Joe Biden’s lame duck presidency is coming to an end. But Joe is still trying to stay relevant.
That’s why a Fox News guest just dropped the mic on Joe Biden with a hilarious six word question for the President.
No doubt, Kamala Harris was a terrible candidate. She was a California prosecutor and couldn’t relate to average Americans at all. That’s why she lost all the swing states to Donald Trump in a major way. The election simply wasn’t close at all. In the aftermath of this bloodbath of an election cycle, some within Joe Biden’s corner have been pondering whether they would have been better off with good ol’ Union Joe on the ticket rather than Kamala Harris, who remains one of the least popular Vice Presidents in modern American history.
In fact, Joe Biden himself has apparently been pondering whether the Democrat Party would have been better off in the elections had he stuck to his guns and stayed in the race despite his atrocious debate performance. As bad as Kamala Harris is, the truth is that Joe Biden had no shot too. Everyone knows it and Joe Biden suggesting otherwise is just Sleepy Joe living in a fantasy land.
Seasoned Political Expert Laughs Off Joe Biden’s Claims That He Could Have Beaten Trump
Veteran political analyst Brit Hume sharply criticized President Joe Biden’s claim that he could have won reelection, expressing doubts about the president’s reasoning. Biden recently shared his uncertainty about his ability to serve another term, but he confidently stated that he believed he could have beaten President-elect Donald Trump had he chosen to stay in the race. Hume, speaking on Special Report With Bret Baier, questioned Biden’s assertions.
Hume pointed out a glaring inconsistency in Biden’s comments, particularly considering his dismal performance during his debate with Trump last year, which resulted in a significant dip in his poll numbers. “This is a man saying that despite polling—which I’m not sure what polling he’s referring to—he could have won, even after that disastrous debate,” Hume remarked.
The analyst speculated on why Biden might have withdrawn from the race. “His poll numbers dropped sharply, which led party leaders to intervene and convince him to step aside. Then, he turns around and says he’s not sure he could have finished out the term,” Hume noted.
Hume further questioned Biden’s perspective on his own abilities. “And then he says he’s not sure he could’ve finished the term. What kind of thinking is that? To me, it sounds like the musings of an aging man who’s a bit angry and proud, but is also coming to grips with the reality that he’s no longer the person he once was,” Hume said.
In a USA Today interview, Susan Page asked Biden whether he thought he could have won had he run for another term. “Do you believe you could have won in November?” Page asked. Biden replied, “It’s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes, based on the polling.”
Earlier in July, Biden announced that he would not pursue the 2024 presidency, calling it the best decision for both his party and the country. His lackluster debate performance against Trump in June contributed to growing pressure from within his party to withdraw and focus on the remaining time in his current term.
It’s entirely possible that Joe Biden would have performed marginally better than Kamala Harris did in November. Sure, his “Union Joe” status was a real help to him in 2020 and would have been a benefit that Kamala Harris did not have in her campaign against Donald Trump. In any case, he wouldn’t have been able to beat Donald Trump. The whole reason the Democrats kicked their own Party leader out was because of this fact.
Even CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten has recently said that Joe Biden’s claim that he could have beaten Trump was “flat out bonkers.” It doesn’t take a genius to acknowledge that the cat was out of the bag regarding Joe Biden’s declining health. All of America watched the man stare at a camera in his debate against Trump like a dead-man walking. It was rough, and that was the end of the road for Joe Biden’s career.
Based on the polling data, I categorize Biden's statement that he could have beaten Trump as "flat out bonkers."
Biden was well behind Trump when he dropped out. Biden never led in all of 2024. And no incumbent president who was anywhere near as unpopular as Biden has ever won. pic.twitter.com/lGk9h8pygU
