Former Vice President Joe Biden would “win overwhelmingly” against President Donald Trump in 2020 and is the only “superstar” the Democrats could run for the White House, a former Democratic National Committee chairman said Sunday.
“There's only one person I can say who will definitely win the election and has a superstar appeal in almost every state in the union, and that's Vice President Biden,” Ed Rendell said on John Catsimatidis’ AM 970 radio show in New York.
“To me it’s clear-cut: Joe Biden is our superstar,” Rendell added. “If he decides to run I think he will win overwhelmingly.”
Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor who led the DNC from 1999 to 2001, noted that age might be the biggest factor working against Biden, who turned 75 in November. But in a race against the 71-year-old Trump, who is the oldest first-term president in American history, Rendell said age would only be a number.
“Of course, people say [Biden's] too old. But he's only a year and a half older than President Trump, and he's in infinitely better shape,” Rendell said.
“I don't think age would be a factor in a Biden-Trump election.”
Someone who shares Rendell’s work history recently argued the opposite. Howard Dean, who was DNC chair from 2005 to 2009, said last week that he believes old people such as himself need to “get the hell out of politics” for 2020 and make way for a younger generation of leaders. Dean specifically cited Biden and Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who is 76, as popular potential candidates who he said are not what the country will need.

Let us pray that he runs more ways than one.
Please. All we’d have to do is run a montage of all the photos of him hovering creepily over women and children with his hands all over the place and that would be it.
He could say, “Stand up, Krauthammer” when campaigning.
Did Biden eve crack 3% in past primaries?
until Trump nicknames him Groping Joe.
Good Lord. Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe these people.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...LMAO....did I say bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
How big can a crock of crap get?? These DemocRAT crooks will say ANYTHING in their constant effort to write the future -— living in their faux world.
Crooked Hillary and Creepy Joe
Baloney!
The Delusional Lying Left. Will they EVER go way?
“Groping Joe”
LMAO! Perfect.
Fast Eddie must be dreaming again. Somebody wake him up.
Their delusion is complete
The idiots said the same thing about Hitlery.
I heard from every liberal I know that there was no way Trump was going to win.
Exactly.
That’s silly, Trump already lost in 2016 why would he run again in 2020?
This isn’t even fake news aimed at Trump. It’s fake news aimed at Kamala Harris supporters, and is intended to aid the viability of a white male Dem candidate like Seth Moulton.
If Ed Rendell said it, you gotta believe it.
