(The Hill) — Jon Favreau, a host of the political podcast “Pod Save America,” said during Friday’s episode that President Biden’s internal polling showed that President-elect Trump would win “400 electoral votes.”

“Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes,” Favreau said on the podcast in comments highlighted by Mediaite.

The “Pod Save America” hosts, who worked with Biden in the Obama White House, were among those leading the call for Biden to step aside as the democratic nominee this summer.

Favreau also called Biden’s reelection bid a “catastrophic mistake,” saying his “inner circle” refused to believe he was “unpopular.”

“They refuse to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation. And they just kept telling us that his presidency was historic and it was the greatest economy ever,” Favreau said.

A recent AP VoteCast study found that more than half of voters who said they were “very concerned about increases in household expenses, such as food and rent broke hard for Trump. According to the poll, those who identified the economy as a top priority also sided with the former president.

Favreau’s comment comes as Democrats played a blame game after Vice President Harris’s loss on Tuesday, with some questioning Harris’s economic message, saying it largely fell flat.

The Hill has contacted the White House press office for comment.
