Biden Reflects on 2024 Election, Legacy

In a recent interview with USA Today, President Joe Biden expressed confidence that he could have won reelection against Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race, citing unspecified polling data, although he acknowledged uncertainties about completing another term due to age-related concerns. Biden stepped down from the race in July after a poor debate performance and was replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, who ultimately lost to Trump. His campaign battleground director, Dan Kanninen, stated that Biden's presence on the ticket would not have changed the election outcome. Biden's reflections also touched on his administration's challenges, including misinformation spread by Trump, and his legacy, particularly in rebuilding the economy post-COVID-19. Critics like CNN’s Harry Enten have dismissed Biden's belief in his potential victory as unrealistic, given his low approval ratings and polling struggles against Trump.
