‘Democrats Are Coming Apart’: Van Jones Notes That COVID Has ‘Stopped’ Biden, While A ‘Bullet Couldn’t Stop Trump’

CNN’s Van Jones described Wednesday evening how the Democratic Party was “coming apart” as he noted President Joe Biden being “stopped” by COVID-19, while former President Donald Trump couldn’t be stopped by a “bullet.”

During CNN’s coverage of the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a panel discussed the mounting pressure Biden has been facing as lawmakers are continuing to call for him to step aside as their party’s 2024 presidential nominee. During the breakdown Jones began by stating how the announcement of Biden testing positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday has led to a “terrible day” for Democrats.

“Look, there are a lot of people who want Biden to stay in. I want to just keep pointing out, there’s still grassroots love for Joe Biden, everybody doesn’t agree. But today is a terrible day. If you just — if you pull back and look at this thing, strength versus weakness a bullet couldn‘t stop Trump, a virus just stopped Biden,” Jones said. “You‘ve got the nominees of this party getting their butts kissed. Biden‘s getting his butt kicked by his own party. The Democrats are coming apart. The Republicans are coming together. That‘s what‘s happening. And at some points, this party has to look at the reality of that.”

Trump appeared late Monday at the Republican National Convention just days after surviving a failed assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The president was set to appear on stage Wednesday at the Las Vegas conference for the Latino civil rights organization, UnidosUS, CNN reported
