...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...has tried to avoid saying he would end fossil fuels if he’s elected president, but that wasn’t the impression he gave during Thursday night’s debate."I would transition from the oil industry, yes," Biden said during the debate. "It’s a big statement because the oil industry pollutes significantly. ... It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time."
As The Daily Wire previously reported, Biden also made confusing remarks about his energy plan after the debate.
"They’re not going to lose their jobs. A lot more jobs are going to be created in other industries," Biden said at the time. "Eventually we’re going to have to go to all — we’re not going to be able to get rid of fossil fuels, getting rid of the subsidies for fossil fuels. But we’re not going to get rid of fossil fuels for a long time."
Biden’s deputy campaign manager and communications director Kate Bedingfield attempted to "clarify" what Biden said at the debate to Washington Post news hound Annie Linskey. Linkskey reported that Bedingfield said Biden was simply referring to oil subsidies.
Politico reported Friday evening, however, that the damage control didn’t stop there.
"On Friday, his running mate Kámala Harris

reaffirmed the ticket’s support for fracking. And two members of Congress from oil- and gas-rich areas immediately distanced themselves from the Democratic nominee," the outlet reported.

used Biden’s remarks to shore up votes in Pennsylvania, Democrats in the state tried to shrug off the problem.
"I don’t think it’s going to be an issue," said Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D-PA). "I think if you are fundamentally committed to or work in that industry, you’ve already made up your mind."
