Months after President Donald Trump gained once more, Democrats are nonetheless making an attempt to know how their get together misplaced the presidential election. Biden’s administration was dogged by questions on his psychological acuity and now extra revelations are popping out about how his defenders turned a blind eye to his decline or condemned those that questioned his potential to serve.
“The 2024 presidential campaign was even more of a mess for Democrats than we even saw,” co-host Pleasure Behar stated, noting that a number of books are reporting inside details about the Biden presidency and marketing campaign.
Even so, Behar argued, “We have to take a lot of this, I think, with a bit of a grain of salt. I mean, if any of this is true, what can Democrats do about it now? I mean, it seems to me this ship has sailed, what’s the point?”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued that Biden, regardless of the very fact he stepped down, was instrumental within the Democratic Social gathering’s defeat.
“We’re in a moment we’re in where a lot of people are scared, they’re nervous. They’re worried that we’re seeing America fundamentally changed. And a reason for that, not just a little asterisk, is that Joe Biden did not win, did not step aside in time to allow someone else to win, and I do think it is a story that warrants some reflection,” she stated.
Griffin went on to argue that Biden let himself be carried away by his ego and in contrast him to Trump.
“People always think I’m so critical just because I think he needed to step aside and give someone else a chance. He does start to come off, the more we’re learning, like, ‘I alone can fix it.’ It almost comes off Trumpy,” she stated, occurring to argue that if Biden had stepped down sooner, his Democratic successor may have had a greater probability at successful the election.
Co-host Sara Haines provided one other main takeaway: “Listen to the voters.”
“One factor that basically pissed me off as an unbiased, and I used to be one of many those who sat right here and stated after seeing President Biden – I voted for Biden, I actually appreciated Biden, I even have been proud of him, and I’d have voted for him if he continued to run – however I did take a look at him and assume, ‘I think maybe you do need to step aside,’ and now the rumors that we’re hearing [are] starting to make sense.”

The immediate response to questioning Biden’s acuity was swift and offended, she recalled.
“What happened is everyone said, ‘You’re disloyal if you say that, shut up and fall in line,’ and that’s why people want to be independents these days, because partisan politics, they lie,” Haines stated. “It was the Democratic Party that made that choice, that said, ‘You’re betraying him if you call it like you see it,’ and the point here was is he wasn’t necessarily fit to run for another four years.”
Ana Navarro disagreed, as an alternative echoing Behar and co-host Sunny Hostin’s lack of curiosity in a postmortem evaluation of the Democratic Social gathering’s efforts within the election.
“Usually I like these books, usually I like campaign gossip of ‘Primary Colors’ after Clinton or, oh, after Obama or ‘Game Change’ after McCain, but these are not normal times,” she stated. “So I’m just not interested in palace gossip from a year and a half ago.”
She went on to supply a laundry checklist of issues she’d somewhat concentrate on with the present Trump administration.

“Two things can be true at once,” Haines replied. “You can despise Trump and everything the Republicans stand for, and still be able to see straight about what happened here. And denying it and telling people, ‘You’re not seeing what you’re seeing,’ is never going to win voters, ever!”
