Former Trump campaign aide A.J. Delgado said, “Hate to say it but I wonder if he’s right.”
“Harris did so BADLY (didn’t flip a SINGLE county he won) and I think he might’ve pulled off the ‘retaining the blue wall’, which is all that was needed,” Delgado wrote Saturday. “People didn’t want to vote for Harris, a woman, but many would’ve voted for Biden.”
Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis also weighed in on the news, saying, “Well this makes sense.”
“Joe Biden is the only one who can’t remember how bad Joe Biden’s cognitive deficiencies are,” the indicted conservative wrote.
Self-described “political junkie” Russell Drew said, “I regret that Joe Biden entered the 2024 race to begin with.”
“And there was no way that he was gonna defeat Donald Trump after that first debate performance,” Drew wrote. “Kamala Harris gave Democrats a fighting chance, and she came within a whisker of winning it all.”
Caroline Glick, host of the Caroline Glick Show and a New York Post columnist, said, “Biden needn’t regret bowing out of the race.”
“He can run simply run again in 2028!” Glick wrote. “Can’t wait for Biden 28!”
