Chuck Todd says Biden 'could have never' performed like Kamala Harris did during the debate

NBC’s Chuck Todd applauded Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday for how she handled the presidential debate against former President Trump, arguing she outperformed her predecessor, President Biden.

"It is fascinating to me that how the Harris campaign has — has decided to take Trump on, belittle him, make him small.

"Like this is — and this is borrowing a page from how Barack Obama dealt with Donald Trump. Now granted, Obama never actually faced him in a campaign, but it was — it was a belittling. It was the whole Gary Busey shot."

"This stuff does get under his skin," Todd said. "He can’t handle it. And we’re seeing—I mean, this is why I—if I were in the LaCivita/Wiles shoes I would not put him up against her again, because the abortion contrast alone. And that’s the most important thing about this debate."

"He disagreed with J.D. Vance," host Andrea Mitchell said.

"It is the most important part of this debate. He gave that unforced error in that answer," Todd replied. "Joe Biden could have never done what Kamala Harris did. And that’s why Joe Biden couldn’t win this election" due to alleged discomfort with the abortion issue. "What she said, talking about humanizing it, Joe Biden couldn’t even bring himself to utter the words ‘abortion ban’ and she called them Trump abortion bans."
