Former US Democratic presidential nominee and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has given some advice to Joe Biden ahead of the November battle for the White House between him and President Donald Trump.
Speaking on MSNBC on Friday, August 21, the former first lady said Trump’s irregularity as a candidate will make Biden have to navigate new waters. She advised Biden to be ready to debunk misinformation.
Clinton said “There was a lot to learn and it was a new experience for all of us. There was so much going on under the surface on social media, and I don’t think we did a good enough job being aware of and understanding the impact that such assertions and falsehoods could have. Try to get your message beyond the sort of reality show environment that [Trump] is trying to create so that the American people have an idea about why they would vote for you, not just against Donald Trump. Be prepared on that debate stage to be standing there with somebody unlike anyone you’ve been involved with before in politics, someone who lies with impunity, who literally will say anything, try to throw you off your game. They could win 3 million more votes, but not be on their way to the White House”
