Former DNC Chair: Biden Has 'Superstar Appeal,' Would 'Win Overwhelmingly' Against Trump In 2020
- 6 years ago
Ed Rendell recently told John Catsimatidis that Joe Biden is a "superstar" and would "win overwhelmingly" against President Trump in 2020.
Former Democratic National Committee chairman Ed Rendell has said that Joe Biden is a "superstar" and would "win overwhelmingly" in a race against President Trump in 2020, reports Newsweek.
"There's only one person I can say who'll definitely win the election...and has a superstar appeal in almost every state...and that's Vice President Biden," Rendell told host John Catsimatidis on the AM 970 radio show that aired Sunday.
"Of course, people say he's too old. But he's only a year and a half older than President Trump and he's in infinitely better shape. So I don't think age would be a factor in a Biden-Trump election.," Rendell further noted.
In early December, Bide fueled speculation about him running for the high office in 2020.
He said during an appearance on ABC's 'The View,' "If I were offered the nomination by the Lord Almighty right now, today, I would say no because we're not ready. The family's not ready to do this."
"If in a year from now, if we're ready and no one has moved in that I think can do it, then I may very well do it," Biden added.
Politico reported in November that he has been privately telling others that since no other viable candidate capable of defeating President Trump has emerged, "that might mean he'll just have to run himself."
"Biden in recent months has shifted unmistakably in favor of running, say multiple people who've been in touch with the former vice president and his team," the piece further noted.
However, publicly, he has expressed doubts.
"Yes, I think I'm qualified, but that doesn't mean I should be president or that I will run for president," he told a crowd in Salt Lake City. "The honest to God answer is that I don't know."
