On Tuesday’s edition of FNC’s “Hannity,” Trump surrogate Vivek Ramaswamy hailed President Joe Biden’s recent “garbage” comments as the GOP’s “October surprise.” Ramaswamy suggested that Biden’s family may be secretly rooting for Trump to win the election, citing their potential motivations as a factor in the president’s unguarded remarks.
Ramaswamy drew parallels between Biden’s comments and Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark in 2016, which he believed tanked her campaign. However, he also speculated that Biden’s family may be actively working against Kamala Harris, who is expected to be Biden’s successor, due to feelings of vengeance towards the Democratic Party.
Regardless of the motivations behind Biden’s comments, Ramaswamy saw the incident as a welcome development for the GOP. He argued that the Democratic Party is “spiraling” and “flailing” in their efforts to discredit Trump, and that their accusations of threats to democracy are falling flat with American voters.
Ramaswamy expressed confidence that Trump’s record of accomplishments will ultimately win out over the Democratic Party’s attempts to undermine him. He described the situation as “beautiful” for the GOP, suggesting that it is a prime opportunity for Trump to capitalize on the Democratic Party’s mistakes and secure a second term in office.
