‘Do You Think You’re Ready?’: Fox News Host Asks Dem Gov Point-Blank If He Feels He Can Replace Biden

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade questioned Democratic Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on Wednesday about whether he feels he could take over for President Joe Biden as the party nominee “should the wheels come off.”

A prominent pollster has called for Biden to consider dropping out, as he has been experiencing dismalpolls. Kilmeade, on “Fox & Friends,” asked Moore about whether he could take Biden’s place amid concerns about the presumptive nominee’s viability, but the governor declined to answer if he would be willing and able to do so.

“A Republican told me, they said ‘when this bridge collapsed, this is going to be a test for Governor Moore. Because people think he’s going to be presidential material. And if he can get this done quickly, this would be a great launching pad for him.’ So far you’re doing it. And that’s why people are floating your name as a possible President Biden replacement, should the wheels come off come the August convention. Your reaction?” Kilmeade asked.

“I’m full-throated in my support of President Biden because I know so much of the momentum that we’ve been able to see in the state of Maryland,” Moore answered. “When I was first inaugurated we were 43rd in unemployment. Now we have amongst the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country, we’ve been able to slash the homicides rates and violent crime rates in the state of Maryland where Baltimore now is the fastest drop of homicides of almost any major American city in this country. We’ve done it because we’ve moved bipartisan. We’ve done it because we’ve moved and built bridges. We’ve done it in partnership with the Biden Administration. And I’m excited for another four years to have a chance to work with President Biden.”
