Judge Judy dismisses Biden: ‘Do you see greatness?’
Judge Judy Sheindlin says she doesn’t see “greatness” in 2020 Democratic presidential front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden or any of the party’s candidates looking to take on President Trump outside of Michael Bloomberg, whom the popular TV personality has endorsed.
“You don’t see it in this field. You don’t see someone who can beat the president, other than Mike Bloomberg?” host Chris Cuomo asked Sheindlin on his CNN primetime show Monday night.
“That is correct,” she replied.
“Joe Biden can’t do it?” Cuomo followed up.
“You’ve been following politics your whole life,” Sheindlin said to Cuomo, the son of the late New York Gov. Mario Cuomo (D) and brother of current New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). “Do you see greatness?”
“I see greatness in the process,” the CNN host replied. “I see greatness in the prospects. It’s not my place to judge the different candidates.”
“I don’t necessarily have to judge them,” the TV judge responded after some crosstalk. “I just don’t think anyone matches Michael Bloomberg’s experience.”
The 77-year-old syndicated television host is on a media tour to advocate for the former New York mayor and billionaire businessman, who is currently rising in the polls but still 24 points behind Biden in the RealClearPolitics average. Bloomberg has 5.8 percent support, placing fifth overall among 2020 Democratic hopefuls.
“Judge Judy” is currently in its 24th season after launching in 1996. The program averages nearly 10 million viewers per airing.
