Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he could still see a scenario in which Democrats might be forced to remove President Joe Biden from the party’s 2024 ticket.
Trump made the comments during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt — where he also discussed his reaction to Biden’s debate challenge, issued earlier that morning in a 14-second video that included 5 jump cuts and the president suggesting that Trump “make my day.”
“President Biden just issued you a debate challenge for June and September with the veeps talking in July. Do you accept?” Hewitt asked, and Trump said that he did.
“Oh, absolutely. I’ve been trying to get, you know, he’s issuing it. I wonder whether or not he shows up, because you know, he also challenged me to golf. So I’m a very good golfer. He can’t hit a ball 50 yards. He said I’ll give him three a side, but he knows he’ll never play. This is sort of like that, I think. But I hope not, because I really think he has to debate.”
Trump went on to say that as far as Biden was concerned, sooner was probably better. “He might as well get it over with, probably should do it early so that he can, you know, because he’s not going to get any better. … Every day is a down factor for him.”
“Do you think if his infirmity increases, they will dump him, Mr. President, at the convention, replace him with Kamala or Gavin or someone like that?” Hewitt pressed.

“I do. I do,” Trump said, adding, “I don’t think they’ll have a choice.”
Hewitt pressed again, asking Trump who he thought might be chosen to fill that position: “Will it be Gavin? Will it be Kamala or somebody else?”
“I don’t know. I mean, Gavin’s a terrible governor, Gavin Newscum, he’s a terrible governor,” Trump said. “I think he does a terrible job.”
Trump went on to say that he thought California was “so beautiful” and it was terrible to see how Newsom was governing the state.
“Everything is so good, but he just does a terrible job,” Trump said.
