MSNBC host Jen Psaki sounded the alarm on former President Donald Trump’s possible return to office as she went to bat for Joe Biden following a dismal week for the president’s polling numbers.
Psaki, a former White House press secretary under Biden, weighed in on the potential 2024 matchup after recent New York Times/Siena College polls showed the president trailing Trump in five battleground states.
“And yet, the hand-wringing and cocktail party speculation about an alternative to Joe Biden is continuing – will continue. Guess what? Joe Biden isn’t perfect. No candidate is, by the way. But we have to understand what the alternative is here,” Psaki said.
“If elected to a second term, Donald Trump would prosecute anyone he deems an enemy, unleash troops on protesters and essentially unravel the rule of law as we know it. And this time, he plans to line his administration with people who actually will help him do it. But sure, Joe Biden is three years older and occasionally trips over things.”
