Democrats question Biden's leadership as Trump reclaims power in 2024 election
Many Democrats now view President Joe Biden as a one-term leader who failed to secure his party's future against Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Biden's decision to run again at age 80 is seen as a miscalculation that limited opportunities for other candidates. On election night, Biden watched as Trump reclaimed power, likely with a majority of the popular vote. This outcome raises questions about Biden's legacy, particularly his ability to connect with voters and address their concerns about inflation and the economy. Biden's allies are reflecting on missed chances for a more competitive primary that could have better prepared the party. As Trump returns, Biden's presidency faces scrutiny for not effectively countering the former president's influence and policies.
