The Biden administration has skirted Congress to rush weapons to Israel and shielded its ally from international calls for a cease-fire in the four months since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war. But the White House has also urged Israel to take greater measures to avoid harming civilians and to facilitate the delivery of more aid to besieged Gaza.
Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal said Biden was hindering Israel’s war effort.
“Instead of giving us his full backing, Biden is busy with giving humanitarian aid and fuel (to Gaza), which goes to Hamas,” Ben-Gvir said. “If Trump was in power, the U.S. conduct would be completely different.”
It is - and my reasoning is that it will hurt him more and boost trump more - than just keep going as is.
If you can pick between the one that sends money and the one that will send money, it’s same-same so no downside for Biden.
I don’t follow your politics closely, but I think your budgeting on that for 2025 starts in a month. And that the previous one (2024) was approved in autumn 2023
How would continuing to do the thing that is unpopular help him get votes?
Who they gonna vote for? Trump? They gonna sit out because of it? Will trumps voters sit home because of it?
Possibly. That happened in 2016.
Possibly. Certainly people have been saying they will do that or vote third party rather than vote for “Genocide Joe.”
Doubtful.
I still think he will count on them not doing that.
I don’t know too much about your elections, so it’s based on previous actions by Biden and the human trait of going down with the ship rather than admit you were wrong.
Issue is a lot of the states do not realize that Trump winning would almost certainly lead to a dictatorship and think they CAN afford to not vote for Joe. So yes, there may be enough who sit out that Trump could eek out a win

No idea who he is sorry. Is he independent?
he is a well known academic. he is independent.
Thanks. Sounds far better than a tv-star or a demented guy killing kids. I will look for him in the news,
