Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is sharing her opinion of former Vice President Joe Biden’s chances of taking the Oval.
Senior Correspondent Nicholas Ballasy asked the House Financial Services Committee chairwoman on Tuesday about the Democratic primary and whether or not she would be endorsing Biden or Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Waters confirmed she wasn’t backing either candidate at the moment.
When asked whether she likes Biden or Sanders more, Waters answered that she wanted a candidate that can defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 general election.
“It’s not about who you like. It’s about, now, watching and understanding who can beat Trump,” Waters said.
She continued when asked if Biden has a chance to defeat Trump, “I don’t know, but we’ll see.”
Ballasy went on to cite Biden’s gaffes raising concerns about whether or not he could stand against Trump. Waters immediately responded with a reminder of Trump’s own gaffes. She insisted no one has had more gaffes than Trump.
“Nobody has made more gaffes and told more lies than the president of the United States of America,” she responded. “How dare he talk about someone’s gaffes.”
Waters added, “There’s a whole litany of those committed by him.”
