From The Hill: Democratic strategist Van Jones argued Wednesday was a “terrible day” for Democrats following President Biden’s COVID-19 diagnosis, arguing his response contrasted that of former President Trump, who faced an attempted assassination on Saturday.
“Today is a terrible day. If you pull back and look at this thing, strength versus weakness, a bullet couldn’t stop Trump. A virus just stopped Biden,” Jones said Wednesday night on CNN.
“You’ve got nominees of this party getting their butts kissed. Biden’s getting his butt kicked by his own party. The Democrats are coming apart. The Republicans are coming together. That’s what’s happening. And at some point, this party has to look at the reality of that,” he added.
The White House announced Wednesday that Joe Biden had tested positive for Covid yet again. Biden had to cancel a scheduled speech in Las Vegas and travel back to his vacation home in Delaware.
Meanwhile, Trump was shot on Saturday, and traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin the same evening to attend the Republican National Convention this week. He will deliver his keynote speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination Thursday night.
