Hillary Clinton Throws Joe Biden Under The Bus

Hillary Clinton blasted former President Joe Biden for pursuing a second term, describing the campaign as a “terrible mistake.”

In a recent interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick, the failed 2016 presidential candidate expressed regret for throwing her support behind Biden, arguing that a competitive Democratic primary during the 2024 cycle would’ve ended the Trump era. 

“We would have had a real contest,” Clinton said. “He made a terrible mistake. He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.”

“And very sadly, I believe whoever emerged from that contest, whether it was the vice president or a governor or a senator or anybody else, would have beaten Donald Trump,” she continued. “So I think it was a terrible miscalculation on the part of President Biden.”

The remarks undercut Clinton’s messaging during the 2024 campaign. She supported Biden until he exited the race, then quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in her 11th-hour challenge against President Trump.

“I’ve known Kamala Harris a long time. This brilliant prosecutor will make the case against convicted felon Donald Trump and the Project 2025 agenda to take away our freedoms,” Clinton said in a July 22, 2024, social media post. “But she can’t do it alone. Become a part of this historic campaign today.” 

Clinton is the latest Democrat to muster the courage to throw Biden under the bus for their party’s election wipeout.

In May, Democrats finally released their long-awaited 2024 election autopsy. Buried inside the 192-page report were some brutal admissions about Kamala Harris, the Democratic brand, and the party’s growing disconnect from average Americans.

“The sad truth is Democrats have lost ground at every level from inconsistent messaging and improper planning, even as the policies the Party advances continue to earn voter support at the ballot box,” the report said.

The document repeatedly suggests Democrats leaned way too heavily on “Trump bad” messaging while failing to give voters a compelling reason to vote for Harris. One especially rough section says Harris struggled to define herself beyond “not Trump” and “prosecutor vs. felon,” putting blame on the Biden White House.

Notably, the autopsy made no mention of former President Joe Biden’s advanced age or the lingering distrust voters felt following his disastrous debate performance.

“We either adapt to the changing conditions of the arena, or history will leave us behind,” the report stated.
