Biden reportedly thinks he shouldn't have dropped out while members of his own party see his insistence to continue his campaign as a reason for Kamala Harris's loss.
Joe Biden has reportedly shared “in recent days” that he could’ve defeated Donald Trump despite concerns over the president’s age, his mental acuity and cratering support with Democrats that caused him to drop out of the 2024 race.
Biden along with some aides believe he shouldn’t have stepped aside in July, a decision that paved the way for Vice President Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid, The Washington Post reported Saturday citing sources close to the White House.
The news comes in the face of Biden’s deep unpopularity among Americans as the president hit his lowest approval rating since moving into the White House in 2021, according to a survey taken by the Marquette Law School Poll earlier this month.
His approval rating currently sits at 37.4%, a number that’s 5% lower than what Trump had at the same point of his first term, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight.
The Biden campaign reportedly had a grim election picture against Trump as internal polling showed the now-president-elect taking home 400 electoral votes in November, according to “Pod Save America” host Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for Barack Obama.
