Former Obama White House counsel Bob Bauer is standing in for President Trump during former Vice President Joe Biden’s debate prep, Fox News has learned.
Which 2020 presidential candidate has the upper hand? Reaction from John Thomas, president of John Thomas Strategies.
Bauer served as White House counsel for former President Barack Obama, and as general counsel on both his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. Bauer previously served as co-counsel to the New Hampshire State Senate in the trial of Chief Justice David Brock in 2000, and counsel to the Democratic Leader in the trial of former President Bill Clinton in 1999.
A source familiar with the former vice president’s campaign told Fox News that they expect Trump will be “extremely practiced” and “prepared” to debate Biden. The source added: “We know Donald Trump is going to lie through his teeth, but Joe Biden’s goal is to share his agenda, his plan and his values."
When asked whether the campaign was concerned about a debate night gaffe from the former vice president, the source defended Biden, saying that “the American people know this about him.”
