Joe Biden's campaign is getting rockier with each passing day even though he's currently in the lead in the Democratic primaries. As more candidates are dropping out of the race, Biden's main competition right now is Bernie Sanders. However, Biden isn't backing down in the race or against anyone who's apparently misquoting him.

According to reports in 2019, Obama was already concerned about Biden getting into the presidential race out of fear Biden would "embarrass himself." Perhaps Obama wasn't wrong about that. Biden's said a few questionable things in the past and recent footage of him getting into a heated debate with an autoworker didn't seem to help his case. As the autoworker claimed Biden was trying to "end our Second Amendment right," Biden called "bullshit." Actually, he didn't say that -- he insisted the worker was full of shit before listing off the straps that he owns.
"I support the Second Amendment,” Biden said. "The Second Amendment — just like right now, if you yell ‘fire,’ that’s not free speech.”
Biden continued to engage in the heated debate until someone from his team began to interfere. Even then, Biden denied that any of these "viral videos" are actually true and told the autoworker, "Don't be such as horse's ass."
Peep the argument below.
Kamala Harris Joins DNC Push & Backs Joe Biden
Biden gains more allies.
After the man who was projected to lead the DNC in November had a slow start, he is back where everyone expected him to be. Joe Biden entered the Democratic race for the presidential nomination as a favorite, but a slow start in New Hampshire, Nevada, and Iowa almost doomed his campaign. Lo and behold, Biden captured South Carolina off the strength of Black voters, and rebounded during Super Tuesday to steal the lead back from Bernie Sanders. Biden was able to pick up momentum due to Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Tom Steyer backing out the race and endorsing him. Now, another DNC candidate is putting their endorsement behind the former Vice President.
"There is no one better prepared than Joe to steer our nation through these turbulent times, and restore truth, honor, and decency to the Oval Office," Kamala Harris said in a statement on Sunday. "He is kind and endlessly caring, and he truly listens to the American people." Kamala is the latest, after Mike Bloomberg, to throw her support behind Biden just months after she attacked him on the debate stage for being insensitive to Black issues. With the DNC seemingly forming around Biden, does Bernie stand a chance of winning the nomination?
Elizabeth Warren’s Presidential Campaign Comes To An End, Trump Reacts
Elizabeth Warren won't be running for Democratic presidential candidate after another a failing round in the primary contests.
Elizabeth Warren is out of the presidential campaign to become the Democratic nominee, CNN reports. The most recent round of votes in the Democratic primaries was the final straw, as well as the fact that both Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden have received far more support than she has. In a message passed along from her campaign manager, she told her campaign staff that she didn't want to their finish to undermine what they've accomplished since entering the race.

"I wanted you all to hear it first, and I wanted you to hear it straight from me: Today, I'm suspending our campaign for president," she said. "I know that when we set out, this was not the call you ever wanted to hear. It is not the call I ever wanted to make. But I refuse to let disappointment blind me -- or you -- to what we've accomplished. We didn't reach our goal, but what we have done together -- what you have done -- has made a lasting difference. It's not the scale of the difference we wanted to make, but it matters -- and the changes will have ripples for years to come."
Of course, it didn't take Trump to chime in on another democratic candidate dropping out and referring to Warren as "Pochahontas" once again. Check the tweet below.
Chuck D Says Flavor Flav Rather "Dance For His Money" After Bernie Sanders Debacle
Chuck D claps back.
The members of Public Enemy are currently public enemies. Flavor Flav released a statement earlier this weekend taking aim at Chuck D for supporting Bernie Sanders and using the group name to promote his political campaign. “We have become aware that Flavor’s bandmate and Public Enemy co-creator, Chuck D, has endorsed Bernie Sanders’ candidacy for President and plans to perform at an upcoming Sanders Rally,” Flav’s attorney Matthew H. Friedman wrote in a statement. “While Chuck is certainly free to express his political views as he sees fit—his voice alone does not speak for Public Enemy. The planned performance will only be Chuck D of Public Enemy, it will not be a performance by Public Enemy. Those who truly know what Public Enemy stands for know what time it is, there is no Public Enemy without Flavor Flav.” Flav went on to diss the Sanders campaign.
“Flav has always delivered his authentic self,” the statement continues. “That authenticity compels him to speak out to ensure voters are not misled and that Public Enemy’s music does not become the soundtrack of a fake revolution.” Chuck D caught wind of Flav’s anger and responded swiftly.
“Flavor chooses to dance for his money and not do benevolent work like this,” he said in a statement to HipHopDX. “He has a year to get his act together and get himself straight or he’s out.” Chuck’s attorney explained that, “From a legal standpoint, Chuck could perform as Public Enemy if he ever wanted to; he is the sole owner of the Public Enemy trademark. He originally drew the logo himself in the mid-80’s, is also the creative visionary and the group’s primary songwriter, having written Flavor’s most memorable lines.” We have a feeling that this isn’t over.
Rob Kardashian’s Request To Get Primary Custody Of Daughter Dream Is Denied
Rob Kardashian’s attempt to get primary custody of his & Blac Chyna’s daughter has been denied.
According to multiple reports, a family judge has denied Rob Kardashian’s request for primary custody of his and Blac Chyna’s 3-year-old daughter Dream Kardashian.
The documents say Chyna was “shocked to learn” about Kardashian’s request for an emergency order that would “permanently change the Custody Order for Dream so that Chyna would only be permitted to see her daughter from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday with a ‘monitor’ present, rather than the 5 days a week she now sees and cares for precious Dream.” The documents go on to allege that, even though Kardashian’s motion was denied, Chyna was “forced to expend time and resources to oppose Rob’s baseless motion.”
The docs that Kardashian originally filed seeking primary custody also included a request for Chyna to submit to drug and alcohol testing no less than 30 minutes before each visit with their daughter. Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, told ET at the time that the allegations made against her client were “absolutely absurd.”
In a statement, Chyna’s lawyer said, “Chyna will not back down from Rob and his family’s attempt to take away her agreed-upon custody of Dream. She will continue to take all necessary steps to protect her children, including defeating Rob’s and his family’s latest attempt to undermine Chyna’s joy as a mother to Dream and her ability to make a living as a single mother – without any child support from Rob.”
While Kardashian’s emergency motion was denied, he still has the ability to argue for a change to the custody arrangement in the future.
