Is a Hurricane Biden Brewing?

As Kamala Harris stumbles in softball interviews while attempting to distance herself from the White House, Joe Biden is upstaging his wanna-be successor. Is Biden about to blow?

Joe Biden shuffled to a White House podium on Wednesday afternoon ostensibly to discuss the federal government’s response to Hurricane Milton as the treacherous beast barreled toward Florida’s gulf coast. Forecasters had warned the storm would reach historic levels of winds and storm surges; Florida residents scrambled to evacuate.

But Biden instead used the impending tragedy—as he spoke, numerous tornadoes touched down in east central Florida—to shamefully attack Donald Trump for allegedly spreading “disinformation” about his administration’s handling of Hurricane Helene.

“These lies are un-American and there’s simply no place for them,” Biden raged from the Roosevelt Room. “Former President Trump has led this onslaught of lies.”

Now, Biden didn’t bother to explain the basis of his accusations nor was he asked to do so by any of the lapdog regime reporters in the room. To the contrary, reporters shouted questions about the former president: “Why do you think Trump is spreading misinformation about Hurricane Milton?” asked ABC News bootlicker Selina Wang.

While Trump—poised to beat Biden like a drum in November until Democratic Party hierarchy bullied him out of the race over the summer—remains Biden’s favorite whipping boy, it appears someone else soon may be in the hot-tempered Irishman’s crosshairs: Kamala Harris.

‘You Might be Demonstrating a Failure to Show Appreciation’

Wonder how often the above line from “The Irishman” bounces around Biden’s head these days.

After all, Harris continues to act as if she rightfully earned the Democratic nomination for president instead of winning a consolation prize at the expense of the man who elevated her to the second highest office in the land only to watch her become the most unpopular vice president on record. And now she is taking a number of lowkey shots at Biden in her recent media tour. 

From comparing the hand-off of the nomination to the Midnight Ride to using her distinction from Biden as a laugh line, Harris risks incurring the wrath of both Bidens.

In general, Harris’ showing in the latest round of softball interviews undoubtedly bolsters Biden’s belief that he could have been re-elected in November. (CBS News producers just edited one of Harris’ more nonsensical responses from her first solo interview on “60 Minutes” after the clip went viral to much mockery.)

Biden, 81, still doubts post-debate polling indicating he was headed for defeat; Biden told the harpies on “The View” in September that he “was confident I would beat Trump.” The polls, Biden further claimed, demonstrated he remained “within range of beating this guy.”

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly used those surveys as part of her coordinated campaign to oust her longtime friend and political ally. And despite his self-serving excuses as to why he stepped aside—country over party, time for a new generation, blah blah—Biden clearly harbors deep resentment about being forced out. 

So Harris’ latest comments are likely to get Biden’s Irish up; it is only a matter of time before Biden’s well-known temper, coupled with deteriorating mental capacities and the memoryholing of his 50-year career in government, gets the best of him once again.

When asked by “Late Night” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night how a Harris presidency would differ from a Biden presidency, Harris answered, “I’m obviously not Joe Biden.” While on its face the response seemed benign, Harris turned to the audience and paused for applause—which she got. Some in the crowd even laughed.

Imagine how that went over in the TV sitting room of Joe and Jill Biden. And it’s not the first time Harris has used the line in interviews.

Paul Revere? Really?

Harris this week is gleefully regurgitating a fanciful description of the Sunday morning in July when Biden called to inform her of his decision to exit the race. Portraying herself as the happy homemaker to her extended family, Harris told “The View” harpies that she was simultaneously working out, cooking breakfast, explaining ingredients to her grand-nieces, AND finishing a puzzle when Biden made the call.

She asked Biden, “are you sure” about stepping aside. But while Biden was speaking, Harris apparently covered the phone and instructed her grand nieces to “go get your father!” (The girls’ father, Nikolas Ajagu, is married to Meena Harris, Kamala’s niece. He is a former Facebook executive and now stay-at-home dad.)

Then the tale became really outlandish. “We laughed afterwards…that Amara the elder one was kind of like Paul Revere and Leela the younger one was like Paul Revere’s horse.” Harris then cackled as the harpies played along.

Not exactly the sort of somber reaction Biden might expect from his running mate or at least one recounted on the campaign trail. Kamala Harris as a revolutionary hero and Biden as what—a redcoat?

That’s enough to get Biden’s Irish temper dial way up.

But perhaps Harris’ biggest overreach is comparing herself to Biden in the family department. Harris also told “The View” harpies that she and Biden “have a lot of shared life experiences.” Such as? “The way we feel about our family and our parents and so on.”

Now, there are few things in life that Biden likes to brag about more than his children and role as a father and grandfather—despite the well-documented proclivities of his surviving children. But put yourself in Biden’s fall-free loafers for a moment: Childless Kamala Harris who didn’t marry until almost 50 years-old insists she shares family “life experiences” with a man who tragically lost two children and his young first wife?

Irish temper dial off the charts.

Strange Bedfellows and Stolen Spotlights

There are some signs of a passive aggressive counterpunch by Team Biden. During Harris’ Tuesday appearance on “The View,” Biden delivered impromptu remarks on the government’s preparation for Hurricane Milton. And moments before Harris’ much-hyped speech in Michigan last Friday, news coverage cut to the daily White House briefing when Biden unexpectedly appeared at the podium to take questions from reporters for the first time in his tenure. A CNN anchor said the move “clearly overshadowed” Harris’ event.

Biden also is commending Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ handling of Hurricane Milton at the same time Harris inexplicably picked a fight with the storm-tested governor by complaining he would not accept her call and describing his snub as “selfish.” Both Biden and DeSantis are publicly complimenting each other; Biden yesterday said DeSantis has been “very gracious” and “thanked me for all we've done.”

Ouch.

Biden’s slow burn might heat up over the weekend as new polling suggests Harris is losing ground in key swing states. And after Harris’ bad week, those numbers likely will continue to drop just as millions of Americans start to vote early.

No one will watch Harris’ slide more than Joe Biden—it’s hard to imagine he’ll keep quiet.

Hell hath no fury like an Irishman scorned.
