A former Biden campaign staffer has spoken out against the former president, blaming his decision to seek a second term for the current state of the country. The staffer told New York Magazine that Biden’s hubris was to blame for the outcome of the 2024 election, which saw President Donald Trump return to the White House.
Biden’s Public Reemergence
Biden has been making public appearances in recent weeks, including a speech at the South Dakota Democratic Party’s McGovern Day Dinner. During the speech, Biden attacked Trump, calling him the most corrupt president in U.S. history. The event was part of an effort by Biden’s family and inner circle to remind the public of his presidential legacy.
However, not all Democrats are supportive of Biden’s public reemergence. David Axelrod, a longtime Obama adviser, warned that putting Biden front and center could remind voters why Democrats pushed him out of the race. Other Democrats, such as Rufus Gifford, who served as finance chair of Biden’s campaign, argue that the party is moving past the 2024 election and that there is less of a ‘hangover’ from the loss.
Family Defense
Biden’s family has also been defending him in recent weeks. His wife, Jill Biden, responded to criticism from a former Biden spokesman, saying she wanted to speak to him directly. Hunter Biden also defended his father, saying that people never truly understood him.
