The Democrat party has no one to lean on.
Former President Joe Biden has stepped back into the spotlight — and even his own party is wishing he hadn’t.
After months of political silence, Biden resurfaced this week with a public speech in Chicago, criticizing President Trump’s policies. But instead of rallying support, his reappearance has sparked internal backlash from top Democratic strategists, donors, and even former staffers.
Democrat Civil War: Biden’s Comeback “Hurting More Than Helping”
Many Democrats blame Biden for the party’s brutal defeat in the 2024 election — and now say his return is reopening old wounds.
Michael LaRosa, former communications director to Jill Biden, spoke out, warning that Biden is “deeply out of touch” with the party’s mood. “There’s real anger and indifference toward the Bidens,” LaRosa said, adding that their presence “isn’t going away anytime soon.”
LaRosa also noted Biden’s reappearance was “a political gift” to President Trump and conservative media, who seized on the opportunity to remind voters of Biden’s failures.
Biden’s Speech Backfires, Fuels Conservative Momentum
In his Chicago remarks, Biden slammed the Trump administration’s Social Security policies and claimed the country had suffered “breathtaking damage” in fewer than 100 days. But the speech failed to land — and gave Trump supporters a fresh talking point.
Fox News and other major outlets ran nearly 48 hours of wall-to-wall coverage responding to Biden’s claims, turning his speech into prime-time fuel for conservative commentary.
Democrats Panic as Biden Approval Sinks Further
Polling data shows that Americans are still sour on Biden’s leadership. According to a CBS News poll, Trump’s economic approval dipped slightly from 48% to 44% — but Biden’s presence only reminds voters of the high inflation, weak borders, and failed foreign policy under his watch.
Even Democrat insiders admit it. Brad Bannon, a party strategist, said: “It’s a terrible time for Biden to reappear. He’s taking the spotlight off Trump and putting it right back on himself.”
Liberal Donors: “Nobody Is Asking for Biden’s Help”
Top Democrat donors have gone silent — or worse, openly critical. One long-time Biden supporter said: “No one is asking for his help. If he doesn’t see that, that’s the problem.”
After Biden offered to help fundraise for the DNC, the response was blunt: “Read the room.”
Biden’s Mental Fitness Again in Question After Latest Gaffe
While speaking privately at Harvard, Biden confused Ukraine with Iraq, forcing his own former adviser to correct him mid-conversation.
These moments only reignite public concern about Biden’s age and cognitive ability, which were central issues during his failed reelection bid in 2024.
Conclusion: Biden’s Return is a Win for Trump, a Loss for the Left
As President Trump focuses on restoring the economy, cutting waste, and securing America’s future, Biden’s reemergence is a painful reminder of the chaos many Americans were eager to move past.
Even among Democrats, the message is clear: it’s time for Joe Biden to quietly exit the stage.
