Joe and Jill Biden’s Offer to Help Democrats Faces Divided Reception
As the Democratic Party struggles with low approval ratings and leadership challenges, the Bidens’ proposal to assist with fundraising and campaigning sparks mixed reactions.
- 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.
