Former 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang believes President Biden will not be able to complete a second term, saying there is a “clear difference” between now and four years ago.
Yang, a supporter of Biden’s Democratic challenger, Rep. Dean Phillips, warned about Biden’s mental acuity. Interview with Free Press On Friday, Yang compared his experience with the president in the 2020 presidential race, with whom he faced off in the Democratic primary, to what he recently witnessed in the White House.
“I saw the president speak in person two weeks ago, and there’s a clear difference between now and three or four years ago,” Yang told Michael Moynihan of the Free Press. Ta.
“I mean, we were in the same primary four years ago, so I’ve been close to Joe the whole time. So he speaks, he comes off the stage, and I speak.”
“Even in those days,” Moynihan interjected.
“Oh, yeah,” Yang replied.
“It’s tough. And what I’m angry about with the mainstream media is that they seem to be ignoring something that so many of us can see.”
“Just last week, I was in the room when a group of Democrats were chanting ‘four more years’ at Joe. He’s not going to get through a second term,” Yang later said.
“I don’t think he’ll ever get over it.” [term]? ” Moynihan asked.
“Oh, no way,” Yang doubled down, then added, “I would be stunned if he could survive most of a second term.”
Yang laughed at the thought that Vice President Kamala Harris “might be the only one who is less popular” than Biden among big-name Democratic politicians, who withdrew from the 2020 race before the Iowa caucuses. , pointed out that they had their sights set on defeat at home. California.
“I wouldn’t be thrilled if Kamala Harris became president,” Yang told Moynihan.
Yang said former President Trump is the “huge favorite” for the presidential race, based on polling, particularly among independents, which shows Trump’s significant support compared to 2020.
He shot down the “magic thinking” of Democrats who are convinced either Biden will do well in the polls or Trump will be in jail by November.
“Part of me is the kind of person who feels like Joe Biden is undermining his superpowers just by running for office. His biggest superpowers are that he’s a good person and that he’s going to help the country.” “We’re trying to do the right thing because of this. But he’s doing the wrong thing by running away,” Yang said.
“He has overstayed his welcome. He is putting his own ego before the interests of the country and will be punished for that.”
