Biden should ‘stay hidden’ to win election, Van Jones says: ‘He doesn’t inspire confidence’

CNN contributor Van Jones said President Joe Biden should hide from the public view if he wants to win the 2024 election because he “doesn’t inspire confidence.”

Speaking after Trump’s victory in the New Hampshire primary, making him the likely Republican nominee, Jones detailed the strategy he would give the president.

“If I were Biden … I would stay hidden,” Jones said. “And I’ll tell you why — he doesn’t inspire confidence. And he’s not a great messenger for himself. He has done a tremendous job for this economy. Union members, union leaders … are racking up win after win; they should be put forward.”

“There’s something wrong with this campaign, where we’re somehow expecting Joe Biden, who frankly hid during the last campaign, to come out now and be Flash Gordon and save his own campaign. The people who are benefiting from the Biden economy, and they exist, should be empowered to speak,” he said.

Jones’s remarks were met with shock from the other members of the panel, one of whom instead characterized Biden’s campaign as “disciplined.”

Most of the Democratic Party has united around Biden as their 2024 presidential candidate, but some have been adamant about their fears that his age, at 81, may be a problem.
