Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch has told his associates he vouches for Joe Biden to win the elections rather than Donald Trump, as reported by a Daily Beast.
The way Trump has handled the pandemic COVID-19 is the cause for president's expected defeat, the billionaire forecasted. He remarked that the president is his own worst enemy and that he did not pay heed to the advice for the best way to handle the pandemic. Moreover, the President creates a crisis in the administration, according to three people Murdoch spoke to.
As per reports, Murdoch predicted that the next president will be Biden, telling one associate, "after all that has gone on, people are ready for Sleepy Joe." Though he didn't confirm about his comment on elections, he said "no comments except I didn't call Trump an 'idiot', starting to a 2018 report that he called the American president F***ing idiot, says Daily Beast.
While Fox News is reportedly a supporter of the present American President Donald Trump, the elder Murdoch's comment has created contradictions. With elections on the doorstep, the world awaits to know who is to lead America for the next four years.
