Sen. Michael Bennet on Tuesday gave the harshest public assessment yet among Senate Democrats of President Joe Biden’s candidacy, telling CNN that he believes Biden “cannot win” in November, in line with prior reporting by the network on what he told his Democratic colleagues in the Senate during a private lunch meeting in the Capitol earlier in the day.
“I just think this race is on a trajectory that is very worrisome if you care about the future of this country,” Bennet told The Source anchor Kaitlan Collins, as internal discord in the Democratic Party over Biden’s candidacy stretches into its second full week. “Donald Trump is on track, I think, to win this election and maybe win it by a landslide and take with him the Senate and the House.”
While polls have generally shown Biden losing to Trump in most battleground states, Bennett said that was irrelevant to him.
