Democrats don’t want Joe Biden in Georgia to campaign for Democrat incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock. He went instead to Boston on Friday to greet Prince William and Catherine. It was the last day of early voting in Georgia and voter turnout has been at record levels.

Biden spoke to IBEW union members who had set up a phone bank for the Georgia run-off election. That’s right – union members in Boston were phone banking for a Georgia election. Biden rambled on and on in his speech to the members before he joined in to do a little phone banking for Warnock himself. During Biden’s speech, he made a point of talking about what a moral man Warnock is and told the people in the room – who are not Georgia voters – that the election is a choice and Republican Herschel Walker doesn’t deserve to be a senator.

Biden misspoke, as he usually does, and said the union workers would help build 500 charging stations, but then corrected himself to say the number is 50. His speech was full of partisan red meat, calling Republicans election deniers, for example, and he said Warnock votes 98% of the time for his agenda. He mentioned that the phone bank workers shouldn’t mention that little tidbit to Georgia voters. If Warnock is so great, why hide the truth about how he votes? We know. Georgia voters aren’t fans of Biden and they live with the same results of his policies that everyone else does – high inflation, high interest rates, high grocery prices and gas prices, increased winter energy prices, and higher crime rates across the country. The southern border is open.

Ironically, Biden likes to claim he’s the union-supporting president yet, he had to call on Congress to head off a rail worker strike when he couldn’t get the job done.

Biden’s speech was full of some things he’s been saying lately – “I’m not kidding”, “I really mean it” and “No joke”. It’s unsettling. I guess he knows he’s full of it and is admitting he often isn’t telling the truth in speeches. And, he does a weird triple thank you when he’s finished speaking. He told the audience that he lived in Boston for about a year as a kid. I don’t think he’s said that before. Was that more of Biden’s fabulism? Re-writing his life story?

President Unity insults Walker’s voters when he says Walker doesn’t deserve to be a senator. The general election race was very close and Warnock failed to receive the 50% of the votes to avoid a run-off. That’s not a good sign for an incumbent. The run-off race is very tight and no one knows which way it will go. It is important, though, that Walker wins in order to slow Biden’s agenda in the Senate. A 50/50 Senate means Republicans get an equal amount of seats on committees. A 51/49 Senate means Democrats have a majority of committee seats and control the agenda. Also, a 50/50 Senate provides leverage to moderate Democrats to oppose Biden’s extreme agenda.

So, Lunch Box Joe pitched in at union headquarters for Warnock, making calls, fetching coffee for the volunteers as he thanked them for phone banking. It’s not like there is anything pressing facing the country that he could be working on instead of phone banking for a Georgia Democrat, right?

“This race in Georgia … it’s really, really critical,” Biden told members of the the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers who were poring over voting lists. “This is a guy who needs our help.”

The trip north to help a candidate in the South had even Biden a little mixed up, at least in his comments.

“I’m going to Georgia today,” he declared Friday morning, before quickly catching himself to say that he was headed north to do “a major fundraiser up in Boston today for our next and continued Senate candidate and senator.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., attended the phone bank and said she told Warnock that she’d do a fundraiser in her home state for him. “What you’re going to get is the best part – labor is going to be making calls for you in Georgia.”

Aides said the Boston trip was requested by Warnock’s campaign and Biden obliged, reflecting his promise to go wherever Democratic candidates wanted him in 2022.

“The president is willing to help Senator Warnock any way he can, however the senator wants him to get involved,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this week. As often as not, that also meant not going where he was not wanted.

Heh. Warnock is desperate to hold on to this seat in the senate yet he told the president to work for his re-election from Massachusetts. Biden is unpopular in Georgia, even among Democrats. Warnock specifically distances himself from Biden. He brought in Barack Obama this week to rally voters, as he did during the general election. Not Biden, but Obama. Warnock even refuses to say if Biden should run for re-election and if he does, whether or not he’d support him.

The Georgia run-off election is on Tuesday.
