- “She said once that at first you use a feather, then you use a sledgehammer, and she used the sledgehammer on Joe Biden.”
Joe Biden is privately “seething with resentment” after Nancy Pelosi pushed him off the ticket, says Dominic Lawson, columnist at The Sunday Times.

Blah blah blah, NOBODY CARES. I get that the media survives by capturing people's attention, but literally nobody cares. Joe voluntarily withdrew from consideration, Kamala is the nominee, and that's that. Move on and focus on the future.
It took a while for Joe to withdraw - & it's hard to argue with those who say it took a while *too* long. But, still & all - withdraw he did (woundingly hard as that must have been).In his *many* decades of political action he achieved a lot - & much more than most of his long-time contemporaries (much as I comprehensively condemn his handling as POTUS of huckster Netanyahoo [not a typo] ).
Other than being the spawn of expat father Nigel........ just what has fee-grasping sprog sinecure-safe Dominic to lay claim to? Nothing more than Giles Coren's anaemic wannabe trading off the much-missed father Alan's talent status to cling to at The Times.
All in all, this near quarter hour of snide sniping is a squirm-inducing pothole in Times Radio's [sp]output. They could so easily have done much better (as previously) than this limp smirking snigger-fest.
Dude Kamala wasn’t elected by people, she never would have been, as an American voter, fxxx Kamala and that attitude, she has no right and she is probably gonna win because all this was either planned or they let it happen, cause they knew Biden would lose, they should have done the right thing a long time ago and removed Biden for incompetence, put Kamala in charge, and everyone would see she destroys things WAY faster than Biden, the democrats have no business in charge of our country , and literally they use evil and the media advantage to take advantage of hard working Americans who would never vote for them. It’s disgusting, and the UK is worse and by by western values, Good job guys
He didn’t ’voluntarily’ withdraw first Pelosi used the feather on him next she used the sledgehammer and the Presidency was prised from Joe’s cold politically dead hands but I agree a lot of drivel in this video about ‘ooolh why do we love people once they’re gone,’ simple we love them because they’re gone and are no longer a problem. Hard nosed journalists? Hardly, a bunch of teenagers.
As a long time supporter of Joe Biden, I can tell you that Joe Biden is not grieving. Only people who do not understand his personality can make these claims. Joe Biden knew grief when his wife and daughter died, and his one son died much later. That is real grief. No one has the presidency for more than 8 yrs anyway.
I agree, he is enjoying the momentum of the newly revived DNC. Why we have this cynical take from Times Radio is beyond me.
Excellent comment sweetheart
@@alanabowker1363 yeah right I can’t believe they said oh his Presidency will be forgotten ha it’s like what? I guess they don’t know what the US was like in Jan 2021 He walked into a nightmare situation with NO transition and he did an excellent job. Afghan War had to be ended it had gone on for 20 years and they’re not going to change there
@@SeaHawk-j9i Right? Joe Biden is an absolute legend for stepping aside.
Amen y’all! I’m super excited about Kamala and so thankful for president Biden
This guy knows nothing about USA politics lol
And this is nonsense. America, the sane part of America, is thrilled. Stop.
Biden: People keep saying I'm bitter, I'm not.
Media: Biden is seething
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm just a russian girl, livin' Samara. But I knowing some thing or 2 about Amerikanski politiking. And I do not to thinking Mr. Biden is the type person to "seethe". I think media just want to write clickbaiting story
Do a lot of folks claim to have some kind of ESP?
Media just can't let go of the Bitter Biden story. Trying to gaslight us into believing it's true.
It’s obvious that he’s seething. You just have to see how he “jokes” about being too old. He’s clearly struggling to let go.
@@davidbentley4731 No he’s not seething. He knows how old he is that’s all.
What is the purpose of shaming Biden at this point?
They have to disassociate Kamala from Biden.
This station has an agenda always. And it rarely lets facts alter their preconceived conclusions.
They don't actually. They are just Brits and love cynicism.😁
@@thesilkpainter 😂🤣😂 wankers…
Shame. I was starting to like them but now realizing it's just another propaganda channel. Oh well...
Biden slurs his words even in this speech. Thank you Joe for stepping down.
I’m sure Pelosi had some degree of influence, but I think her influence is being massively overstated. Why is it so hard to believe that Biden looked at the polls, heard from a wide swath of advisors, and made the difficult and mature decision to step aside.
Ultimately Pelosi was just channeling many Democrat voters. I think the party has been appreciative of not only Joe Biden's thirty year service in the Senate but eight years as Vice President and now even more these past four years as President. But it was going to be hard for many to vote for someone whose delivery in 2024 was a lot stiffer and halting than in 2020, legitimately raising the question of whether he was going to become incapacitated at some point in another four year turn.
Biden himself said Democratic party leaders pressured him to step down. He specifically named Pelosi.
Fox UK stinks from here 🇨🇦
Joe Biden is a good egg.
Remind me, who owns the Sunday Times? It is all you need to know to understand this comment. Never bite the hand that feeds you, I guess. Why air this?
Times are reading this totally wrong!!This is political strategy so watch the build over the next 3 days FCS!
Seething?? What the sigma are you going on about?
Nonsense. Who is this bloke? It was a feather. Live on MSNBC, she said it was "up to him to make a decision" (when he already publicly said he'd decided to stay). People read between the lines, that's it. Plus he's very obviously not seething. Where do British media get all these tragically uninformed US political "experts"
Times Radio (not uniquely) is obsessed with what gets clicks and acts as His Master's Voice - the [cough] 'gentleman' in question being Murdoch.
Spoken like a disappointed Trump supporter.
No doubt a Brexit supporter. Got to love the Tory ruling class.
Honorable, an actual STATESMAN, Dedicated, politically brilliant.
Joe Biden is exactly what a great leader should be.
I must be seeing another Joe Biden than you do.
"Obviously his powers have waned enormously" - Really? Then how is it we are so close to a ceasefire in the Middle East? How is it that the IRA is the most significant legislation in decades? How is it that he's taken how many trips this year and how many events? D-Day in France, NATO 75th in DC, event after event after event.
"Unedifying to call Trump a loser" Are you really serious? Of all the things to call Trump, "loser" is at least one of the most printable, and as he lost the popular vote in 2 elections, the most truthful. Have you journalists forgotten that as well as a retirement speech this is also part of an election trying to win more supporters? Maybe if you spent as much time hi-lighting Trump's lies as you have critiquing Biden's speech you would sound more impartial.
How many votes did Kamala get in the primary?
Nobody tells the president of the United States what to do, buddy.
For your information, democracy is when a group of individuals have a conversation, then come to a consensus and act on it.
I thought that democracy was two lions and a lamb voting on what's for dinner.
ONLY NANCY TELLS THE PRESIDENT WHAT TO DO!!!
Joe is an honest man
What a laugh!
Why are the Brits so funny?! lol. Was this a comedy act or political analysis? 😂 Love it! Thankyou Times Radio.
Good job by Nancy then - there were two unfit candidates standing now there is only one.
Which one is it? Kamala or Walz?
Yes! It’s the New York conman- the orange Oaf.
"I don't care about you, all I want is your vote!" - Trump.
If Biden was truly "seething," he wouldn't have spoken last night. LBJ wasn't "seething" when he stepped out of the '68 nomination process, but he didn't even attend the '68 convention or speak on Humphries behalf...a "seething" President would not have helped his VP like that, yet he did and he's cemented himself as one of the most important Presidents in history.
Again, yall are getting the analysis wrong on the U.S. elections (even if most of the facts are accurate).
If there is anybody "seething" ...it's Donald Trump! 😂
What is done, is done. Few if any presidents have a consequential 2nd term. He is going out on a high….
I agree. Ronald Reagan had a much tougher first than second term. But all his accomplishments were really in that first term. Both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama spent most of their second term fighting politicians in the opposing party. I don't think that George W Bush ended up fighting the opposite party as totally stuck in the mud because of the Afghan and Iraq Wars of his making. Even if there had been no term limits and even if there had been no financial crisis, also largely of his making, he would not have been re-elected.
I think he’ll be remembered for accomplishing more in four years than many accomplish in eight. And some of it incredibly consequential.
Check out this guy. Predictable.
Honestly I get no bitterness from Joe Biden at all. He is obviously disappointed but give him credit he isn't a fool as much as many people try to paint him that way. He also doesn't strike me as petty.
What does it matter? It politics, its horrible but total imperative that the Democrats win.
Dominic Lawson is projecting like mad here. He's the one whose powers have waned enormously and is bitter and seething.
Thank god Biden stepped down. A Trump Presidency as pushed by Murdoch stooges would be cataclysmic.
As a yanqui in France, I appreciate your analysis of US politics. It is probably at least as good as US news sites, and I read them. Keep up your good work.
Really can't see why anyone would take Lawson seriously.
President Biden isn't "seething"...get real there you people.
Even if Biden was...what would be accomplished carrying on your discussion?
Make better use of your time.
🇺🇸
Biden is more optimistic today than when he became a senator 50 years ago? Life felt pretty optimistic 50 years but I’ve never felt less optimistic in our country’s direction than I am today. It’s unfortunate but completely uncalled for really.
Far from seething, I'm convinced this was his plan all along. He never planned to run for a second term, but wanted to give his V.P. the best chance of succeeding him in the oval office. As a canny political operator of long standing he knew exactly how to do this, which is what we've seen playing out.
Joe Biden is a good man and has been a good statesman and president!! Unfortunately time catches up with us all, but voting for Donable Lechter is not an option!!! Now where's that Chianti???
You guys are not reading this correctly at all. Please stay out of American politics... you're making fools of yourself
This article is irrelevant. Are you chasing ratings? America has moved on. Focus on the now and the future.
Nancy Not Only Was A Successful Congressperson - She was an exceptionally sharp business person and one of the most successful stock traders. She should be a professor at an IVY league school and write a book entitled: 'My Journey Through Congress and Untold Wealth".
Nancy Pelosi's wealth increased significantly during her time in Congress.
When she first entered Congress in 1987, her estimated net worth was around $3.6 million. Estimates suggest that her net worth grew by about $100 million.
Recent data shows that she made approximately $22 million in 2024 alone from investments, highlighting her EXCEPTIONAL success in stock trading.
This growth has been a subject of public scrutiny and debate, though no evidence suggests illegal activity . (PolitiFact) (Lead Stories) (Finbold).
God help us if Trump is revered after he’s “finally” gone. But he should never be forgotten.
I'm 76 years old. I don't want a president my age or old.
I subscribe to the Nancy Pelosi way of being unemotional when making political decisions. She looked at the polling numbers, read the room and acted accordingly. She knifed her best friend while looking at them in the eye. There was no backstabbing involved. It was all political business. And look where we are now! Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are riding high. The hope and joy is back. I applaud and salute Nancy Pelosi for doing what was necessary.
What is this bullsh*t? The grief hour? LOL He dropped out and that's the end, isn't it? Go sound like the maga whiners over in.... That corner, this sticky one they use.
The avearge american is not paying 25% on their Credit card. Where to you get your stats?
It used to be lower but interest rates have risen.
Lending Tree updates their numbers every quarter and they say the average for all new card offers right now is 24.92%
Thank the gods for Nancy
BS is the word of the day on Times Radio...
All sound like MAGA
. Just whining and complaining..doing nothing 😅😂🎉
if you spent as much time dissecting Trump as you do with third rate guesswork about this non event you might get somewhere.
I can't help but regard with curious sympathy and amusement, the oddly skewed and profoundly disconnected analysis of panels like this one. As a child of the Midwestern United States of America, I know it isn't fair of me to expect a more careful and accurate understanding of our politics from the media personalities of my country's former colonizer turned client state, but, despite the existence of similarly afflicted pundits here, I do. Furthermore, I'll admit to bristling at the suggestion that Biden's clean-up of the Afghanistan mess he inherited was anything but a spectacular achievement of diplomacy and statecraft. Particularly when considering that after Mike Pompeo talked Trump out of making a big show of the matter at Camp David near the upcoming anniversary of 9/11, Trump sent him to the Seychelles to meet with the Taliban to negotiate the terms of US surrender and hasty exit. Biden had never supported this conflict and tried to talk President Obama into leaving during his second term. However, Biden did what he could and that turned out to be quite a bit. While Trump's administration intended to "ghost" Afghanistan as quickly as possible, leaving allies hanging in the wind, Biden managed to negotiate an extension of several months, so as to rescue as many as he could, with the complete cooperation of the Taliban forces who even helped defend the remaining bases from the attacks of other militants during the final days of the drawdown. This is just one example of the difference between President Joe Biden's skills and experience versus Trump's feckless venality. One might also consider Biden's handling of Covid 19 and the USA's subsequent economic recovery in its wake. Even as VP in Obama's administration, C19's cousins SARS and MERS never turned into pandemics in the USA, despite ravaging other parts of the world. Where Trump and fellow travelers in the right-wing fever swamp "politicized" the pandemic, his professional and serious predecessors in the Obama administration merely did their jobs and prevented catastrophe twice. More than a million Americans died in the official count, 100% more than should have. For these and many other reasons Joe Biden should be celebrated as one of our greatest Presidents. As for the upcoming election, the certainty with which media from across the pond of me regard the prospect of a Trump victory is equally bizarre and confounding, I hope none of you at "The Times" put any money to wager on that.... Bless your hearts.
Ok so times radio really would prefer a fascist govt in US and here and anywhere. What an utter load of toss....... Pelosi, Biden etc are politicians its is a ruthless game and things change. I suppose in times radio;s opinion Boris and truss left of there own free will and were brilliant. And also dont you think picking up Biden on one phrase to imply he is an idiot is pathetic. This lacks any form of sensible journalism as always
Dominic, is sadly on the miss information trail, again, and again.
Pelosi forgets that Biden gets Seal Team Six.
I don't see how he is more optimistic. He is delusional. The country is $30trillion in debt, the political and judicial systems are failing and corrupt, the nation utterly polarised, crime and homelessness on the rise everywhere. I have lived here 40 years and can't wait to leave.
Where did they get his fool from? Time Radio seems to kind of an "undecided" "clown show" lately, sort of like the current state of the Tory clown show... This is nothing but "filler" with no substance at all....
😂😂😂😂 Hillary and Biden and Trump can all not go away soon enough and Putin and netanyahu can all go in the same boat
Wishing the Democratic party the very best! Hoping to see more of team Kennedy!

great conversation, enlightening and funny!
Unedifying to list his achievements???? 😂 have you been to America?
There's so much going on the report on and analyze and here we are gossiping. Lol.
I just lost a ton of confidence for Times Radio. Bidens' political life is a hero story. Especially the fact that he stepped down. He will be remembered as one of the best presidents in history.
Why don't you scrutinize Trump instead? He is still in the race!
Who is this dude? And what does he know about Joe Biden?? Nothing. Stick to your side od the pond.
Can I just say how I love Times Radio? I mean, this is the kind of informed but informal analysis, essentially non-partisan, urbane and courteous in dealing with commentators on the left and right that we deserve, and one always feels better for having watched. The analysis of politics and of big events like the invasion of Ukraine are frequently superb and always thought-provoking. This is what the BBC should be like.
it's unfortunately not non-partisan at all, you can't tell which way this is heavily leaning??
