President Biden once said he was "not certain" President Jimmy Carter could win a second term in the White House, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"That man’s in trouble, politically in trouble," Biden told the Wilmington Evening Journal in 1979. Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
According to the WSJ, "Biden had held off on publicly backing Carter because he wanted to endorse a candidate who would ensure Democrats retained the White House in the 1980 election. ‘I’m not certain that’s Jimmy Carter right now,’ he told the paper."
