Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau criticized the Biden-Harris campaign\u2019s rhetoric throughout the race and called President Joe Biden\u2019s decision to run again a \u201ccatastrophic mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the \u201cPod Save America\u201d podcast, Favreau spoke about the election\u2019s outcome with his fellow hosts, explaining that Biden kept praising the candidate\u2019s historically robust economy and that \u201cclearly, 70, 80% of voters don\u2019t believe that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJoe Biden\u2019s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake. It just was. He and his inner circle, they refused to believe the polls, they refused to believe he was unpopular, they refused to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation,\u201d Favreau said during the podcast.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then after the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine, and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters at the time that Kamala Harris couldn\u2019t win. So they were shivving Kamala Harris to reporters while they told everyone else, \u2018not a time for an open process,\u2019\u201d Favreau continued.<\/p>\n
Favreau also pointed to the Biden campaign\u2019s internal polling numbers showing that Donald Trump was going to handily defeat him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign\u2019s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes,\u201d Favreau added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
