Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci agreed with former Vice President Joe Biden’s assessment that he is the most qualified candidate to run for president in 2020, but argued the former VP would have a “tough time” debating someone like President Trump.

He is most qualified and I like Vice President Biden but he’s gonna have a tough time debating somebody like President Trump,” he told “Fox and Friends” Wednesday morning. “If you look at Vice President Biden’s career, every time Biden goes into contact with the enemy, he fumbles the football on the stage.”

During a speech at the University of Montana this week, Biden acknowledged his past mistakes in the political sphere, but said he thinks he’s more qualified than anyone else to throw his hat in the 2020 ring.
