Biden should avoid all interviews.
Former President Joe Biden has finally spoken out about his last-minute decision to step down from the 2024 presidential race, claiming it “wouldn’t have mattered” if he’d exited sooner. In a BBC interview aired Wednesday, Biden, now 82, attempted to explain away one of the most stunning political collapses in modern American history.
Biden Steps Aside—Too Late to Stop Trump
Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, just weeks after his disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump. The Democratic Party, already fractured and panicked, scrambled to rally behind Kamala Harris—but it was too little, too late. Despite raising nearly $1 billion in campaign cash, Harris failed to win over voters, losing both the Electoral College and the popular vote—a rare and humiliating outcome for the Democrats.
“We left with a good candidate,” Biden told the BBC. “She was fully funded.” But Americans clearly saw it differently.
Legacy in Question: Biden Says He Planned to Be ‘Transitional’
Biden claimed he always meant to be a one-term president, but admitted it was hard to step away. “Things moved so quickly,” he said, adding that the success of his agenda made it difficult to stop. Yet polls showed a public ready for change, with voters increasingly dissatisfied with inflation, foreign policy blunders, and open-border chaos under Democrat leadership.
Biden Warns of Putin—While Trump Pushes for Peace
Without naming Trump, Biden criticized the current administration’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, accusing President Trump of appeasing Putin. He rejected any deal that would involve Ukraine recognizing the loss of Crimea.
“If we allow a dictator to take land that isn’t his, we’re just encouraging him,” Biden said.
But President Trump’s administration has taken a different stance—seeking a realistic peace plan that avoids endless war and prioritizes America First foreign policy.
Trump’s Bold Global Strategy Draws Biden’s Ire
Biden also condemned Trump’s strategic vision, mocking his interest in reviving U.S. control of key global assets like Greenland, the Panama Canal, and energy-rich zones. But to many Americans, Trump’s leadership signals strength, foresight, and the kind of decisive action sorely missing under Biden.
“What kind of president talks like that?” Biden asked.
For millions of voters, the answer is: The one who wins.
Biden’s Exit Marks End of an Era of Weakness
In his final interview tour, Biden attempted to paint his presidency as a success. But history—and the voters—tell a different story. Americans chose to restore strong borders, rebuild the economy, and reclaim global respect under a Trump administration that puts the nation first.
