Donald Trump on Friday pooh-poohed the idea that President Biden would be replaced as the Dem presidential candidate even after his lousy debate showing — saying it’s not like the party has anyone better.
Donald Trump on Friday pooh-poohed the idea that President Biden would be replaced as the Dem presidential candidate even after his lousy debate showing — saying it’s not like the party has anyone better.
Trump, 78, began his Chesapeake, Va., rally by declaring “victory” in the pair’s CNN showdown Thursday, saying Biden, 81, studied for the debate at Camp David “so hard” that “he didn’t know what the hell he was doing.”
The GOP contender then threw out potential names of Democrats who have been frequently mentioned as potential replacements for Biden on the 2024 ticket, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Vice President Kamala Harris and former first lady Michelle Obama.
But Trump said he didn’t “really believe” the reports indicating the Democratic National Committee could shake up the race by ousting Biden because “he does better in polls than any of the Democrats they talk about.”
Trump called Newsom a “bad governor” who “can’t run California” and “has lousy poll numbers.
“You take a look at some of the others. Of course Kamala is someone who would be on the [list],” Trump said to audience boos.
“It might have been Joe Biden’s single best decision, putting her as vice president,” Trump said, suggesting Harris would never be able to usurp her boss becuase she’s so unpopular.
