During CNN’s coverage of Sunday’s CNN Democratic presidential debate, CNN Political Commentator and former Obama adviser Van Jones stated that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden’s “pride of his record gets in the way.” And Biden’s refusal to admit he’s made mistakes “does give me some pause about him up against Trump, who’s going to go much harder after his record than did Bernie tonight.”
Jones said, “I do think that Biden, if you think about Biden up against Trump, Biden’s pride of his record gets in the way. There’s — listen, when Bernie Sanders is throwing those lefts and those rights at you, you can sit there and try and defend, defend, or you can just say, you know what, I have learned and I have changed and here’s what I think now. His refusal to do that, I think, does give me some pause about him up against Trump, who’s going to go much harder after his record than did Bernie tonight.”
