Chris Matthews suggests that President Biden’s White House staff should encourage him to engage with the public, make appearances, give speeches, and connect with regular people to boost his image.
Chris Matthews said, “I have been thinking about this constantly for months, what I would do in the back room. I used to be in the back room with these guys, with Tip O’Neill. You can help people in certain ways, get them to do a little more — I think one thing we learned from the Republican candidate in Nassau County last night, you can’t hide from the voters. She did not go out there and meet with the voters.”
“You know, maybe she had grown up in Ethiopia, went to Israel, and fought in the IDF, which sounded good but she wasn’t out there with the people,” he continued.
“Biden will have to get out there and mix it up. He’s going to have to get on the corner and meet people and hang out with regular people, and give some speeches and perk people up like Harry Truman did in 1948. You have to sell. You have to sell yourself. He has to do it,” insisted the MSNBC host.
“He may make some problems along the way. He will make more gaffes. Of course, he will. But isn’t it better to have him out there?” Matthews suggested.
“Sit next to him on an Amtrak train and you know you are with a real human being, a real person. It’s really Joe Biden who is sitting next to you. He’s a real person and he has to get out with people. I’m not sure Trump is a real person that way. He’s not really like a regular person that way whereas Joe Biden is. And I think he should sell it. Show it out himself,” he encouraged.
“Take the chances, that’s what I’d say. And tell some jokes, enjoy life. The joke about being older, of course, that’s what Reagan did, it works. You have to laugh at yourself,” added Matthews.
He believes Biden should embrace his age and show his authenticity, similar to how Reagan and Bobby Kennedy did.
Matthews emphasizes the importance of Biden being out there, making some gaffes along the way, and showcasing his genuine personality to the public.
