He Owns It: Biden Admits Responsibility for Trump's Victory
Biden acknowledges complicity in Trump's electoral success
Former US President Joe Biden ain't got no regrets – but he does take the blame for Donald Trump's election win. In a candid chat with ABC News, Biden gave it to 'em straight, saying: "I was in charge, he won. So, I take responsibility."
Biden lashed out at Trump for trying to derail his administration's progress, especially on immigration policies. He acknowledged his shortcomings, too, owning up to not being as savvy at self-promotion as Trump. "We didn't sell ourselves better," Biden admitted. "We had some good stuff, but they didn't connect."
Curiously, however, Biden believes he could've clinched another victory if he had stayed in the running. He criticized Trump for his lousy handling of matters, calling Trump's Russian policy "modern appeasement." And hey, he’s not shy about it! Biden summed up Trump's approach thus: "Just plain stupid."
Now, Mike, you might recall Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race after questions about his physical and mental fitness arose. Well, speakin' of that, Biden rebutted accusations of cognitive decline. "They were false and unfounded," Joe declared. Despite withering criticism during the TV debate against Trump, Biden insisted his decision to bow out wasn't motivated by health concerns. Instead, he wanted to avoid dividing the Democrats.
As for his better half, Jill Biden, she took the high road, too. She shrugged off accusations that she protected Joe from reality, and the harsh media spotlight hurt her feelings, dang it!
