Schiff says Biden has to ‘win overwhelmingly’ or pass the torch, adds VP Harris could win against Trump - eviltoast

The quote:

“Given Joe Biden’s incredible record, given Donald Trump’s terrible record: he should be mopping the floor with Donald Trump. Joe Biden is running against a criminal. It should not be even close. And there is only one reason it is close. And that is the president’s age.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Asked about polling that showed Harris outperforming Trump if she replaced Biden, Schiff said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he thought she would be a “phenomenal president.”

    “I think she has the experience, the judgment, the leadership ability to be an extraordinary president,” Schiff told moderator Kristen Welker.

    Schiff also said Biden’s interview with ABC News that aired on Friday wasn’t enough to quell mounting concerns from Democrats about his mental fitness.

    Can he demonstrate to the American people that what happened on the debate stage was an aberration, that he can and will beat Donald Trump.”

    Front-line Democrats who spoke to NBC News say they fear that his debate performance has done irreversible damage to his candidacy.

    Biden remained publicly defiant in the face of calls from some Democrats to drop out of the race, repeatedly saying that only “the Lord Almighty” could convince him to end his bid for a second term in office.
