Trump campaign adviser: 'Biden is actually a very good debater'
By Tal Axelrod - 08/08/20 09:37 AM EDT
Jason Miller, an adviser to President Trump’s reelection campaign, said in an interview published Friday evening that Joe Biden is “actually a very good debater,†appearing to run counter to the GOP’s confidence that the former vice president would hand Trump an embarrassing gaffe that could spark a negative news cycle.
“Joe Biden is actually a very good debater. He doesn’t have as many gaffes as he does in his everyday interviews,†Miller told The Washington Post. “I would make the argument that Joe Biden would even be the favorite in the debates since he’s been doing them for 47 years.â€
The Trump campaign and its Republican allies have been eager to alter a news cycle that has focused on the inability to push a coronavirus relief package through Congress and the president’s most recent controversial remarks, and have floated the idea that a televised debate could be just the kind of event they need.
