The co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project has admitted that Donald Trump will secure victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Steve Schmidt said Joe Biden‘s team “gaslit America” in an explosive rant on X.
“I’ve been a Democrat for 5 years and started a group that helped elect Biden by raising 100 million and running a brilliant campaign that did 3.2 billion in ad impact,” Schmidt posted in response to a post accusing him of supporting Pass the Torch, a group running ads urging Biden to drop out.
“The imbeciles who architected the current disaster said it was ineffective. LOL. Biden called to say thanks.”

Biden never explicitly said he would not run for a second term as president, however, comments about being a “transitional” president suggested he would only complete one term, The Hill reported.
“Then he broke his promise and his team gaslit America and Trump is going to win,” Schmidt said in a follow-on post.
“In fact, he’ll win with a MAGA House and Senate.”
Then he broke his promise and his team gaslit America and Trump is going to win. In fact, he’ll win with a MAGA House and Senate. You keep tweeeting though. Your error rate is Trumpian.

Biden has made multiple gaffes in recent years, many of which he claimed he has spoken with people long deceased.
The president once claimed he spoke with former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who died in 2017.
He also said he spoke with former French President Francois Mitterrand, who passed away in 1996 (he said this not once, but twice.)
During a conference on hunger in September 2022, Biden asked for the whereabouts of Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski of Indiana. However, Walorski and two staffers were dead after being killed in a motor vehicle accident.
According to the RealClearPolling average of polls, Trump bow leads Biden by 3.0% in a national head-to-head matchup, with the lead expanding to 3.7% when Green Party candidate Jill Stein and independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, and Cornel West are included.
