Smith ridiculed Axelrod’s claims, sarcastically stating that of course it’s too late to replace Biden – the Democrats are stuck with their lackluster candidate now. Smith emphasized Axelrod’s acknowledgment that the issue was timely a year ago, highlighting the Democrats’ missed opportunity to address the glaring inadequacies of their nominee.
Giving a brief background on Axelrod, Smith reminded readers that he was the chief political strategist for former President Barack Obama, questioning Axelrod’s judgment in dismissing the current discussions as irrelevant. With Axelrod’s past involvement in successful campaigns, Smith pointed out that his current stance may not hold much merit.

Smith scoffed at Obama’s assertion that Biden’s history of fighting for ordinary people somehow outweighs his lackluster debate skills. Ridiculing Obama’s contrast between Biden’s alleged truthfulness and Trump’s supposed lies, Smith highlighted the irony in Obama’s defense of a candidate known for his gaffes and inconsistencies.
In conclusion, Smith teased the ongoing power struggle within the Democratic party. With progressives clamoring for Biden’s replacement and party stalwarts like Obama rallying to support him, Smith left readers wondering which faction will emerge victorious in the battle for the Democratic ticket.
