Jen O’Malley Dillon is Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s campaign manager.
President Donald Trump on November 3 tried to downplay his opponent’s campaign manager’s claim that “under no scenario” could he be re-elected, according to Fox News.
“That was a very weird quote,” he said on Fox & Friends on the morning of Election Day. “And I don’t know what she meant, except maybe she is talking about the very strange decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court that allows extra time and a lot of other things.”
“It allows for chaos, frankly. And so maybe she is talking about that. Maybe you can blow out Pennsylvania so you don’t have to do it,” the president continued.
O’Malley Dillon discussed the day before possible pathways for victory declarations, saying,
“Trump will try to go out there and declare victory in an unfounded way,” Fox News continued.
She added that Biden will “address the American people.”
Trump told Fox & Friends that he was not “intimidated” by Biden and claimed he had no idea who O’Malley Dillon was.
“I have no idea who she is. She has something to do with his campaign, I guess,” he continued. “No. It was a strange quote. It was not a smart quote either.”
