Former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor criticized President Biden's low public profile, noting that Donald Trump's continued visibility and recent policy announcements make it easy to forget that Trump is not the current president.
Former President Obama aides argued it’s becoming 'easier and easier to forget' that President-elect Donald Trump isn’t in the White House yet, with President Biden almost absent from the public eye. On their podcast 'Pod Save America,' ' Obama bros' Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor discussed Trump recently announcing a $100 billion investment from Japanese multinational investment firm Softbank Group.
'It was more or less a standard presidential policy announcement, the main difference being: Trump isn’t president yet!' Favreau exclaimed Tuesday. 'A fact that’s getting easier and easier to forget as Joe Biden seems to be disappearing from the public stage as his term comes to an end.' Lovett sarcastically added, 'Joe Biden believes in tradition and institutions, and we should only have one president at a time, and I think it’s a surprising choice to allow it to be Donald Trump.' Vietor conceded that Trump is 'very good at using social events' to show off the 'kind of pageantry and trappings of the presidency,' such as attending the Army-Navy football game, an event Biden had never attended. Lovett was especially critical of Biden and the Democratic Party in the final year of his presidency, particularly for waiting so long to replace Biden as the nominee. 'I’m trying to separate basically my frustration with Joe Biden in his final year, culminating in that debate and hanging on, and how much we paid for having somebody who just wasn’t an articulate and comprehensive messenger, not just on behalf of his own presidency, but on behalf of progressivism, democracy — and I am very angry about that, and I’m a little bit mad at myself for not being more honest about how I felt or not seeing it as plainly because we’re obviously paying dearly for it,' Lovett said
