Biden Reflects on 2024 Election Exit, Asserts He and Harris Could Have Defeated Trump

President Joe Biden says stepping aside was necessary to unify the Democratic Party, despite his confidence in defeating Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden stated he believes both he and Vice President Kamala Harris could have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
Biden withdrew from the race in July 2024 after a poor debate performance and internal pressure from Democratic Party leaders.
He emphasized that his decision to step aside was driven by the need to maintain party unity ahead of the election.
Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee, ultimately lost to Donald Trump in a Republican sweep of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives.
Biden expressed confidence in Harris's future political potential, suggesting she is capable of running again in 2028.
