A new report exposes the embarrassing reason President Joe Biden won’t be hitting the final stretch of the campaign trail.
During Tuesday’s “CNN This Morning,” host Kasie Hunt cited an Axios report which revealed President Biden would like to be campaigning alongside his vice president, but that the Harris campaign was “not exactly embracing the offer.” Hunt added, “If they did want him to campaign for her, he would be campaigning for her.”
Axios reporter Alex Thompson joined the CNN show as a panelist and said, “The campaign sends out a daily email of all the surrogates, including actors and actresses and members of the cabinet. They did not mention that Joe Biden was going to be in Pittsburgh on Saturday, even in that email.” He added, “They could claim oversight, but the fact matter is, like they don’t believe that the president is helpful in this final stretch.”
Thompson reported on Sunday that Harris’ team sees the president as a political liability just a week away from election day. Thompson also noted that the campaign was hesitant to tell the president’s team directly.
Thompson said they understand Biden is “unpopular,” but they still think the president can appeal to older, White voters in Pennsylvania.
The president voted early in Delaware on Monday and was asked by a reporter if casting his vote for Harris was “bittersweet.”
“You know, this is just sweet,” Biden said.
Thompson said, “You know he may say it was not bittersweet, but there‘s certainly people around him that find it more bitter than sweet.”
