Biden's regret: Missed chance in a rematch against Trump
Joe Biden regrets withdrawing from the presidential elections in the USA, according to sources cited by "The Washington Post". Biden is convinced that he would have won the November elections against Donald Trump.
Biden withdrew in late July, after a defeat in a debate with Trump and numerous pressures from his own circle. Kamala Harris became the new Democratic Party candidate, who eventually lost to Trump.
Now Biden is regretting his decision. The outgoing president assessed, in hindsight, that he had a real chance of reelection.
At the same time—according to "The Washington Post"—Biden admits that he may have made mistakes that led to his ratings dropping in favour of Trump.
Could Harris have won? They blame Biden
Meanwhile, in the post-election debate on the reasons for Kamala Harris's defeat, voices are emerging that she had too little time to organise an effective election campaign. Her supporters partially blame Biden for this, as he decided to run for reelection, breaking a promise made back in 2020.
- Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation. I think his running again broke that concept - said Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal in an interview with "The Washington Post".
