'That sounds suspiciously like Donald Trump,' Jess McIntosh warned on CNN.
A former adviser to 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said that 2020 hopeful Joe Biden is"dangerously close to using Republican talking points" and sounds like President Donald Trump when he discusses Medicare for All.on Tuesday, ex-Clinton aide Jess McIntosh shared her perspective on the former vice president's healthcare pitch.
"The risk he [Biden] has here though, is he comes dangerously close to using Republican talking points when talking about Medicare-for-all," McIntosh said."There was a lot of 'Medicare as you know it will go away, seniors will be left with nothing,'" she said. "That sounds suspiciously like Donald Trump, and as long as Biden is trying to appeal to the Democratic base during the primary, they're not going to like him engaging with this topic using that kind of language," she asserted.
