I just wanted to give you the explanation you asked for.

Though I would say that it is not correct to say "He tried to mortally harm Obama's reelection" because, after all, he decided not to pursue the idea. Unless you think that merely the conversation about it was enough to create actual damage. But I kinda think it is unlikely that that interview cost Obama any votes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
