Former Secretary of State and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton penned an op-ed for The New York Times in which she advises President Biden to be “direct and forceful” when debating Donald Trump.
“I am the only person to have debated both men (Mr. Trump in 2016 and, in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary race, Senator Biden),” Clinton, the 2016 Democratic Party nominee, wrote in a scathing opinion piece for The New York Times Tuesday.
“I know the excruciating pressure of walking onto that stage and that it is nearly impossible to focus on substance when Mr. Trump is involved,” she added.
Clinton claims that during her debates with Trump, he “unleashed a blizzard of interruptions, insults, and lies that overwhelmed the moderators and did a disservice to the voters.”
Clinton also appeals for unhinged State of the Union Joe Biden to make a return.
“These ploys will fall flat if President Biden is as direct and forceful as he was when engaging Republican hecklers at the State of the Union address in March,” said Clinton, adding that Biden “has facts and truth on his side” because of the economy and investments in clean energy.
“He’ll win if that story comes through,” Clinton insisted.
Meanwhile, despite Clinton’s claims to the contrary, most Americans don’t agree that the economy is in good shape. But that hasn’t stopped Biden surrogates from trying to say that it is.
