“I think the election was great last night,” Trump said. “It was a great comeback for Joe Biden.”
Speaking to reporters during a press briefing with airline executives on the coronavirus at the White House on Wednesday, President Trump said he thought the Super Tuesday Democratic primary results were “great” — for him, naturally.
Trump mused that Biden now “has an easier path” to the nomination. But after months spent mischievously tweeting warnings that the Democratic establishment would try to steal the nomination from Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist from Vermont, Trump began laying the groundwork for a line of attack against the former vice president, who has positioned himself as a moderate centrist in the race.
Trump also took a gleeful shot at billionaire former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who dropped out of the race on Wednesday morning after a dismal showing despite spending nearly $500 million toward his run, about $312 million of that on advertising alone. The president estimated Bloomberg actually spent twice that.
He seemed particularly peeved at Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who has vowed to stay in the race even though she has failed to win a single caucus or primary, including the one in her home state of Massachusetts, where Biden scored a surprise win.
