With concerns about President Joe Bidenâs health and fitness for the job swirling, MSNBCâs Rachel Maddow argues Democrats do not really need a backup plan for him.
Maddow appeared on ABCâs âThe Viewâ Tuesday and was asked by conservative co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, âTrump continues to outperform Biden in key battleground states, is there a world in which Democrats should have a backup plan for Joe Biden?â
âA backup plan?â the MSNBC host asked.
Griffin clarified, âIf he needed to be replaced on the ticket. If weâre three months out and Trumpâs still beating him in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina.â

Maddow responded, âI think the backup plan is run a better campaign.â
âJoe Bidenâs record as a president is a very, very strong record. I mean, we are the economic envy of the world. It doesnât mean our economy is perfect, but literally we are the envy of the world. Weâve got a better situation than anybody,â she added.
She insisted, âBiden hasnât been disqualified from running for the presidency by anything having to do with any of his performance. Itâs just that itâs going to be a tough fight. And so I think the backup plan is fight harder.â
