Biden Reflects on Exit and Loss to Trump, Raising Questions About Legacy

In a recent interview, President Biden expressed belief he could have defeated Trump, while his withdrawal and Harris' loss prompt scrutiny of Democratic strategy.

  • President Joe Biden, in a USA Today interview, stated he believes he could have won re-election against Donald Trump, though polling and his approval ratings suggest otherwise.
  • Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race in July followed mounting pressure from Democratic leaders amid concerns about his age, performance, and electability.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee, was unable to secure victory over Trump, leading to internal party criticism and second-guessing of Biden's exit.
  • Reports indicate Biden faced significant resistance from party leadership, with claims of coercion to step down, including alleged threats involving the 25th Amendment.
  • Biden’s presidency, marked by legislative successes but also notable challenges, now faces a complicated legacy as he nears the end of his term.
