The persistence and narcissism of the former president led to the catastrophic victory of Trump.
Democrats have long needed honest calculations with the unsuccessful presidency Joe Biden, which ended with his degrading decision to abandon his re -elected application at almost the last possible moment in July 2024 – which, in turn, led to Kamala Harris and the return of Don Don Trump. A disaster on this scale requires at least some self -refinement. When dealing with such a collective person, such as a political party, minimal demand should be carefully exposed.
However, for various reasons, the Democrats have largely avoided even escaping introspection. Donald Trump’s most horrificity is one of the factors of the lack of internal criticism – or more precisely, a convenient simple excuse. Next publication May 20 books Original sin Journalists Jake Taper and Alex Thompson are firing discussion that many democratic insiders are trying to knock down. The book documents the deterioration of the cognitive capacity and health of Joe Biden during his presidency and claims to be the cover of Biden’s inner circle.
Speaking on Tuesday with journalists about whether Biden even sought re -election, given the public’s perception of his aging, former Transport Secretary Pytiaga – Note“We are also unable to break into the background. We must prepare for some major tests for the country’s future and this party.”
Given the need to combat Trump, there is a temptation to say that the party has no time for potentially separate internal violation. But there is a more interested reason to not “back review”. The Tapper and Thompson document, all too many high officials and political strategists, many of whom still run the parties, were involved in the scandalous cover of Biden. Writing in NationNorman Solomon by right cut A common “career”, which concerned all the wings of the party, such as centrists and progressives.
The problem with Batiga’s refusal “back number” is that for many voters, President Baden’s failure is not something that can be easily translated into the past, but remains the reason for the Democratic Party’s distrust. In particular, the accusation in the cover throws a long shadow. The NBC survey in March showed the Democrats were in a historical low public respectOnly 27 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion about the party. Unlike the head in the sandy attitude buttigieg, the representative of Ra Khan was more realistic If he posted On Wednesday, “to restore trust, the Democrats must be honest. In the light of the facts that came out, Joe Biden should not run for re -election, and we had to have an open main.”
Y en An excerpt of their books in New YorkerTorper and Thompson paint a scary picture of Biden’s incapacity as president:
The real question was not his age. These were obvious restrictions on his abilities that had deteriorated throughout his presidency. The fact that the public saw its functioning was concerned. What was happening privately was even worse. While Biden on a day, the outgoing basis can certainly make decisions and claim wisdom and act as president, there were some significant problems that complicated his presidency: the restriction of the hours in which he could reliably and more moments when he seemed freezing, lost his train, forgetting about the names of the top During the decades. Not to mention violations of their ability to communicate – not related to its stuttering throughout life.
Current Issue
But Biden’s scandal goes beyond his catastrophic decision in 2024. Overview Original sin in Washington PostAlex Sheped New republic Notes:
There is evidence that the cognitive decline of Biden began back in 2015, after his son’s death, and that he needed a great help to conduct simple interviews during the 2020 elections (he was often helped to use the TV producer because so many companies were made remotely during the pandem). The most disturbing proposal in the book Tapper and Thompson is that the true original sin of Biden did not perform at the re-election-first participated in the presidency.
When Biden’s decision launches in 2020 was a mistake, his president’s scandal covers a much wider group of leaders. In the end, Biden was going to early primaries when, trying to stop Bernie Sanders, the institution’s heads united around Biden as a candidate with the best chances to prevent nomination. This led to the main approval of Biden’s representative James Cliburon to the primary South Carolina, as well as to the decision of Pete Butigi and Amy Klobuchar to give up the race in favor of Biden. Former President Barack Obama As reported toward Biden.
Biden has always been an unsuccessful company. The party’s elite was needed to win the nomination. His victory in the next general elections also contributed to the external factor, in particular, the disaster (which allowed Biden to make such a distant agitation he preferred) and Trump’s historical unpopularity. If Biden won the 2020 nomination from the party’s elite, then his failures belong not only to him – or to his inner circle.
After winning in 2020, Biden’s cognitive downturn crossed with his more unpleasant personal features. What he demanded the help of the party elite to win the nomination did not make Biden a more modest man. Completely opposite. Biden seems to have seen his victory as personal revenge against questionables, who, in his opinion, have always underestimated him.
The stubborn and brazen unwillingness to listen to critics characterized Biden’s presidency. As for foreign policy, he refused to descend from his bear strategy, which is hosted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden’s mental flicker was so strong that he was unable to even see contradictory evidence. NBC NEWS report In April 2024, with the Arab and Muslim Americans, who was in the design of a private meeting, in Arab and Muslim Americans: “The doctor who was present was embarrassed when she showed that Biden prints of photos of malnutable children and women in Gaza – to which Biden replied.
Writing in American perspectivePolitical strategist Stan Greenberg suggested a convincing account About how the arrogance of Biden sabotaged Kamala Harris. Greenberg notes that before giving up Biden, he did not want to acknowledge sustainable economic problems, but preferred to expose his achievements. According to Greenberg, “deep personal uncertainty in Biden and Paranea conducted an unwavering campaign based on its achievements, in what was really the elections.”

After refusing, Biden continued to intervene in the company of harmful ways, using the company’s company, Harris. As Greenberg indicates:
Biden refused the brutal refusal, but only until July 21. The short remaining time forced Harris to keep Biden’s company to a large extent intact. Before her discussion with Trump, he called her and insisted that “there is no daylight, the kid.”
Biden said Harris had not used it enough and did his best to become part of the story. It made him join the Harris’ final speech on Ellipse to notice that “the only garbage I see is floating there is his fans.” Using the actual garbage trucks, Trump was able to protect Biden and Harris and tie them to Hillary Clinton, calling Trump’s voters “sad”.
The company wrote an economic speech saying: “As the president of the United States, I will intend to rely on the basis of this progress”, which facilitates the Harris brand with “Baden”.
As I saw, Biden’s staff did not mind that she had slipped from the “cost of life”. Biden did not say the words because he believed it was a criticism of the economy.
Greenberg’s focus on Biden’s brazen economic message is an important addition to Biden’s cognitive decline. Biden’s visible aging became a big political problem – and probably the main engine of his unpopularity. But this was not the only problem. From personal arrogance, perhaps worsening his cognitive decline, Biden could not listen to critics of his domestic and foreign policy. And, insisting that there was no “daylight” among themselves and Harris, Biden wrapped an anchor on the neck of his vice -president.
While Biden had some true internal achievements, especially in the first two years, his greater presidency left a launched record. Democrats will not be able to return the public unless they are honestly saying that if not, and how the party elites were involved in the catastrophe. And until these elites are replaced.
