A Former White House aide has admitted he deliberately concealed his concerns over Joe Biden's declining health during the 2024 presidential campaign because he desperately 'wanted him to f*****g win' re-election.
Jon Lovett, an ex-Obama administration speechwriter and co-host of the popular liberal podcast 'Pod Save America', made the shocking confession during an appearance on Jon Stewart's 'The Weekly Show' podcast.
The 42-year-old political commentator told Stewart and his fellow Pod Save America host Jon Favreau that he chose to keep his worries about Biden's physical and mental condition to himself rather than share them publicly with his audience.
'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.'
