Biden Regrets July Withdrawal From 2024 Race, Believes He Could Have Defeated Trump Over Kamala Harris
Dec 28, 2024, 08:28 PM
President Joe Biden reportedly regrets his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race in July, believing he could have defeated Donald Trump in the election despite negative poll indications. According to White House sources cited by The Guardian, Biden's withdrawal came after pressure from fellow Democrats following a poor debate performance and low approval ratings. Additionally, Biden has expressed regret over appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General, citing Garland's slow pace in prosecuting Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection and the aggressive prosecution of Biden's son, Hunter. Biden's decision to step aside led to Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee, who ultimately lost to Trump.
