A CNN political commentator claimed that no one on the network’s panel discussing the primary election supports President Trump’s reelection campaign.
Alexandra Rojas, who was a campaign organizer for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2016 White House bid, made the remark during Tuesday’s coverage of the night’s presidential primaries. She was specifically addressing how Sanders supporters feel about Biden being the presumptive nominee and what the former vice president needs to do to solidify the Democratic electorate.
“What I think that means right now is that millennials, we want Donald Trump to be defeated too,” she explained. “I think there’s nobody here that does not want Donald Trump to be defeated. And I think the question that I would ask — that I think Joe Biden, as what looks like to be the presumptive nominee, who needs to focus on also unifying the party, is the fact that millennials are going through their second recession right now. And you have to be able to appeal to them.”
Others members of the panel included Democratic former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (who endorsed Biden on-air last month), former Obama adviser David Axelrod, CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger, and anchor Anderson Cooper. Neither Borger nor Cooper objected to Rojas’s point.
Biden all but locked up the Democratic nomination with decisive wins in three primaries Tuesday night, including Florida, Illinois, and Arizona.
