CNN panel bursts out laughing as GOP operative's boast about Trump's base shot down
CNN's "State of the Union" panel ended in laughter on Sunday after a former President Joe Biden official reminded a GOP operative that Donald Trump has a major problem gaining voters outside his rabid base.
Discussing the potential match-up between the current president and the four-time indicted former president, Republican party campaign adviser Scott Jennings asserted Trump has the advantage because he has a locked-in base.
That led former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield to point out that Trump can't count on any voters beyond his base because independents are strongly aligned against him.
"What is more likely?" Jennings asked, "That Donald Trump could hold his core base together, or that Joe Biden with his problems with African American voters, with his problems with young voters who think he hasn't kept his promises, could hold its base together?"
"I think it is far more likely that Trump could hold his base again," he asserted.
"But Trump can't speak to the middle like Joe Biden can," Bedingfield interrupted before adding, "So the numbers under your scenario, the numbers can't get Trump there," which led to the laughter from off-screen panelists.
