A Republican pundit is being called out for saying President Joe Biden should drop out of the race and citing a poll that also shows most people think Donald Trump should be running either.

Republican Scott Jennings, appearing on CNN Sunday, declared that Biden “is compromised” and should quit the race. “It is a scandal what we’ve been told and what we’re now hearing and what we all saw with our own eyes on Thursday,” hetold CNN’s Alisyn Camerota.

Towards the end of the segment, Jennings referenced a CBS News/YouGov poll that showed 72% of American voters don’t think Biden should be running for President.

Camerota pointed out that the same poll found that 54% of Americans don’t think Trump should run, either, bringing up an on-screen graphic.

Democratic strategist Maria Cardona, appearing on the same segment, conceded that there are concerns about Biden’s fitness amid speculation about potential replacements. 

Cardona admitted there is “concern” in the Democratic Party after Thursday, but there are no plans to change their candidate. “No one is calling for President Biden to step aside,” she said.
