It’s been three weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election and endorsed Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump still doesn’t seem to have made peace with it.
“A month ago, he was basically already the president,” Stewart remarked in his Monday monologue. “He had cheated death, started a new ear accessory trend. Back then, people thought his VP selection was a smart choice. He had it all in the bag, and it was taken away.”
The recurring Daily Show host recounted Trump’s recent campaign fumbles, from his “Kamabla” nickname attempt to his false story about a near helicopter crash with former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown. Stewart also played clips of Trump’s rallies before and after Biden’s departure, and was disappointed that Trump’s rhetoric had barely changed.
