Overview

• Joe Biden met with DNC Chairman Ken Martin in February to offer his support in rebuilding the Democratic Party through fundraising and campaigning.
• The Democratic Party is facing historically low approval ratings, with only 27% of registered voters viewing the party positively, according to a recent NBC News poll.
• Opinions within the party are split on Biden’s involvement, with some seeing him as a liability tied to the 2024 election loss and others considering him an asset in select contexts like Scranton, Pennsylvania.
• Jill Biden has also expressed a willingness to assist the party, emphasizing her sense of responsibility to contribute to its recovery efforts.
• Critics, including former Biden aides, have dismissed the Bidens’ offer as out of touch, arguing the party should focus on younger, unifying leadership.
