Joe Biden finally did an interview that wasn’t completely a softball interview.
The questions weren’t particularly tough from CNN’s Erin Burnett, but she did ask him about some basic facts, such as the polls being against him. Now if you know Biden, nothing ticks him off more than being challenged, and something like that definitely challenges him.
Burnett said that the polls showed that voters trusted former President Donald Trump more on the economy. She ticked off several problems with the Biden economy including the cost of buying a home which has doubled, real income is down, economic growth is down “far short of expectations,” and consumer confidence was at a “two-year low.”
“With less than six months to go until Election Day, are you worried you’re running out of time to turn that around?” she asked him. Biden looked out of it while she was talking, and his response was pure denial of reality.
