ” he explained .
Cahaly asserted that “ shy ” Trump voters will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to victory .
The race , he predicted , will come down to two key states , and Trump will win both .
In Michigan , the pollster explained , Trump has made inroads with the Black community , largely thanks to Republican John James ’ Senate candidacy .
Biden , meanwhile , has not exactly benefited from his association with Gov .
Gretchen Whitmer , who has been criticized for imposing restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic .
Cahaly added that Trump will “ probably ” carry the Keystone State , even though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advantage .
He said that many in the state are still reluctant to express support for the president , which is why he expects him to “ out-perform our polls.
” Public polling suggests that Biden is a strong favorite to win the presidency .
According to the RealClearPolitics average of polling data , the Democrat is ahead in the battleground states of Wisconsin , Arizona , North Carolina , Michigan , Pennsylvania and Florida .

In an interview with Yahoo News published on Friday, pollster Robert Cahaly, the head of the Georgia-based Trafalgar Group, made a bold prediction about the 2020 presidential election.
In 2016, the Trafalgar Group was one of the few organizations to correctly predict President Donald Trump’s upset victory over then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Defying industry consensus, Cahaly said that the Republican candidate would win the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania, and turned out to be right.
Unlike virtually all other polling agencies, Cahaly takes social pressure into account. Meaning, its models are designed in a way to account for voters’ apparent reluctance to express support for controversial, polarizing politicians like Trump.
“The social desirability bias is a theory that’s been around for a long time. It is that, especially when dealing with a live caller, the person being asked the questions will craft their answer in a way that puts them in the best light to the person asking the question.”
Four years ago, Cahaly pointed out, prominent political figures attacked not only Trump, but also his supporters. Notably, Clinton described Trump supporters as “deplorable.”
“It was beyond what we’d seen in the past. If you supported him, you were everything they were accusing him of being. There was a shaming of his supporters,” Cahaly explained, suggesting that public shaming of those supportive of Trump resulted in social pressure, which, in turn, made voters reluctant to publicly voice their support for the controversial candidate.
According to Cahaly, Trump is being underestimated again. Unlike the president, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is not considered a controversial, polarizing candidate, which is why there is no hidden Biden vote, the pollster said.
“No one looks at you and says you are so-and-so for supporting Biden,” he explained.
Cahaly asserted that “shy” Trump voters will, once again, propel the president to victory. The race, he predicted, will come down to two key states, and Trump will win both.
In Michigan, the pollster explained, Trump has made inroads with the Black community, largely thanks to Republican John James’ Senate candidacy. Biden, meanwhile, has not exactly benefited from his association with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has been criticized for imposing restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Cahaly added that Trump will “probably” carry the Keystone State, even though his own polls give Biden a one-point advantage. He said that many in the state are still reluctant to express support for the president, which is why he expects him to “out-perform our polls.”
Public polling suggests that Biden is a strong favorite to win the presidency. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polling data, the Democrat is ahead in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Florida.
Cahaly has previously made similar predictions.

The first quote showed the president saying that the pandemic is under control in January, along with a tweet saying that China has been working hard to contain the disease.
As one proceeds through the website, additional quotes showing Trump admitting that he knew how deadly the disease could be in private while playing it down in public are included. His statement from April where he suggested that one could inject disinfectant as a way to clean the body is also included.
Another section shows him denying any responsibility for the spread of the coronavirus and, most recently, saying the U.S. is getting to the point where the disease is fading away.
Along the way, the graph shows the increasing number of deaths of Americans throughout the past year.
Experts say that the U.S. is entering a second wave of the virus, with more than 220,000 people killed by the virus nationwide.
On Friday, the nation hit the highest number of new cases in one day, as The Inquisitr previously reported. Over 82,000 new infections were reported, which is 6,000 higher than any other day, and experts say that number could continue to climb as the winter and cold weather makes social distancing more difficult.

“Graham has betrayed President Trump at almost every turn. He has betrayed the American people and his oath of office. He’s done absolutely nothing to investigate Obamagate except to tell everyone stay tuned, time and time again.”
Trump and his allies have long promoted the so-called Obamagate theory, which argues that former Barack Obama administration officials, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats conspired to undermine Trump’s presidency, launching a supposedly bogus investigation into Russian election meddling.

In a statement, conservative super PAC The Lincoln Project expressed support for the Fox Business host, describing Graham as a “pathetic swamp rat.”
