Republicans are scrambling to regain their footing after President Joe Biden dropped his re-election campaign and threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 81-year-old president ended his campaign Sunday following weeks of mounting pressure from other Democrats over concerns about his age, and Barack Obama's former campaign manager David Plouffe told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Donald Trump and his GOP allies were left grasping at straws following the shakeup.
"I've been impressed by Kamala's interviews the last few weeks," Plouffe said. "She's a prosecutor, he's a criminal – I like the matchup.
"Listen, let's not forget, the biggest issue in this campaign was Joe Biden's age. If Donald Trump gets elected, he'll be older than Joe Biden [was] on Inauguration Day. This guy is showing serious signs of unfitness — yes, in terms of character and the positions he holds, but in terms of his decline. He is really, really having trouble reading the Teleprompter. Obviously, the [Republican National Convention] speech was bad in tone, but he couldn't follow instructions there. This should give us great pause."
The former president had been counting on a rematch with his 2020 rival, and although his team has been preparing for the possibility that Biden would drop out, Plouffe made fun of Trump adviser Jason Miller for coming out of the chute by attacking Harris for supporting a ban on plastic straws for environmental reasons.
"I'm excited about this," Plouffe said. "I think the Trump campaign doesn't seem like they were as prepared for this switch as perhaps they might have been. They seem like they're kind of grasping. I guess they're talking about plastic straws and whatnot – not a compelling message."
A big-time donor for President Joe Biden thinks the Democrats missed a big opportunity by passing the ball to Vice President Kamala Harris without a convention, and he won’t be funding her run.
John Morgan, a Florida attorney and major donor for previous Democratic candidates, shared his views with Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Tuesday afternoon on why he’s not giving the Democratic presidential nominee any money.
“Harris brings a lot of great things to the table,” Morgan said. “Is she the best messenger? Is she the best person? Is her way the best way to go forward? And for me, I don’t think so.”
He compared the convention process to a fantasy basketball draft, noting that any smart player’s top draft should be a no-brainer.
“We would pick Lebron James,” Morgan said. “We had that type of opportunity but they seem to be squandering it by taking a lesser pick.”
Cavuto pressed Morgan on who he thinks his party’s Lebron James is, and he listed off several party favorites: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Witmer – noting that a vetted combination of star players would be the strongest choice.
But that ship has sailed, Morgan said, adding that whoever she picks as a running mate is irrelevant at this point.
“The deal is done. I don’t think there’s anything more that can be done,” Morgan said. “People vote for president, they don't vote for vice president.”
