Owning Up: Biden Takes the Blame for Trump's 2024 Election Win
Biden acknowledges complicity in Trump's electoral triumph success
In a candid conversation on "The View", former US President Joe Biden admitted that he takes responsibility for Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election. As the incumbent president during that time, Biden felt that it was only right to own up to the outcome since Trump claimed the victory.
According to Biden, Trump intentionally obstructed his administration and hindered progress, particularly in the area of immigration policy. However, he acknowledged that his team didn't quite match up to Trump's strengths when it came to self-promotion. "We weren't as good at marketing ourselves as he was," Biden admitted. He further explained that many of their policies took time to show visible results, which may have contributed to a lack of public support.
Trump's Modern-day Appeasement, Says Biden
During the same interview, Biden criticized Trump's policy towards Russia, claiming it resembled "modern appeasement." He argued that Trump's approach was not tough enough on Russia, invoking memories of the infamous appeasement of Germany in the 1930s that led to World War II.
