The Biden-Harris administration “ran the country off into a ditch,” according to CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, who previously served as former President George W. Bush’s special assistant and deputy director of political affairs. He also said that in light of this fact “you cannot leave the same people in charge.”
Jennings stated, in reference to Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night:
“What she did not do is take any amount of responsibility for her current job, which is Vice-President of the United States for the last three and a half years under Joe Biden. There was not an ounce of humility about the inflation gripping the country. She talked about immigration without talking about all the things that happened right up until this border bill that they had hung all their hats on over at the Biden White House.”
All the Harris pablum and platitudes aside, you can’t leave the same people in charge who’ve run the country into the ditch. My latest for @cnn wrapping up from Chicago. pic.twitter.com/0iyxhoz3Jg

“So to me, where the Republicans are going to be headed is all the pablum, all the platitudes, all that aside, you cannot leave the same people in charge. If you believe the country is on the wrong track, if you believe they made all the mistakes on the economy and on immigration, you cannot leave the same people in charge that have run the country off into the ditch. Until she comes up with a good answer for that, which I suspect will have to be litigated at the debate on September 10, Donald Trump is still in a very good position.” he continued.
