Internet mocks Elise Jordan for saying Joe Biden can't have 'senior moment' against Donald Trump
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Elise Jordan, a political analyst for MSNBC, warned that President Joe Biden cannot risk having a "senior moment" against former President Donald Trump during next week's presidential debate.
Jordan mentioned a number of Democratic voters she recently spoke with on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' on Friday, June 21, stating that their main worry is that Biden won't appear to be "up to the task" in the match. "He absolutely cannot have a senior moment at this debate," the analyst declared, noting that Biden’s age is a top concern among his own voters.
Elise Jordan says Democratic supporters are uncomfortable with Joe Biden's age
Concerns raised by liberal voters regarding Biden's age were raised during the MSNBC panel discussion regarding the finalized rules and structure for the upcoming CNN-hosted 90-minute debate on June 27. The panel included columnist Eugene Robinson, show host Jonathan Lemire, and Jordan.
Jordan jumped in with what Democratic voters in Wisconsin and Michigan told her they wanted to see from the debate after the panel discussed the coin flip that decided Biden's podium choice and that Trump would make the last word in the debate, among other details.
"Well, the Biden campaign needs to set the narrative early that Biden is competent and capable to lead going forward," the pundit said, which she followed up with her "senior moment" remark, Fox News reports.
"I was in Wisconsin and Michigan two weeks ago for a lot of focus groups, and what I heard from voters, Democrats who support Biden, is just that they’re going to be watching and they want to make sure that he’s up to the task," she added.
According to Jordan, Democrats she spoke with feel uneasy about his age but still probably intend to support him. "And it really is an albatross that is hanging around this candidate and campaign," she declared.
Political analyst Van Jones also said Joe Biden needs to prove himself
In a recent CNN appearance, network commentator Van Jones emphasized that Biden must win this debate or else it's "game over."
"This is the entire election, as far as I’m concerned. The entire world will be watching," Jones told CNN host Jim Acosta on Thursday, June 20. "If you are a carbon-based life form, you’re going to be watching. If you’ve got a functioning brain stem, you’re going to be watching," he said.
"Because if Biden goes out there and messes up, it’s game over. If he walks out there and a week later he’s lower in the polls, it’s panic in the party," he continued, adding "But if he goes in there and he can handle himself against Donald Trump — a runaway train, a locomotive, a raging bull — then this guy deserves another shot to be president, because that is tough."
Internet says 'Communist CNN host will protect' Joe Biden
Netizens strongly reacted after Jordan made the "senior moment" remark on Joe Biden. "His entire existence is a senior moment at this point," tweeted one user about Joe Biden. Another added, "Don't worry he'll be juiced." "That won’t happen. Communist CNN host will protect him," commented one.
One user opined, "Biden will have many 'senior moments' Its part of the plan to replace him at the last minute." "Don’t worry. They’ll bring in the other Biden for the debate like they did for the State of the Union," said another. "I am beginning to wonder if he is just putting on an act, no one can be that morbid," commented one user.
His entire existance is a senior moment at this point.
