Joe Biden on Friday announced he is backing failed Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms for Georgia Governor in his first endorsement since leaving office.

Because getting an endorsement from a former president who was forced off the 2024 presidential ticket by his own party is a huge win!

Keisha Lance Bottoms served as the Mayor of Atlanta until 2021, when she joined Joe Biden’s administration as a senior advisor (DEI hire).

As Atlanta Mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms destroyed the city by imposing strict COVID policies – as she marched with Black Lives Matter militants during the George Floyd riots.

In one of her more memorable moments as Biden’s advisor, Keisha Lance Bottoms was unable to say why Joe Biden hadn’t visited the southern border amid an invasion of illegal aliens.

“Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms… I’ve known her for a long time, and she’s something special,” Biden said in a low-energy video.

“As mayor of Atlanta, Keisha faced every challenge a leader could face, and then some… a global pandemic, a major cyberattack on the city system, economic uncertainty that tested every community across Georgia,” Biden said.

“And then she came to the White House, served as a senior adviser. And I’ll tell you, those same colleagues that made her a great mayor made her invaluable to our administration,” he said.

“Smart, focused, gets things done. Georgia, she’s ready. She’s been ready,” Biden said.. “Let’s get this thing done.”

Biden’s endorsement is the kiss of death.

Imagine being endorsed by the guy who got forcibly kicked off the ballot by his own party less than 2 years ago.

The fact that you let this guy sit in the White House for four years and now still prop him up as a valid endorsement is pathetic. But I guess all you cared about was being able to control the puppet.

Joe Biden shuffles out of retirement to endorse Keisha Lance Bottoms: “Let’s go win this thing” – because the party that ditched him two years ago clearly needs more of his golden touch.
