Debate Reaction: Steve Schmidt Says CNN Debate was "Disaster of the 1st Magnitude" for Biden

Jun 28, 2024 | Steve Schmidt reacts to the first presidential debate between President Biden and Donald Trump. He says it was a "disaster of the first magnitude" for Biden. He says that the Democratic Party will have a "Chernobyl-level panic" and predicts calls for Biden to step aside in the 2024 election for younger, rising stars in the party to go at the top of the ticket. "The election that no one wanted, revealed itself tonight. And there's just no way that Joe Biden can stay on the ticket and lead the Democratic Party to certain catastrophic defeat, turning the country over to the greatest threat to its democracy since the Confederacy."
