Former Obama aide and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett admitted on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast that he deliberately held back his concerns about President Joe Biden’s physical decline during the 2024 campaign.
Speaking with Stewart and fellow Pod Save America host Jon Favreau, Lovett explained that he chose not to raise the issue publicly because he wanted Biden “to f—— win.”
“I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president,’” Lovett said on the podcast. “A, because I didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but B, if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to f—— win.”
