The president offered his thoughts on some of the Democratic presidential candidates.
By Colby Itkowitz Colby Itkowitz Congress, campaigns, health policy, Pennsylvania politics Email Bio Follow April 25 at 11:05 PM President Trump said Thursday night that he’s “rooting for” Pete Buttigieg when he was asked to give his impressions of some of the top Democratic presidential contenders.
Trump did not elaborate on why Buttigieg is his favored candidate and didn’t have anything negative to say about the young South Bend, Ind., mayor, other than that he doubted he’d win the crowded primary.The rest of his answers cast little doubt that Trump is eager to skewer his would-be opponents like he did the cast of GOP candidates in 2016.
After Biden officially entered the race early Thursday, Trump tweeted: “Welcome to the race Sleepy Joe.” During the interview, which was mostly a vent session for Trump about the Russia investigation, he mocked senior senators for supporting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, saying they stood “fawning behind her” while she was talking about her vision to combat both climate change and income inequality.
