<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cnn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> pundit <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnns-scott-jennings-argues-immigration-is-killing-bidens-re-election-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scott Jennings</a> argued on Sunday that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> conceded that his campaign message about saving democracy is nothing but a &#8220;facade.&#8221;</p>
<p>During a discussion on &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; in which Jennings appeared with other panelists, the GOP strategist alluded to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-transcript-of-bidens-first-tv-interview-after-his-poor-debate-performance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden&#8217;s interview</a> on Friday after his poor debate performance against former President Donald Trump fueled concerns among supporters and others about his fitness to run and serve a second term.</p>
<p>In a clip that aired earlier in the segment, ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, &#8220;If you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you&#8217;re warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?&#8221; Biden, in response, said &#8220;as long as I gave it my all&#8221; that is &#8220;what this is about.&#8221;</p>

<p>&quot;The entire thesis of the campaign was &#39;democracy&#39; is on the ballot&#8230; And I heard Joe Biden admit that it&#39;s all just a facade, that it&#39;s all just a talking point.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/K2Q4Ktk2K9">pic.twitter.com/K2Q4Ktk2K9</a></p>

<p>Jennings asked if the panel could &#8220;talk about an issue&#8221; from the debate on Friday night.</p>
<p>&#8220;The entire thesis of the campaign was &#8216;democracy is on the ballot,'&#8221; Jennings said. &#8220;And when George Stephanopoulos asked him, &#8216;Well, if you lose and all these bad things come to pass, will you be okay with that?&#8217; And he said, &#8216;Well, as long as we gave it our all.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Jennings continued, &#8220;Now, if I was a Democrat who hasn&#8217;t blinked since January of 2017 or one of these Never Trumpers who&#8217;s worried about all this and I heard Joe Biden admit that it&#8217;s all just a facade, that it&#8217;s all just a talking point, I would be freaked out right now to find out there&#8217;s no animating issue for this campaign. It&#8217;s just a grift.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/sotu/date/2024-07-07/segment/01" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A rush transcript</a> shows two other guests on the panel, Democratic strategist Doug Thornell and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), pushed back on the critique from Jennings.</p>
<p>&#8220;An animating issue? It&#8217;s about character. It&#8217;s about your candidate, who is a convicted felon, who is a twice-impeached president, who is only out for himself, versus an honest and decent man who&#8217;s always put the American people first. That is the issue,&#8221; Thornell said.</p>
<p>Dingell added, &#8220;Who says he wants to be a dictator,&#8221; alluding to Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-predicts-biden-wont-be-dems-2024-nominee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pledge</a> to be a “dictator” only on the first day of his second term in order to tackle issues such as border security and drilling for energy.</p>
<p>Shermichael Singleton, a conservative political commentator at CNN, got in a word before a commercial break.</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem for the Democrats is viability. The president currently is not viable,&#8221; he said.</p>
