Dick Morris, a former advisor to former President Bill Clinton, has sounded the alarm for President Joe Biden and his chances to get reelected.

He spoke to Newsmax and said that he did not believe Biden’s shots at former President Donald Trump were landing.

“Fundamentally, Biden has no issues,” he said to “Saturday Report.” “There is nothing he has going for him. He has nothing to say. He has no issues.

“His negatives on Trump are really not landing, and I think they’re very likely to backfire,” he said.

The “get Trump” legal maneuvers by Democrat attorney generals and district attorneys with the media attacks are going to backfire on them, he said.

“The Democrats, in a Hail Mary, desperate move, are essentially saying we’re going to devote the next 6-8 weeks of this presidential race talking about Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump, and who was paid, and what they were paid for, and was that really hush money, and above all, the tiny technical issue of were you paying them out of campaign funds or out of personal funds?” he said. “I believe that the public is just gonna go crazy.

“I think they can look at this and say, ‘Are you kidding me? With the international situation we have, and dangers we face, and the economy as the inflation ticking back up, you’re going to tell me to vote for Biden based on this?’” he said.

He also said that his attempts to purchase young voters with his student loan forgiveness plans will not work.

“He’s obviously doing it because his ratings with young voters is way down,” he said. “He has always been able to count on voters under 30 as the stalwart base for the Democratic Party, and now, he can’t. They’re increasingly going over to Trump, and he’s hoping that the debt issue and the payoffs will buy him enough support to overcome that.”

He said that the lockdowns from COVID are playing a role in young voters coming to former President Trump.

“But I think we are fundamentally misreading why under-30 voters are coming to Trump,” the political analyst said. “It’s obviously large by the economy, but it’s also the invisible scar that’s left on that generation by the lockdowns: Being told that you can’t date, you can’t work, you can’t go out for teams, and basically, you can’t have your childhood.

He said that he believes that young voters will see that the president’s student debt forgiveness plans are an attempt to purchase their votes, and they will be offended.

“I think it may stick in their mind the other way,” he said. “They may see it as just B.S. They may also fear that it’s going to be reversed by the court and it smacks up such desperation and such crass buying of votes.

“I’m not sure it’s going to come through unscathed. I think the underlying facts of the economy, their ruined adolescence, the lockdowns, and the tyranny they saw, then I think they very likely will continue the move toward Trump,” he said.

A legal expert blasted Joe Biden earlier this week after the president made another announcement on the campaign trail that his administration planned to forgive more student loans, despite a previous U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said the move was unconstitutional.

In June 2023, the nation’s highest court ruled 9-0 in Dept. of Education v. Brown that the Biden administration’s plan to erase up to $10,000 in federal student loan debt for borrowers and up to $20,000 for recipients of Pell Grants was illegal.

In a separate but similar case, Biden v. Nebraska, the justices ruled 6-3 against Biden’s student loan giveaway scheme.
