Joe Biden will be out the door of the White House now in just a few weeks.
As we reported, he’s having some regrets. But his regrets are twisted, such as not putting his own name on COVID relief checks.

Now there’s a little bit more about those regrets he’s been having. He’s apparently upset that he stepped aside and he thinks he would have won.
Biden and some of his aides still believe he should have stayed in the race, despite the rocky debate performance and low poll numbers that prompted Democrats to pressure him to drop out. Biden and these aides have told people in recent days that he could have defeated Trump, according to people familiar with their comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Aides say the president has been careful not to place blame on Harris or her campaign.
The Washington Post talks about when how Bill Clinton ran, he understood the media culture more at the time and did things like play the sax on late-night TV and going on MTV.
Biden himself still thinks his problem was Americans just didn’t get it, that the problem was his messaging/our failure to understand how wonderful and successful he was.
Pro tip? It isn’t about style, and it wasn’t about his messaging, except in so far as the continual lying and treating Americans like they were dopes was offensive. It was about his bad policies, including his inflation and his border invasion. Not to mention his ever-present and concerning cognitive decline. They forget Bill Clinton also remembered, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
Biden didn’t seem to care about that. Neither did Harris. They were fully set on the foolhardy “Trump is Hitler” campaign message.
The WaPo notes that Harris supporters think Harris got short shrift because Biden stuck around too long so she didn’t have time to really stage a proper campaign. That’s a sad excuse that leaves out what a horrible candidate she was.
Bottom line, Biden would have lost as well, maybe even more resoundingly. People had had enough of Biden-Harris and being told not to believe what they were seeing with their own eyes. They didn’t want someone who was going to be impaired going forward.

Biden also had another regret, which — like the COVID check signing regret — is pretty twisted.
In private, Biden has also said he should have picked someone other than Merrick Garland as attorney general, complaining about the Justice Department’s slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump, and its aggressiveness in prosecuting Biden’s son Hunter, according to multiple people familiar with his comments. [….]
Had the Justice Department moved faster to prosecute Trump for allegedly seeking to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents, they say, the former president might have faced a politically damaging trial before the election.
So let’s just think about that for a second. What he’s really saying by that regret is, “Too bad we didn’t move faster to be able to more effectively stop Trump from winning.” But yeah, not at all political.
Then the ridiculous comment about his son. “Aggressiveness?” Is he joking? They didn’t pursue the raft of things that were found on the laptop, including anything that might have touched Joe himself. Then they were going to cut him a ridiculous plea deal that only blew apart because the judge wouldn’t accept it. Aggressive, my eye.
He’s only mad that he then had to pardon his son to get him off, and that exposed his hypocrisy.
