Former Bill Clinton advisor Dick Morris has raised concerns about President Joe Biden’s prospects of winning reelection.
In an interview with Newsmax, he expressed his doubt that Biden’s jabs at former President Donald Trump would be effective.
“Fundamentally, Biden has no issues,” he said to “Saturday Report.” “There is nothing he has going for him. He has nothing to say. He has no issues.
“His negatives on Trump are really not landing, and I think they’re very likely to backfire,” he said.
The “get Trump” legal maneuvers by Democrat attorney generals and district attorneys with the media attacks are going to backfire on them, he said.
“The Democrats, in a Hail Mary, desperate move, are essentially saying we’re going to devote the next 6-8 weeks of this presidential race talking about Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump, and who was paid, and what they were paid for, and was that really hush money, and above all, the tiny technical issue of were you paying them out of campaign funds or out of personal funds?” he said. “I believe that the public is just gonna go crazy.
“I think they can look at this and say, ‘Are you kidding me? With the international situation we have, and dangers we face, and the economy as the inflation ticking back up, you’re going to tell me to vote for Biden based on this?’” he said.
He also said that his attempts to purchase young voters with his student loan forgiveness plans will not work.
Joe Biden came under fire from a legal expert earlier this week after the president declared again while on the campaign road that his administration intended to erase more student loans, even though the move was declared illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court in a previous decision.
In Dept. of Education v. Brown, the country’s highest court declared 9-0 in June 2023 that the Biden administration’s proposal to forgive up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients was unlawful.
In a different but related case, Biden v. Nebraska, the judges disapproved of Biden’s plan to give away student loans, voting 6-3.
