Republicans will give Democrats room to “cut their own throats” when scrambling to figure out how to proceed with the 2024 White House race after President Joe Biden‘s fumbling debate performance less than two weeks ago, a GOP senator said on Sunday.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) made the comment on “Sunday Morning Futures” after Fox News host Maria Bartiromo asked him who will be the running mate if Biden drops out and Vice President Kamala Harris ends up at the top of the ticket in the contest against former President Donald Trump.
“I don’t know who they’d pick,” Tuberville said in response. “We’re just going to stay out of their way and let them cut their own throats, to be honest with you. It’s a disaster.”
Moments earlier, Bartiromo noted Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) would be having a call with fellow leading House Democrats to discuss Biden and the 2024 race. She then asked Tuberville for his reaction to the crisis of confidence that Biden is facing from members of his own party.
“This has been a disgrace. It’s been a disgrace for 3.5 years,” Tuberville replied. “We have been talking to our Democratic colleagues in the Senate. They know what’s going on. Mainstream media has hid all this. Now they’re panicking and wondering what they’re going to do. They put the early debate just in case this happened. Well, it did happen.”
Biden “doesn’t know what day it is,” Tuberville said. “It’s unfortunate for Joe Biden. He’s sick. Nobody can help that. People do get old. They do get sick. But this is all about the Democrats’ power, they’re continuing to remain in power.”
Tuberville added, “Kamala Harris will probably be the candidate running against Donald Trump. That will be very interesting.”
As the conversation went on, Bartiromo asked Tuberville about conversations in the Senate about Biden’s mental fitness, to which Tuberville argued Biden is no longer in charge.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and former President Barack Obama have been “running the country,” he said, along with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
“Joe Biden hasn’t been making decisions. He might have [in the] first year had some say so about what’s going on, but he’s been out of it since after the first year in office. And you can tell by Schumer’s actions, Pelosi’s actions the first two years. They were calling the shots,” Tuberville said.
“So, hopefully, people understand that,” he added. “They have had total control, not the president, but Schumer and Pelosi and all the deep state. The deep state has total control of this. And, hopefully, we can get control of it and get the Democrats out of control and get Trump and all the Republicans running this country.”
