WASHINTON, DC: Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom recently found themselves at the receiving end of widespread mockery. This came about after President Biden praised Governor Newsom's leadership in California, amid speculations that Newsom might replace Biden as the Democratic candidate in the 2024 presidential elections.

Adding to the critique, Fox News host Jesse Watters also took aim at Biden's daily routine recently, portraying a less-than-flattering picture of the president's schedule. Watters suggested that Biden's routine lacks vigor and stamina, implying that he struggles to navigate a full workday. However, this criticism sparked a divided response online.

Meanwhile, fellow Fox News host Sean Hannity also joined in recently with mocking remarks about Biden's purported physical decline. Hannity raised concerns about Biden's perceived fragility, suggesting that it's becoming a significant worry for Democrats and that the White House is struggling to conceal it.

Citing recent incidents like stumbling while boarding Air Force One, Hannity argued that the president's physical deterioration is becoming increasingly apparent.

Joe Biden praises Gavin Newsom on his leadership skills

According to Fox News, President Biden offered praise to California Governor Newsom on Friday, amid speculation surrounding Newsom's potential candidacy in the 2024 presidential race for the Democratic Party.

Speaking at the White House during a meeting of the National Governors Association as reported by Fox News, Biden highlighted the progress of the high-speed rail line project, stating, "We're building the nation's first high-speed rail line in California and Nevada."

He then thanked Newsom stating, "I want to thank Governor Newsom for his leadership on that." Further joking, "And by the way, I'm not sure how many people who leave L.A. can do it in two hours to get there, or whether they're going to come back or not," as per Fox News.

The planned $12 billion Las Vegas to Los Angeles high-speed rail system aims to significantly reduce travel time, with trains traveling at speeds exceeding 186 miles per hour.

The project, expected to be completed in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, is anticipated to offer a journey time that is twice as fast as the standard drive time, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation, as reported by Fox News.

As the political atmosphere intensifies in the US, speculation has arisen regarding the possibility of Newsom replacing Biden in the 2024 elections. Podcaster Joe Rogan is among those who have made such predictions, suggesting that Democrats might be seeking to replace Biden with Newsom at the last minute.

In a recent press conference, Biden was questioned about the purpose of his three-day fundraising trip to California, with some speculating it was aimed at positioning Newsom as his successor in the upcoming November general elections. In response, Biden humorously remarked, "Are you ready? Well, I’m looking for— I’m looking at you. We’re looking at you.”

Internet users assert Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom are 'dorks'

A user called out Newsom and the rumor circulating about him becoming presidential candidate, stating, "What a horrid thought...He could not effectively govern California. He does not need to run for President."

A user on Facebook wrote, "Geez these people cannot be voted in."

Another user wrote, "2 of the worst politicians America has ever seen!"

A user labeled Biden and Newsom 'Dumb and Dumber' and commented, "Dumb and Dumber remake. Can’t wait to see that on Netflix."

Another user commented, "Two dorks!"
