Joe Biden’s granddaughter snapped at David Axelrod for his remarks about the former vice president’s poor showing in the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary.
“Who would have predicted that @joeBiden and @ewarren would leave N.H. without a single delegate?” Axelrod, a CNN commentator who was a top White House aide and campaign strategist for former President Barack Obama, said in a tweet Tuesday night.
With 89% of precincts reporting results from the primary Wednesday morning, Biden is in fifth place with 8.4% of the vote, while Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is in fourth with 9.3%, both below the 15% nominating threshold to earn delegates at the Democratic National Convention.
“Disingenuous – you’ve been predicting his demise & doubting his resilience since beginning,” Naomi Biden tweeted in response to Axelrod. “There’s a difference between being entitled to an opinion & relishing a platform to disparage AND between journalism & being a jerk with a microphone. Up next ‘who’d of thought he’d win.'”

Naomi Biden is the daughter of Hunter, the former vice president’s youngest son, and a law school student in her mid-20s.
Expecting a poor showing in New Hampshire, Joe Biden skipped his campaign’s primary night party and fled to his “firewall” of South Carolina, where he hopes to hold strong support among black voters in the state.
