Fmr DNC Press Sec. Defends Biden’s Gaffes: Voters Will Be Talking About Kitchen Table Issues, Not Biden

EXCERPT:

PAUSTENBACH: "No, I think it really isn't. When families are going to be traveling or being with their kids this weekend over Memorial Day, what they’re going to be talking about are going to be kitchen table issues, the economy and health care. What they are not necessarily going to be talking about is vice president Biden and what he may have said a week ago. You know, every time something comes up, whether that is with respect to a debate or whatnot, or just movements because this race is relatively fluid, even though the vice president is clearly in the lead, every time someone counts them out, the voters say, 'We like Joe Biden, we want him to be in the White House.' This last week you've seen three different national polls were he has been up by 13 points. So I really don’t think it’s going to matter to Democratic primary voters."
