Stuart Varney: Biden is losing the media and his party
Four months before the midterm elections, Democrats are not happy and the criticism is getting worse, Varney says
During his latest "My Take" Friday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discusses President Biden's job performance as he begins to lose touch with his party and the media, arguing the criticism is "getting more intense."
STUART VARNEY: 1968, a highly contentious year: Riots, assassinations and the Vietnam War.
President Johnson was in the White House and Walter Cronkite anchored the "CBS Evening News."
Cronkite had become critical of the war. Johnson reportedly said, "If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost middle America".
Shortly thereafter, the president announced that he would not run for re-election. He walked away.

President Biden is in a somewhat similar position today: He's losing the media.
And he's losing his own party.
Four months before the elections, Democrats are not happy.
This is in The New York Times: "Biden promised to stay above the fray, but Democrats want a fighter."
It’s a long list of Democrat gripes at Biden’s performance.
This from Bernie Sanders' former spokesperson: "Fundamental rights are being stripped away. And the White House just isn't coming with anything".
This in the National Review -- granted its conservative publication, but it’s pretty strong stuff from Matthew Continetti: "What I have been wondering is whether anyone is leading the government at all. There is no power in or behind the throne. The throne is empty."
Biden's response is to scatter blame over just about everyone.
Oh no, it’s not Biden’s policies, it’s those wicked MAGA Republicans, or gas station owners, or meat packers, or airlines. Anybody, really!
Well, the criticism isn't going away. It’s not being toned down. It’s getting more intense.
I'll repeat my prediction: The Democrats will lose big in November.
They will blame Biden, and he will either walk away like Lyndon Johnson, or be unceremoniously dumped by his party.
