Colorado Gov. Jared Polis admits ‘a lot of us are holding our breath’ when Biden talks
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis conceded that many Democratic colleagues often find themselves holding their breath when President Biden opens his mouth, fretting that he’ll make another blunder.
Polis stopped short of calling on Biden to step aside as the presumptive Democratic standard-bearer but emphasized that the onus is on the President to prove himself.Ex-NYC official blames Mohegan Sun for son's caught-on-video fentanyl death, demands NY reject casino bid“I think only he knows where he’s at and what he can do. I know that he and his family and Hunter are having these discussions,” Polis said.
“You can’t pretend that you’re ahead when you’re down. Can we come back? Absolutely. We’re probably 4 or 5 points down nationally. Might be a little bit harder than that,” he said. “We need to change something about what we’re doing.”Nearly three-dozen congressional Democrats have come forward and called on Biden to step aside.
Moderator Jake Tapper asked Polis why Biden hasn’t done more to demonstrate his mental acuity since last month’s debate, making a comparison to someone proving they can ride a bicycle. “I think the question is, is he capable of running a winning campaign over the next three and a half months? And the evidence so far is we’re down against a very weak Republican candidate who’s a convicted felon.”Polis further wished Biden a strong recovery from COVID-19 and was optimistic that the president would come back “full strength.
