‘Trump Is Going To Win’: Lincoln Project Co-Founder Blasts Biden’s Team, Says They ‘Gaslit America’

A co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project accused President Joe Biden’s team of misleading Americans about the president’s health Saturday.

Biden has faced multiple calls to step aside as the Democratic nominee since a poor performance in a June 27 CNN debate with former President Donald Trump. Steve Schmidt, a one-time Republican strategist, said Biden’s team “gaslit America” in a rant on X, where he denied involvement in Pass the Torch PAC, a group running ads urging Biden to drop out.

“I’ve been a Democrat for 5 years and started a group that helped elect Biden by raising 100 million and running a brilliant campaign that did 3.2 billion in ad impact,” Schmidt posted in response to a post accusing him of supporting Pass the Torch. “The imbeciles who architected the current disaster said it was ineffective. LOL. Biden called to say thanks.”

During the 2020 campaign, Biden never explicitly said he would not run for a second term as president, but comments about being a “transitional” president were interpreted as implying he would only serve one term, the Hill reported
