Comer predicts Biden will not be 2024 nominee: ‘Democrats are beyond full panic mode’
A bold prediction was made by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) about President Joe Biden’s future. “I have never believed that Joe Biden would be on the ballot next year, and I think the Democrats are beyond full panic mode now,” Comer said on the Tuesday edition of the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show.
“I think that the biggest short term problem they have is the obvious corruption that our committees unveiled among his family and their influence peddling schemes,” he added.
Comer has been leading much of the House Republican investigations into the Biden family and the allegations against them for utilizing then vice-president Joe Biden’s position to influence foreign business deals with his son Hunter and brother James.
“These are questions that are not going to go away for the Bidens,” Comer stated, referring to discoveries made by investigators that give evidence to the fact that Biden directly benefited from his family’s business dealings such as released records that showed the president got a $200,000 check in 2018 from his brother on the same day that James Biden got the same amount of money wired from a failing health care firm.
The investigations into potential illegal foreign deals through his son and family are just one aspect of Comer’s prediction. “Then you throw in the fact that his policies have been failures,” said Comer.
“The Inflation Reduction Act, all it did was significantly increase inflation. And his foreign policy leadership, that has put us in a position where we can have three wars in three different parts of the globe now, because of failed, weak leadership.”

‘Federal Warfare is Winding Down’ as Judge Grants Request to Cancel Further Proceedings in Jan 6 Case
“Federal lawfare is indeed winding down” now that former President Donald Trump has won the 2024 presidential election, National Review shrewdly points out. One of the most significant examples is that of Judge Tanya Chutkan, the Obama appointee who is presiding over the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump.
On Friday, Chutkan issued a brief order on the docket vacating all proceedings scheduled in the case. That includes any briefing on pending issues; she ordered that on or before December 2, 2024, Biden-Harris DOJ special counsel Jack Smith must file “a status report indicating [the government’s] proposed course for this case going forward.”
The course for the case is to dismiss it. Judge Chutkan’s order was a result of a brief application by Smith’s staff. The Trump camp did not oppose the application which stated:
As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, the defendant is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025. The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy.
National Review states what many in the political sphere have avowed all along: the entire thing was a theatrical and costly attempt to prevent Trump from being elected.
Judge Juan Merchan is due to rule next Tuesday on Trump’s motion to vacate the guilty verdicts. The motion includes the defense claim that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s trial presentation violated the principles set out by the Supreme Court in its immunity ruling (in the January 6 case) a month after Trump’s Manhattan trial ended.
