Biden's Legacy Under Scrutiny
Joe Biden's legacy is increasingly questioned amid criticisms from various Democratic circles, primarily due to dissatisfaction with the losses experienced by the party during his presidency. Many party members express frustration over losses in the 2020 elections, attributing blame to Biden's decisions rather than to Kamala Harris. Furthermore, Biden's decision to pursue a second term is perceived as selfish, as he previously positioned himself as a transitional candidate. This perception is exacerbated by concerns about his age and the ongoing challenges faced by the party, leading to anger and disillusionment among Democrats.
