Sen. Mitt Romney on Wednesday said that Donald Trump and President Joe Biden debating next month will be like “those two old guys on ‘The Muppets.’”
“I know debates were important to you. They certainly got you a lot of momentum in 2012. Do you think they matter today? In many ways, we know a lot about the two people running. Do you think it will impact votes, maybe even your vote?” MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle asked the senator.
“Well, the image that comes to mind is those two old guys on ‘The Muppets,’ you know, that sat in the balcony,” the Utah Republican said.
“Statler and Waldorf,” Ruhle added.
“Yes. Statler and Waldorf, all right. That's what comes to mind,” Romney said. “I actually think there will be a huge audience for these debates. I think people have very low expectations as to what President Biden will do. I think they have much higher expectations about President Trump and his competitiveness.”
“What are your expectations?” Ruhle asked.
“Well, I share the public's perceptions,” Romney replied. “We'll see what happens.”
