Biden's Bold Claim: I Could've 'Beaten' Trump Again!
In a recent interview on Friday, January 10,
President Joe Biden confidently declared that he could have defeated
President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
"I think I would have beaten Trump, could have beaten Trump. And I think
Kamala could have beaten Trump and would have beaten Trump. It wasn't about … I thought it was important to unify the party," the 46th president observed.
"When the party was worried about whether or not I was gonna be able to move, even though I thought I could win again, I thought it was better to unify the party," he said.
Trump: 'Biden Was Never Fit to Lead'
In July 2024, after the president dropped out of the race to make way for Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump laid into the oldest sitting president ever.
"Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve — And never was!"
On whether or not he could have served a full second term, Biden told reporters on Friday, "Who the h— knows."
Social Media Roasts: 'Biden's Delusion Knows No Bounds'
After the president's comments hit the news cycle, the response online was of course, not too kind to the deeply unpopular Commander-in-Chief.
"But is he really that far off? If he could have avoided that debate, the media and
Democrats would have smuggled him into Oval Office again," someone wrote on X. "He was pretty bad when they got him into the Oval Office the first time. For him, not much has changed."
Amid ongoing concerns about Biden's cognitive health, another observed, "Evidence to support Trump's effort to overturn all of the executive orders signed by Biden: This video clearly demonstrates Biden's lack of competence in fulfilling his duties. He clearly has no idea that Kamala ran for president, he doesn't even correct himself."
Pelosi Said an Earlier Biden Exit Could Have Benefited Dems
After Trump's near clean sweep of electoral votes on November 5, 2024, former House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi spilled, "Had the president gotten out sooner, there may have been other candidates in the race. The anticipation was that, if the president were to step aside, that there would be an open primary."
What About Kamala Harris?
More reactions continue to pour in on how the American leader talked as if he ran the entire race against his one-time Republican challenger and soon-to-be successor.
"They're still lying to him, a commenter stated. "He doesn't realize he was kicked out by his own party. And he must have slept thru the election? Who does he think Trump ran against?"
Another quipped, "Biden's claims are laughable. The American people have spoken, and they chose Trump."
'Biden Is Mental'
Cenk Uygur of the Progressive news channel Young Turks eviscerated the sitting president's claims.
"Biden says he would have beaten Trump. 2. He also said, "Who the h— knows?" on whether he could have served a whole second term. 3. He's finishing with an approval rating that is astounding -35 percent. Trump's first term was considered really bad at -4%. 4. Biden is mental."
President-elect Trump is set to be inaugurated as America's 47th president on Monday, January 20.
