NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain claimed incumbent President Joe Biden did not need any major strategy to get ahead of his rival, former President Donald Trump, during an interview on Sunday, April 28.

Speaking with MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Klain reasoned that it was because of the fact that Trump was adept at causing harm to his own image.

Ron Klain's remarks on Joe Biden and Donald Trump

When Psaki brought up the subject of Biden's speech at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner of April 27, where he took potshots at his predecessor, Klain stated, "I don’t think it’s a big political strategy to take down Donald Trump. I think Trump is busy taking himself down every day."

“And it’s important, though, for the president to make the contrast between the kind of presidency he’s brought and what he’ll do for four more years, and (what) Donald Trump has done, what Trump himself is saying he’s going to if he gets the chance to come back to the White House,” he added.

Asked about Biden's habit to “needle” Trump, Klain said, “I think it’s the party of it. I think the president loves to campaign. He loves being out there with people. He loves working the rope live and engaging voters, and so he gets in a good mood when he’s out on the road, and so the jokes come."

Close contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden

The race to the presidency in 2024 is expected to be closely contested, according to polls conducted by The Hill and Decision Desk HQ. Polling averages reportedly show Trump up by less than half a point over Biden.

As a result of Trump's ongoing legal issues, his public image has come under added scrutiny. A poll by CNN revealed that only 13% believe Trump is receiving fair treatment in his criminal hush-money trial currently underway in New York, reported Bezinga. With skepticism about a fair verdict seen among the majority, the chances of Trump in the upcoming election can potentially be impacted, stated the publication.
