Biden chalked up Trump's success to deliberate obstruction and a failure to progress in immigration policy. Simultaneously, he acknowledged his administration's shortcomings in promoting political accomplishments, declaring, "We weren't as good as him in self-promotion, so it was a mistake that we didn’t sell ourselves better."
Trump's seemingly destined victory was no overnight feat, as many of the measures taken to enhance the country took time to bear fruit, not immediately visible to the public eye.
Misconception Clarified Trump Triumphed in 2016, Not 2020
For the record, it's essential to clarify that Donald Trump did not win the 2020 election; Joe Biden claimed victory in that contest. However, if we delve into the 2016 race, factors such as Trump's populist appeal, the electoral map, and his successful exploitation of voters' disillusionment with the political establishment played a significant role in his victory[3].
On a different note, Joe Biden's political strength, including his extensive government service history and his ability to position himself as a steadfast option to Trump, ultimately propelled him to win the election in 2020[2].
First Lady's Sincere Response
Jill Biden also joined the conversation, addressing accusations that she prolonged Joe's campaign beyond its natural lifespan or shielded him from reality. "I was with Joe day and night, waking him up in the morning and sleeping with him at night," she said, vehemently refuting those claims. The public portrayal of her role during the final stretch of her husband's tenure deeply affected her personally.
