'If that’s considered weak, then we’ll take that in 2020,' Robert Wolf said.
Robert Wolf, a former economic adviser to Barack Obama, took aim at Donald Trump’s criticism of Joe Biden as “weak,” pointing to a recent poll showing the Democratic 2020 hopeful 6 points ahead of the president.
Wolf also pointed to significant early endorsements of Biden’s candidacy, as well as his appeal to moderates. “The number one surrogate for moderate candidates was Joe Biden,” Wolf said, highlighting the so-called “blue wave” of Democratic victories during the 2018 midterm elections. Trump, 72, took aim at Biden, 76, during an interview this weekend on Fox News Channel's Sunday Morning Futures. “What the hell happened to Biden?” the president asked. “It just doesn't look like the same Biden."
