Not a Trump moment: Biden

Press Trust of India Washington
Even as all latest polls have indicated that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is headed towards an impressive victory, Vice President Joe Biden believes that it is not a Trump moment.

"I'm still not sure," Biden told Politico and The Washington Post in a joint interview when asked if this is like a Trump moment.

"You know, in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king. Has he gotten above 38 per cent in any primary? He's 38 per cent in the minority party - a minority within the minority party," he said.

"So I don't doubt that Trump moment. And, what is always the case in primaries, the most conservative and liberal elements of each party have a larger say than they do in the electoral process overall," Biden observed.
 

Responding to a question, he said Florida Senator Marco Rubio could have a moment.

"Well, Rubio, if he were a little sm-well, Marco Rubio could, but he missed it so far. That's why you see him now lurching towards Morning in America," he added.
