CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, who served as former President George W. Bush’s special assistant as well as his deputy director of political affairs, stated that the Biden-Harris administration ran the country “off into a ditch,” adding, “you cannot leave the same people in charge.”

Speaking of Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night, Jennings stated, “What she did not do is take any amount of responsibility for her current job, which is Vice-President of the United States for the last three and a half years under Joe Biden. There was not an ounce of humility about the inflation gripping the country. She talked about immigration without talking about all the things that happened right up until this border bill that they had hung all their hats on over at the Biden White House.”

“So to me, where the Republicans are going to be headed is all the pablum, all the platitudes, all that aside, you cannot leave the same people in charge,” he went on. “If you believe the country is on the wrong track, if you believe they made all the mistakes on the economy and on immigration, you cannot leave the same people in charge that have run the country off into the ditch. Until she comes up with a good answer for that, which I suspect will have to be litigated at the debate on September 10, Donald Trump is still in a very good position.”

After fellow CNN commentator Kate Bedingfield, who served as White House Communications Director in the Biden administration from 2021 to 2023, insisted, “The country wants to see change. She’s embracing that,” Jennings replied, “If the people walk into the voting booth and say, ‘Who gave me better results, Trump or Biden and Harris? Would you take that right now? Would you take that bet?”

He added, “I think people have looked back over the whole thing and said, my God, we traded in somebody who gave us a good economy for somebody who claimed to be the adults in the room, and they never acted like adults one time,” continuing later, “The last time the Biden-Harris team showed up and told you the adults are now back in the room, everything they did from that point forward proved that they were not. Whether it was on Afghanistan, whether it was on the economy, whether it was on the border, they told you the competent, moderate, dealmaking adults were back, just like she’s arguing right now, and it was a total lie. They could not deliver on it.”

He said Trump could argue, “And when I was in office, yes, maybe you don’t like some of the stuff I say, but you had money in your pocket, the border was secure, America was respected around the world.”
