Joe Biden Faces Backlash Over Proposal to Help Rebuild Democratic Party
The former president's offer to assist the party after its 2024 defeat has drawn criticism from Democrats, highlighting internal divisions and calls for new leadership.
- Joe and Jill Biden met with DNC Chairman Ken Martin in February to propose a campaign effort aimed at revitalizing the Democratic Party's image and fundraising capabilities.
- The Democratic Party has seen a significant decline in public support, with fewer than one-third of Americans approving of its performance since Donald Trump returned to the presidency in January 2025.
- Many Democratic officials and former Biden aides have criticized Biden's proposal, calling it unrealistic and emphasizing the need for younger leadership within the party.
- Critics attribute the party's current struggles to Biden's leadership decisions, including his delayed withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race and controversies surrounding his family.
- Since leaving office, Joe Biden has kept a low profile, signing with Creative Artists Agency to explore post-presidency opportunities, while his family continues to face scrutiny over alleged monetization of their political connections.
