Hillary Clinton believes Joe Biden's choice to run for re-election was a "terrible mistake." She feels this decision cost the Democratic Party the 2024 presidency and harmed his legacy.
Hillary Clinton, a former Secretary of State, recently shared her thoughts on the 2024 US presidential election. She believes President Joe Biden's decision to seek re-election was a significant error.
Mrs. Clinton stated that this choice was a "terrible mistake" for Mr. Biden, his legacy, and the country. She felt it ultimately cost the Democratic Party the presidency.
She argued that if Mr. Biden had announced he would not run in late 2023, a genuine Democratic primary would have produced a stronger candidate. Such a candidate, she believes, would have beaten Donald Trump.
Mr. Biden eventually withdrew from the race in July 2024, after a debate. Vice President Kamala Harris then became the nominee but lost the general election to Mr. Trump a few months later.
Mrs. Clinton explained that once Mr. Biden decided not to step aside, the party faced a "terrible dilemma." This made their situation very difficult.
