When this is all folks on the left can muster up, you have to think Biden is in real trouble.
Voters at Massive Bronx Rally Have a Message for AOC As Even Dems Come Out for Trump
Many didn't appreciate the attitude of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who had wished the rally would be messed up by rain, tweeting "God is Good" over that possibility.
Biden Implodes at Reporter During Embarrassing Presser, Reveals 'Deal' Around Questions
Finally Biden wrapped it up, with a weird "WHOA" remark and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to rush the reporters out.
Today on Capitol Hill...
It will be rather quiet today on the Hill as we head into Memorial Day Weekend. The Congress critters will be off vacationing with family and friends and whatnot. Haven't seen yet where AOC plans to spend her holiday — probably not in the Bronx.
White House What's Up
Speaking of the holiday weekend, it will surprise precisely no one to learn that President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill will be spending theirs in Wilmington, Delaware. He's had a busy week — probably could use the rest.

I feel a little slow on the uptake here — I blame the fact that I'm maxed out on multi-tasking at the moment — but I had a lightbulb moment this morning as I was editing an article about former President Donald Trump's big, bad Bronx bash: The Bronx may not be Manhattan, but I guarantee the jurors who've been put on ice all week are aware of the rally. Will it influence their deliberations? Maybe not directly or consciously. But it will be hanging there in the background. I'll hand it to the Master of Marketing: He's crazy like a fox.
This looks like a good way to spend at least part of the weekend...
