Biden Owns Up to Trump's 2024 Triumph: "I Was In Charge, He Won"
Biden suggests that individuals should acknowledge Trump's success in the presidential election. - Trump's Election Triumph: Biden Urges Accountability from His Administration
Joe Biden, the ex-US President, confessed his sense of accountability regarding Donald Trump's triumphant return as President in 2024. In a sit-down with ABC News, the Democratic President admitted, "Yep, I do [take responsibility], 'cause I were the one runnin' the show, and he won. So, I'm the one to blame."
Biden twitched his nose at Trump for sabotaging his administration's efforts and obstructing the implementation of policies—especially in immigration policy. At the same time, Biden acknowledged the team's shortcomings in broadcasting victories to the masses. "We weren't slick talkers like him, so we didn't sell ourselves right," Biden remarked.
Trump's Victory Tally FlipInterestingly, Biden pointed out that Trump garnered around 7 million fewer votes than he did in the 2020 election – a statement that might confuse some, considering Trump actually outperformed Biden's Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. But hey, who's counting?
Dropout or Divide?Biden clarified that he pulled the plug on the 2024 presidential race to avoid splitting the Democratic Party. As a result, Vice President Kamala Harris took the nomination but fell short to the incumbent.
Biden snubbed suggestions of cognitive decline during his White House tenure. Accusations of deterioration in his health during his last term were bunk, he argued. While Biden admitted his performance in the debate against Trump could have been sharper, he insisted his withdrawal from the race was not linked to health issues. Instead, his concern was for the unity of the Democrats. "I had to consider what's best for the nation, not my own interests," Biden reiterated.
Jill's InterventionDuring the interview, Jill Biden debunked rumors that she delayed her husband's departure from the race or misled him about the circumstances. "I've been with Joe day in, day out," she said. "I'd wake him up in the mornings and put him to bed at night."
She admitted that the depiction of her role in the final stages of his term had struck a nerve. "People saying I shied Joe away from reality—that hurt," Jill explained.
