Former first lady Hillary Clinton says Joe Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running for reelection – despite saying three years ago saying he should.
But in a Monday interview, Clinton never said whether she decided after first urging him to run that he was too old, only that he should have “passed the torch.”
Clinton claims another Democrat nominee would have defeated Donald Trump had the party held a competitive primary to succeed Biden.
“He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy and for the country,” Clinton told New Yorker editor David Remnick. “I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.”
“He said he was not going to run again and I believe if he had stuck to that plan, that he wasn’t going to run, that he would pass the torch to the next generation, we would have had a real contest.”
Clinton claims that “a governor or a senator or anybody else would have beaten Donald Trump.”
“So I think it was a terrible miscalculation, uh, on the part of President Biden,” she added, “but once he didn’t move and, you know, admit he had decided he was going to step aside and then decided not to and held on for as long as he did we were in a terrible dilemma.”
A little over three years ago, Clinton was asked about whether Biden should run for a second term and deferred to him.
Clinton twice ran and lost for president , first in 2008 for the Democrat nomination when Barack Obama defeated her, and then as the nominee in 2016, when Trump won his first term.
Too bad Debbie Wasserman-Shulz wasn’t at the wheel of the DNC at that time. She could have undercut President Biden like she did to Senator Sanders for you in 2016…
She DIDNT blame Trump …I guess there is a first time for EVERYTHING !
What a bitch this woman is .
What a great day it was when she lost the election.
Funny thing is, Biden didn’t make mistakes. His family & the dnc in general used a feeble elderly man to get their agenda accomplished. Now everyone blames him. The man probably doesn’t even know he was POTUS. Jill should be in jail for elder abuse. Hillary is just plain evil. She knew all along and is playing the public, as usual.
Least we not forget, it was Hillary who said that Biden was such a great President that he should be placed on Mount Rushmore along with other great Presidents!
Just go the F away, Hildabeast!
It will be a great day in the morn when it’sannounced Hillary won’t be down for breakfast,
Will we ever be able to thank Trump enough for ridding us of this woman forever?
