'All Biden's fault,' says US presidential campaign specialist

US President Joe Biden "acted like an outsider," "made a lot of really critical errors" and ultimately "put himself in the position" that led him to drop out of the US presidential election, an analyst tells AFP. Keith Nahigian, who has worked on eight presidential campaigns and served in the White House during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, says the announcement "is a big win for President Trump and Vance."

00:00he's probably not going to win on the first ballot. And after the first ballot,
00:03all of the superdelegates can vote. And when they all can vote, who knows where it's going to go.
00:08Anybody, any ticket can win. And that is a messaging disaster for the Democrat Party.
00:15You're basically four weeks out from early voting at that point, and you don't even have
00:20your candidate, let alone the message of what you're running on. This is a big win for President
00:25Trump and Vance because they just spent the last week really consolidating, unifying their base
00:32and their party and laying out the contrasts for main areas, whether the inflation,
00:39national security, keeping people strong and safe. What is this other side? And they're not
00:45going to have much time to introduce themselves, get the messaging straight with people voting
00:51four weeks later. For them to do a debate before the conventions was a stupid, stupid move. And
00:58Biden's performance created this problem. But they didn't have to have a debate until after
01:04the nomination. He was going to get the nomination. And if he would have just played it straight,
01:09gotten the nomination, done a couple of debates afterwards, I think it would be a different game.
01:14But he did this to himself. That's why he had to make the decision to back out.
01:18This is the most important statement they've ever written during their last year. And you can't get
01:23your act straight on how you're doing it. But it shouldn't have ever been a statement. I think it's
01:28wimpy. And I don't think it's fair. The American public wants to see from him. He talks about he's
01:33going to do it later this week. But I don't think that's good leadership at all. And either at that
01:38convention, they button everything up to make it into a show to launch their ticket. But if it turns
01:45which will be an advantage, and they'll get a bump from that, but if it turns into a
01:51fractional war, then it's over. Going back, I think this was all Biden's fault. I think he made
01:57a lot of really critical errors. He's the power of the incumbent in an election. And he acted like
02:04the outsider. He didn't have to do that debate. He didn't have to do all these things. But he put
02:09himself in the position that where this letter had to come out today was all him and him only.
