Jon Stewart says Trump is ‘becoming Biden in this race’

Jon Stewart has said that Donald Trump is now “becoming Biden in this race” from his “rambly” speeches to his “real decline”.

On the latest episode of his podcast The Weekly Show With Jon Stewart on Thursday, the late night host spoke about the rambling interview between Trump and Elon Musk on X Spaces on Monday and how Trump’s position in the 2024 election has changed since President Joe Biden quit his reelection campaign and Kamala Harris became the Democratic party’s nominee.

Stewart said that the interview made him realize one thing: that Trump is turning into Biden “before our eyes.”

“I think he is, before our eyes, becoming Biden in this race,” he said.

Pointing to the disastrous Biden-Trump debate in June – which marked the beginning of the end of Biden’s 2024 race – Stewart described the president’s struggles to answer questions as an “oh s***” moment.

“That performance by Biden in the debate was so shocking to the system of functionality,” he said.

Now that Biden has pulled out of the race, Trump’s own “real decline” is no longer “obscured” but is rather on show for all to see and hear, he said.

Pointing to Trump’s posts on social media, he said that while the Republican presidential candidate “has always been a bit rambly”, his recent posts have taken on a new level.
