Democrats are reportedly very frustrated that Joe Biden’s family and advisors continue to put him in interviews, knowing he is visibly struggling and that his remarks could further damage the party’s already weak position.
Recently, Biden stumbled through a BBC interview, insisting he could have won the election if he had stayed in the race. In another problematic appearance on The View, he suggested that Kamala Harris lost because many voters are racist and sexist. When questioned about his cognitive decline, he needed assistance from Dr. Jill Biden to form a coherent response.
Behind the scenes, Democrats are reportedly furious and want Biden to step out of the spotlight.
“If you thought Joe Biden was prepared to exit stage left to the serene beaches of Delaware, think again! This week, Biden reemerged from the shadows. Some Democrats are not too happy with the reputation rehabilitation tour!”

“Democrats are blasting former President Biden’s reemergence in the spotlight following his interview Thursday on ‘The View,’ his second major post-presidency interview… Some Democrats argue Biden is becoming a liability as the party tries to recover from its 2024 losses.”
Democratic strategist Anthony Coley, a former Biden administration official, stated:
“Elections are about the future. Every time Joe Biden emerges, we fight an old war. His interviews create an unhelpful contrast with Trump, and Democrats need fresh voices to inspire voters. Joe Biden isn’t that.”
Another strategist noted:
“Biden needs to take responsibility for his actions and admit he cost Democrats the election. There’s no acknowledgment that he shouldn’t have run again. Why can’t he admit his role in this?”
Some speculate that Biden’s frequent appearances may be a form of retaliation after being pushed out of the race.
“He’s making more appearances than he did for his entire Presidency!!”

Others mocked the situation:
“Relax, @DNC. This is the best @JoeBiden ever. He’s sharp as a tack. Biden 2028!!!”

Critics pointed out the irony:
“Less than a year ago, they said he was sharp as a tack and at the top of his game. Now they’re turning on him.”

Some accused Democrats of deception:
“Democrats lied about his condition to stop Trump. They’ll do anything to win, even mislead the public.”

Others suggested financial motives:
“The Bidens won’t fade away quietly—they’re used to power and luxury. They need a golden parachute for their retirement.”

Criticism also targeted Jill Biden:
“Jill is dragging him around on her leash. She craves the spotlight and power, ignoring his decline. If he were a better man, I’d pity him—but he’s not.”
