Kickin' it casual, no-nonsense style here
Former POTUS Joe Biden didn't mince words when discussing the 2024 election victory of his predecessor, Donald Trump, in an interview with ABC News. The Dem prez admitted, "Yep, I take responsibility here. I was in charge and DM won, simple as that." Biden's accusations pointed to Trump actively undermining his administration and blocking initiatives, particularly in immigration policy. However, he acknowledged his communication game was weak and couldn't compete with Trump's self-promotion. "Lessons learned, buddy. We should've had a better advertising campaign," he joked.
Biden Brushes Off Aging Concerns: "Some Bullcrap"
The 82-year-old ex-president faced scrutiny over his physical and mental fitness for a second term during his campaign last year. Vice President Kamala Harris took the presidency, but they both lost to Trump. Biden dismissed the claims of cognitive decline during his term, calling them "straight bullcrap" with "zero foundation."
Though he acknowledged neither performing at his best during the TV debate against Trump, sparking criticism, he stressed health wasn't the reason he stepped down. Instead, he said, "The country comes first, always. I put the Democratic party ahead of my personal ambitions."
Jill Biden Steps In: Sets the Record Straight
In the same interview, Jill Biden responded to claims that she kept her husband in the race too long or shielded him from reality. "Let me set the record straight," she said firmly. "I was by Joe's side day and night. I woke him up in the morning and slept with him at night. Those accusations are sheer nonsense." She also shared her hurt regarding the public's misperception of her role in the final phase of her husband's presidency.
