President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigned together in Maryland on Thursday, appearing at a rally at Prince George’s Community College.
And while Harris, who reportedly signed off on a 25th Amendment threat allegedly used by Barack Obama to force the aging president to step aside, managed to evoke enthusiasm from the crowd, Biden sent them to the exits when he began speaking, according to the New York Post — his now-trademark slurring and inability to maintain a train of thought ever-present.
More from the newspaper:
“Shortly after Vice President Kamala Harris handed over the podium to President Biden on Thursday, dozens of attendees at a joint event simply stood up and left rather than listen to the retiring commander-in-chief.”
“The rude demonstration was a stark showing of the enthusiasm gap among Democrats revved up by Harris’ sudden elevation as the party’s presidential nominee after Biden dropped out last month — amid reporting that Harris, 59, is seeking to redefine herself to gain distance from the unpopular incumbent.”
Not that Harris didn’t try to pour it on the man she replaced at the top of the Democratic ticket. Talk about cringe, her efforts seen below had some social media users wondering if she had been drinking before the rally — at least we can see why The Machine™ will not allow her to speak to the media or go off script.
CRINGE: Kamala praises “extraordinary” Joe Biden — the least popular president in modern history, whose cognitive decline she covered up.

Interestingly, with lame-duck Biden in tow, the Harris campaign opted to go with a “fairly small venue,” as noted by Fox News reporter Mark Meredith, which is a break from earlier rallies.
Happening now: Biden/Harris event in Maryland (focused on Drug Costs) to get underway within the hour. Organizers have a large crowd but chose a fairly small venue for this joint POTUS/VPOTUS event. This will look different than the Harris rallies in AZ/NV etc pic.twitter.com/4PbNmztcDv

As for poor ol’ Joe, things only got worse when pro-Palestine activists interrupted his remarks to accuse him of facilitating “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

The Trump campaign was quick to share a remark from Biden about beating the hell out of Republicans.
Pushing the misleading Project 2025 claim that Trump has distanced himself from, the 81-year-old president said, “Let me tell you what our Project 2025 is: Beat the hell out of them!”
The Trump War Room responded, “Biden instructs the audience to “beat the hell” out of Republicans — a month after the assassination attempt against President Trump. Disgusting!”
