Anthony Scaramucci, the former White House communications director, told Newsmax TV on Monday that former Vice President Joe Biden has the advantage in the 2020 election, but said to “never count out” President Donald Trump.
Scaramucci, who worked on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign before his brief stint in the White House, told “Newsmax Now” that the election is “Biden’s to lose right now, but if the economy recovers, you know the president, you can’t count him out.”
He noted that he was with the president in the fall of 2016 when the Access Hollywood tape recording of Trump making vulgar remarks was released publicly, and that people were saying then that Trump didn’t have a chance “and he won the election, so never count out President Trump.”
Scaramucci said that despite the coronavirus outbreak shutting down the economy, he is “optimistic that we get back on our feet,” and predicted that the U.S. will see a recovery “by late summer into the early fall.”
