Scott Jennings: Hur’s Report Is ‘More Damaging, Longer Lasting and Pivotal’ for Biden’s Campaign

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MARQUARDT: “And Scott, to that point, this report is damaging. How much do you think these concerns over Biden’s age are already baked in for voters heading into the general election?”
JENNINGS: “Well, you just look at the polling. Obviously, people had these concerns. The concerns that they had came from what they saw themselves in television appearances and speeches and so on and so forth. What makes this more damaging and I think longer lasting and really pivotal for the campaign is that a third party credible, independent voice comes along, spends a few hours with Joe Biden and says, yes, everything you think you have been perceiving about his public performance is absolutely true. In politics, some of the most damaging things are the ones that are confirmed by independent third-party validators, in this case, Mr. Hur, spends a few hours with him and comes to a conclusion that a lot of voters had been perceiving, but you know they don’t interact with Joe Biden every day. It’s just what they could see on TV. I think it’s going to last. I think it’s going to hurt. You can see from the people coming out today and just how vicious they have been against Hur, frankly vicious is what they have been, called him a liar and called him a partisan today. They know it’s damaging as well.”
