Valerie Jarrett Said Joe Biden Would Make A "Terrific President"

Former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said she thinks Joe Biden would make a “terrific president,” but she won’t endorse anyone in the crowded Democratic primary right now.

“I think right now in the Democratic Party we have an embarrassment of riches,” Jarrett said on BuzzFeed News’ Profile. “I think it’s also early ... I want to see how they do.” Jarrett did say, however, she’s speaking to many of the candidates, including Elizabeth Warren and Biden, about the primary.

Jarrett added that she wants to see the candidates running for the nomination not harshly attack each other over the course of the primary.

“Don’t beat up on the other guys and gals in the race so much that when we emerge from the primary with a nominee that that person is in a weakened state,” Jarrett said. “Keep your eye on the prize, which is the general election.”

“I’m not interested in what you think about the other guy, I can formulate my own opinions about that person,” Jarrett added. “Tell me why I should believe in you.”
