Biden Reveals Trump's Praise for His Economic Policies, Considers Pardons for Cheney and Fauci
Jan 8, 2025, 01:18 PM
In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY, outgoing President Joe Biden discussed his legacy, the 2024 election, and his interactions with President-elect Donald Trump. Biden revealed that during a private meeting in the Oval Office, Trump complimented him on his economic policies and stated that Biden was leaving office with a 'good record.' Despite this, Biden expressed uncertainty about his ability to serve another term, citing concerns about his vigor at age 86. Biden also mentioned he is considering preemptive pardons for figures like Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci, who have been targeted by Trump. Biden urged Trump not to 'settle scores' with political opponents, though Trump did not commit to this advice during their conversation. Biden's biggest regret was his failure to effectively counter misinformation, particularly from Trump.
