‘What Polling Is He Talking About’: Brit Hume Slams Biden’s Claim He Could’ve Won Reelection

“His poll numbers tanked, and that’s why the party rose up, or leaders of it, and talked him out of running again and got him off the ticket. And then he turns around and says he’s not, he’s not clear that he could have finished the term,” Hume said.

Biden’s stance as to his own fitness for office, Hume said, was uncertain.
