“Joe Biden is no Barack Obama,” Laura Ingraham, host of ‘The Ingraham Angle‘ said on Fox News on Wednesday. “Now, Obama is almost 60, but he still has the swagger. You see it. He’s one of the most talented politicians of the last 50 years … But of course, they tried this — almost [along] the same lines in 2016 with Hillary Clinton. And they failed miserably.”

Democrats will argue that Biden is in a better position than Clinton was four years ago, Ingraham said, joking that the former vice president has two running mates — Kamala Harris and the coronavirus pandemic.

“But two problems with that,” she said. “Kamala, she’s too radical for most swing voters … And COVID is beginning to fade in the red states where people are going back to work, going back to school, playing football and they know this.”

Ingraham said voters who think a vote for Biden represents a third term for Obama should take a “reality check” and examine what Obama accomplished in office.

“His trade policy encouraged more outsourcing of American jobs to foreign countries,” she said. “He supported the Trans-Pacific Partnership, remember that? Which was so unpopular, even Hillary Clinton walked away from it when she campaigned. And Biden disingenuously, of course, claims he’d change it.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
