CNN Analyst Makes Major revelation On Democrats, Joe Biden
CNN political director David Chalian commented that President Joe Biden’s Thursday speech in Maryland highlighted why Democrats are thrilled to have replaced him with Vice President Kamala Harris as the presumptive nominee.
In their first joint appearance since Biden withdrew from the race, Biden and Harris spoke about their efforts to reduce drug prices, according to The New York Times. During “CNN News Central,” Chalian remarked that while Biden managed to avoid any major mistakes, he appeared old and didn’t seem like the ideal presidential candidate.
“I think in that one display, we saw why Democrats are so thrilled that Joe Biden is not their candidate anymore, just from his performance and his ability to complete thoughts … I’m not suggesting he had a meltdown. I’m just saying, you see the 81-year-old man that they are relieved is no longer their standard bearer for the election going forward for the future. But you also see the appreciation they have for really popular policies such as lowering prescription drugs, something Democrats have been talking about on the campaign trail for years,” he added. “And now he got it done. So there’s the real appreciation and the real satisfaction that they don’t need to be rallying around him for this campaign season.”

The Maryland speech marked a celebration of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announcing the outcomes of Medicare’s negotiations with pharmaceutical companies, as reported by the NYT.
The Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act granted Medicare the authority to negotiate with these companies to reduce prescription drug costs, according to the CMS.

The report noted that if these negotiated prices had been in place in 2023, Medicare “would have saved an estimated $6 billion.” The new pricing will come into effect at the start of 2026.
“This is a fight all of us have been fighting for a long time: taking on Big Pharma,” the president said during the rally, according to the NYT.
