Joe Biden Criticized Ahead of The View Interview

Former President Joe Biden made a notable return to the public spotlight with an appearance on ABC's The View, where he delivered sharp critiques of President Donald Trump, calling Trump's first 100 days his "worst" and stating that honesty is not his strong suit. Biden also addressed Trump's obsession with him, responding that he is used to dealing with bullies. During the interview, Biden joked about Christianity, making the sign of the cross alongside co-host Ana Navarro, a gesture that drew criticism from some viewers who felt it made a religion a punchline. Biden further discussed his relationship with Vice President Kamala Harris, attributing her election loss to sexism and highlighting their ongoing communication and disagreements. However, not all reactions to Biden's return were positive; conservative commentator and The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin criticized Biden as a messenger "no Democrat wants to see out there right now," pointing to his mixed legacy, including praise for his role in maintaining NATO but criticism for the Afghanistan withdrawal. Griffin suggested that Biden should give his legacy time to breathe, citing the example of Jimmy Carter, who became more beloved after stepping back from the public eye.
