Still clueless, Joe.
During his first major sit-down interview since leaving the Oval Office, former President Joe Biden claimed that it wouldn’t have mattered if he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race earlier. Mr. Biden also made the claim that his agenda was “so successful,” despite plummeting poll numbers.
“I don’t think it would have mattered,” Biden told BBC host Nick Robinson in his first interview since leaving the White House. “We left at a time when we had a good candidate,” Biden added, speaking of Kamala Harris, who became the de facto Democratic nominee.
“It was a hard decision,” Biden said. “I think it was the right decision. It was just a difficult decision.”
Pressed on whether he stayed in the race too long, Biden shrugged off the criticism: “I don’t think so… I don’t know how that would have made much difference.”
Biden also suggested he was simply too effective to pass the torch. “I’d become so successful in our agenda, it was hard to say, ‘I’m going to stop now.’”
