Chuck Todd believes Biden’s team intentionally set him up to fail in debate

Chuck Todd says he can never shake the conviction that the team of former president Joe Biden deliberately installed him to fail against Donald Trump During the presidential debate that changed the campaign last summer.

During the last episode of “The Chuck Toddcast,“The former NBC anchor told Mark Leibovich of the Atlantic that he was sure that the inner circle of Biden had planned the first presidential debate last year in June so that the former president seems bad and that the party would abandon him in time to execute his replacement.

“Listen, I will go to my grave believing that the debate was intentional for that,” said the host.

Biden’s disastrous performance in last summer’s presidential debate is largely considered to be the death knell for the former president’s re -election campaign. Less than a month after the show, where Biden looked weak and contested cognitively, he announced his withdrawal from the campaign and approved the president of the time, Kamala Harris, to replace him as a candidate.

Biden’s cognitive decline has been more exposed in recent months while the anchor of CNN Jake Tapper and the newly published book by Alex Thompson, “Original sin“, alleged that members of the Blanche de Biden House gave themselves to a concealment of the president’s state.

In the clip indicated by The daily callerLeibovich caused Todd’s declaration by evoking a previous conversation that they had about certain members of the inner circle of Biden using the debate as an opportunity to hit concealment and show the world that Biden was not adapted to his functions.

Todd followed by saying that, no matter what the former main advisor of Biden, Anita Dunn and the co -president of the campaign, Jen O’malley Dillon, say, they think they were trying to exhibit his fragiles.

“Anita Dunn and Jen O’malley Dillon will deny him until they are blue in the face, and if I was in their place and I did it, I would deny it until I am blue on my face, ok?” Todd said.

“Of course, you deny that,” said Leibovich.

To return to the alleged plot to exhibit Biden, Todd continued: “There was no other reason. This idea:” Well, we had to shake the race. “At the end of June?

“They knew when the appointment was going to be and they knew they had to face this with an opportunity to make a change if it was necessary,” added Todd. “I will always believe it.”
