    Because Biden has spent much longer acting like this, and that’s why his numbers are so bad…

    But you’re acting like I’m dragging up ancient history, when multiple articles have been written about this situation in the last week

    Even if Biden doesn’t give a fuck about this guy, and apparently neither do his supporters, he’s incredibly influential with a demograph Biden is terrible with.

    Biden has faced similarly tough recriminations from other political luminaries. But coming from Charlamagne, it hits different. The radio host, 45, claims a loyal audience of 8 million monthly listeners. He is ascendant, having taken on roles guest hosting “The Daily Show,” starting up his own podcasting empire with iHeartRadio and being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. He’s also reaching the very voters Biden is struggling to draw: young and Black.

    And he actually understands the biggest threat to Biden, he’s not good at motivating voters

    “In 2024, it’s a race between the cowards, the crooks and the couch,” he said, referring to Biden, Trump and the option to stay home.

    Charlamagne suspects the couch will win.

    Dude is smarter than Biden gives him credit for, because Biden is 80 years old and this guy has a “rap name”.
