Of course, ice cream was involved.

President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, hosted a thank you event on Thursday for hundreds of staffers who worked on the reelection campaign that he chose to exit nearly three weeks ago.

Judging by the security tents, the location offered a dose of political nostalgia: The staffers met with Biden at The Queen, a music venue that played a critical role in his successful race for presidency in 2020, when he often spoke to the public from the theater’s stage.

After having dropped out of the race, Biden wanted to show his appreciation for the staff’s work over the past year and their continued efforts in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, who succeeded him as the Democratic nominee. That’s according to a person familiar with the president’s plans who shared details of the events but insisted on anonymity to discuss the arrangements.

The event featured food and, naturally for Biden, his beloved ice cream.

    Hahaha oh man that’s a good one.

    The DNC is their own biggest enemy. They’ve been fumbling elections for decades.

    Acting like this was some kind of mastermind plan and not just pure dumb luck requires some intense faith paired with mental gymnastics.

    No wonder people have started calling y’all Blue Maga.

          The platonic ideal of bringing up the genocide is good. But you McNuggetHeads keep bringing up the genocide as an nonsense excuse to abstain from voting against an even bigger genocide, so when a centrist like yourself brings up the genocide, yes it is bad.
