Former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain has argued that his old boss, Democrat President Joe Biden, doesn’t need to roll out a major strategy to win in November.
In a revealing interview, Klain commented on the ongoing political dynamics between Biden and President Donald Trump.
Speaking on MSNBC with host Jen Psaki, Klain detailed the approach taken by Biden as we edge closer to the presidential election.
Klain argues that President Biden needs no elaborate strategy against Trump.
He claims that Trump’s actions are undermining his own political position, The Hill reported.
Klain highlighted that Biden is focusing on the stark contrast between their presidencies rather than engaging in a direct political battle.
He mentioned the importance of Biden’s campaign to emphasize these differences to the public.
According to Klain, President Biden allegedly thrives in the campaign environment.
Despite his lack of campaigning or rallies, Klain claims Biden naturally showcases his personality and connects with people.
“I think the president loves to campaign,” Klain alleged.
“He loves being out there with people.
“He loves working the rope live and engaging voters, and so he gets in a good mood when he’s out on the road, and so the jokes come,” Klain said.
This approach contrasts sharply with Trump’s tactics, according to Klain.
Klain suggests Trump’s tactics are harming his own campaign.
Klain shared insights into Biden’s recent engagement activities which he claims show off Biden’s “campaign style.”
Biden’s appearance on nontraditional media platforms, including an interview with Howard Stern, was discussed, where he openly talked about his personal life and his presidency.
He also noted the recent White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, where Biden criticized Trump.
Klain described it as a reflection of Biden’s comfort with candid and humorous public interactions.
However, Klain conveniently ignored the mounting gaffes made by Biden during his public appearances.
His recent false claims about his uncle being “eaten by cannibals” not only led to widespread mockery but it offended the people of Papua New Guinea and its leader.
His recent flubs while struggling to read his handlers’ script from the teleprompter have also exposed the president’s declining mental acuity.
Klain noted both political figures have secured their respective party nominations, hinting at a likely rematch in the upcoming presidential election.
Current polls suggest a close race between Biden and Trump, according to data from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.
Biden’s campaign strategy also includes reaching out through various media channels, a move praised by Klain.
He emphasized the significance of engaging with the electorate beyond traditional venues like the White House or the Rose Garden.
In discussing the necessity of nontraditional campaigning, Klain claimed that Biden risks being too isolated in the traditional settings of power.
He also stressed the importance of direct engagement with the public, despite Biden’s refusal to hold unscripted press briefings and take real questions from the media.
“I don’t think it’s a big political strategy to take down Donald Trump,” Klain said
“I think Trump is busy taking himself down every day.”
