Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau criticized the Biden-Harris campaign’s rhetoric throughout the race and called President Joe Biden’s decision to run again a “catastrophic mistake.”
On the “Pod Save America” podcast, Favreau spoke about the election’s outcome with his fellow hosts, explaining that Biden kept praising the candidate’s historically robust economy and that “clearly, 70, 80% of voters don’t believe that.”
Joe Biden’s decision to run for president again was a catastrophic mistake. It just was. He and his inner circle, they refused to believe the polls, they refused to believe he was unpopular, they refused to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation,” Favreau said during the podcast.
