Rachel Maddow commended President Joe Biden for his act of “profound political and personal sacrifice” on Sunday, before slamming former President Donald Trump as he looks to return to the White House.
“He is now 78 years old and gives speeches of such rambling incoherence that even his most ardent super fans start wandering off or checking their phones by the time he starts talking about sharks and showerheads and how beautiful you would think he looks if he were to take his clothes off,” the MSNBC host said.
Maddow’s comments arrived hours after Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee in November. Harris has said she intends to “earn and win” the nomination, and a wave of Democrats have come forward to join Biden in endorsing her.
It’s not yet clear whom Harris might choose as a running mate, but Maddow slammed Trump’s VP choice — Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) — for having “basically no record in public service” and being someone “most Americans do not know.”
The MSNBC host later declared that Republicans — along with Trump — had been “uncharacteristically disciplined” about commenting on Democrats’ recent concerns about Biden, as the GOP eyed polls and bragged about an “absolutely guaranteed victory” in November.
But Biden, she noted, waited to make his announcement until Trump picked “the most radical, the most ideologically extreme and even eccentric” running mate.
“Today, Donald Trump’s remarkable recent run of political good luck came to an end with a crash,” Maddow said.
She continued: “The old man in the race now is Donald Trump, 78 years old and only occasionally coherent, with a record as president that is viewed by historians as the worst in the history of the country, a tenure that ended in violence.”
