President Trump would not have a had a chance at winning the election if former Vice President Joe Biden had entered the race for the White House, Republican Ben Sasse said.
“If Joe Biden would have run against Donald Trump, Biden would have won in a landslide,” the Nebraska senator told New York Times Magazine.
Sasse said he would “argue pretty vociferously” that Trump mainly won because he was running against Hillary Clinton.
Biden said last month that he regrets not running. “Although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won,” he said during a lecture at Colgate University.
Biden agonized over the decision after the death of his son, Beau, who had brain cancer. Ultimately, he said, the window to jump in the race eventually passed.
