NBC News’ Chuck Todd, the former host of Meet the Press, implored Democrats to “make him Grandpa Biden,” in reference to wildly unpopular Democrat Joe Biden, who occupies the White House. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden and a Hunter business crony got subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday in connection to Biden family financial dealings that are jeopardizing national security. Polling from The New York Times and Siena College found President Donald Trump leading Biden in five important swing states in the 2024 election.
Chuck Todd said on MSNBC that “Biden’s problem is age, okay, and he can’t do anything about it.” Todd complained, “And I do think when you look at the way he’s being judged and they’re like, oh, he’s weak on the economy or he’s weak on this, it’s not fair but I think that he’s, everything is seen through the prism of age, and energy for him.”
“Again, politics isn’t always fair. Just because, you know, that isn’t, that just is. How do you change that? I’d be putting him out there more. Let people get comfortable with him. He is who he is. Make him Grandpa Biden and embrace it. Rather than sitting here and pretending, treating him like a Faberge egg, and somehow making it where, you know, it’s like, let it rip. Good, bad and otherwise,” Chuck Todd said in an uninspiring ramble.
“Look, Trump does it. And it’s why any one thing doesn’t always stick to him, in some ways. He gets people used to his behavior. This is one of those cases, I think the White House needs to get more comfortable getting people used to who…Biden is. He’s not going to change. He’s not going to get younger,” Chuck Todd ranted.
