"Fessin' Up" Biden Admits to Self-Blame for Trump's Reelection
Biden acknowledges his role in facilitating Trump's electoral success
In a candid conversation with ABC News, former President Joe Biden has openly accepted responsibility for Donald Trump's triumph in the 2024 election. Biden, addressing queries about his feelings of accountability, stated plainly, "Yup, I take the fall 'cause I was the boss, and ol' Donny scooped up the win. Can't deny it."
Biden shed light on Trump's deliberate attempts to impede his administration, specifically blocking initiatives in immigration policy. However, Biden also admitted that they struggled to market their political victories. "We weren't as slick as him at self-promotion, plain and simple," said Biden. "So, it's a damn shame that we didn't blow our own horn loud enough."
He further explained that many of their successes required time to unfold, making them less immediately visible. For instance, the economy bounced back "like a phoenix," generating jobs like never before, and solidifying the world's strongest economy. But unfortunately, these triumphs didn't get the spotlight they deserved.

With questions emerging about his physical and mental fitness, Biden withdrew from the race last year. Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in, but ultimately lost against Trump. Biden reiterated his stance that rumors of his cognitive decline were outright lies.
In the debate against Trump, Biden acknowledged being outperformed on TV, a criticism that stirred internal party debate. However, he emphasized that he left the race to prevent a Democractic party divide. "I ain't afraid to put the country over my personal interests," said Biden.
Jill, Biden's wife, shared her feelings in the same interview as well. She dismissed accusations that she kept her husband in the race too long or shielded him from reality. "I was with Joe day in, day out, from crack of dawn to lights out," she said. Having her role in the final stage of his term misrepresented in the public eye really struck a nerve with her.
