Van Jones suggested that President Biden appeal to Nikki Haley’s supporters by warning that if they back Donald Trump in 2024, they will see “Russian tanks rolling through Europe” within a year.
Jones was discussing Haley’s withdrawal from the 2024 GOP presidential race, leaving Trump as the presumptive nominee.
He argued this was a “heartbreaking” moment that makes Ukrainians fighting Russian invasion feel more alone and afraid for democracy both in America and globally.
“From my heart, I tell you, this is a heartbreaking moment, and not just for people in the United States,” Jones said. “If you’re a Ukrainian soldier, looking at a wall of Russians coming at you, and having to ration your bullets, today is a bad day because one of the great champions of the United States being strong for our allies, strong for democracy, just went down in defeat today. And you feel more alone and more afraid of the future. If you’re in Poland, if you’re in Europe, and you’re looking at a wall of Russians coming for you, and saying, where’s the United States? Today is not a good day.”
When asked what Biden needs to do to earn Haley’s donors, Jones said Biden should tell them that endorsing Trump will result in witnessing “horror across Europe” requiring American soldiers to intervene militarily rather than financially, alluding to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea under Obama and 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine under Biden.
“This is a bad day for democracy,” Jones said. “Not just in the United States, but around the world.”
“What does President Biden need to do at this point to earn those Nikki Haley supporters, bring them into the fold?” Jim Acosta asked. “We saw the Biden campaign putting out a statement from President Biden almost immediately after Nikki Haley walked off that stage in South Carolina. What do you think?”
“I think he needs to talk to her donors and her supporters and say, if you want to, a year from now, watch Russian tanks rolling through Europe, then, you know, endorse Donald Trump and get on that bandwagon,” Jones said. “But understand, you’re going to wake up one morning and you’re going to see horror across Europe and you’re going to have American soldiers, sailors having to go over there and do something that we could have done with dollars, we have to do with blood.”
