CNN political commentator Scott Jennings, who previously served as a special assistant and deputy director of political affairs under former President George W. Bush, remarked that the Biden-Harris administration had driven the country “off into a ditch.” He further emphasized, “you cannot leave the same people in charge.”

Jennings made the remarks while Speaking of Kamala Harris’ acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night.

“What she did not do is take any amount of responsibility for her current job, which is Vice-President of the United States for the last three and a half years under Joe Biden. There was not an ounce of humility about the inflation gripping the country. She talked about immigration without talking about all the things that happened right up until this border bill that they had hung all their hats on over at the Biden White House,” Jennings said,  “So to me, where the Republicans are going to be headed is all the pablum, all the platitudes, all that aside, you cannot leave the same people in charge. If you believe the country is on the wrong track, if you believe they made all the mistakes on the economy and on immigration, you cannot leave the same people in charge that have run the country off into the ditch. Until she comes up with a good answer for that, which I suspect will have to be litigated at the debate on September 10, Donald Trump is still in a very good position.”

CNN commentator Kate Bedingfield, who served as White House Communications Director in the Biden administration from 2021 to 2023, insisted The country wants to see change.

“She’s embracing that,” Jennings replied, “If the people walk into the voting booth and say, ‘Who gave me better results, Trump or Biden and Harris? Would you take that right now? Would you take that bet?”
