Rendell Says Biden Is ‘Baked In’ As Nominee

August 25, 2019 · 7:57 am ET · Leave a Comment

Former DNC chairman Ed Rendell said that he believes former Vice President Joe Biden has locked in the Democratic Party’s 2020 nomination for president, The Hill reports.

Said Rendell: “I think Joe Biden is baked in. People say, oh well, he makes gaffes. Well, the American people have followed him for 40 years, and they know he makes gaffes. It’s part of his charm But it’s baked in. No one seems to hold it against him. They believe he’s a smart, decent guy. He’s got a good heart. And he’s effective at government.”

He added: “I think in the end, Joe Biden will prevail. But you can’t be sure of that. Elizabeth Warren is coming on very strong. She’s a good campaigner. Bernie has a resolute following… You just don’t know how this is going to shake out.”
