President Joe Biden doesn’t seem to be able to “compute” the reality of concerns people have about him, CNN senior political commentator and former Obama administration official David Axelrod said after watching the president’s interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, which Axelrod said in some aspects was “sad” to watch.
Axelrod was among the panelists and commentators who joined CNN’s analysis after the interview aired, and told anchor Jim Sciutto that Biden did not do anything to “change the minds of voters” who doubt his ability to win in November or govern in a second term in office.
It’s an observation several analysts have made and seems proven out as elected Democrats continue to call for a change to the ticket despite the president’s effort in the interview.
“He seems not to be able to compute the fact that people have these questions about him,” Axelrod said.
