Ex-Obama Adviser Van Jones’ Voice Cracks for Biden on CNN After Debate
Ex-Barack Obama adviser Van Jones’ voice cracked as he searched for the words to describe Joe Biden’s disaster of a debate on Thursday, musing that Democrats may need a new candidate to oppose Donald Trump.
Jones, now a CNN political analyst, was among the first on the network to break down Biden’s performance, in which he sounded hoarse, gave incoherent answers, and looked lost for large swaths of the night.
“I love that guy. He’s a good man. He loves his country. He’s doing the best that he can,” Jones said of Biden. “But he had a test to meet tonight to restore the confidence of the country and of the base. And he failed to do that.”
