Biden called a sudden press conference at the White House on Friday.
US President Joe Biden said he could have defeated Trump in the November election, but he decided to withdraw his candidacy for the sake of his party’s unity. Biden said these things while addressing a press briefing at the White House on Friday.
Biden was asked whether he regretted his decision not to contest the elections. Biden agreed to this to an extent, although he also said that he had no regrets in withdrawing his candidacy amid the elections.
President Biden will deliver a farewell address from the Oval Office on January 15. This will be his last speech before leaving office as President. This speech will start at 8 pm according to American time.
After winning the presidential election, Trump reached the White House on November 12 to meet President Biden. Biden had sent an invitation to Trump for the meeting.
Biden said – Kamala can contest elections again after four years When Biden was asked whether he felt that he had given Donald Trump an easy chance to win the election. He said- I don’t feel that we gave Trump an easy chance but I think I would have defeated Trump.
Biden said his party was worried about whether he would be able to advance in the election. It was very important to keep the party united. He said that becoming the President of America was the biggest honor for him, but he did not want to become such a person because of which the party loses the elections.
President Biden said-
I was sure that Vice President Kamala Harris could defeat Trump, but it did not happen. However, if she wants, she can contest elections again after four years. I think they deserve to do that.
Kamala Harris has not yet revealed whether she will be in the race for the next four elections or not. Kamala Harris has suffered the worst defeat for the Democratic Party since the 1988 presidential election. He has won the least number of Electoral College votes in the last 36 years.
Many believe that if she decides to run for re-election, she could face a strong challenge for the 2028 Democratic Party nomination.
Vice President Kamala Harris officially announced Donald Trump’s victory on January 6.
American President said – I will not disappear from sight In America, former presidents generally stay away from public comments on contemporary politics. However, Biden said that unlike other presidents, he will continue to express his views on politics. Biden said that he will not disappear from sight.
Joe Biden, who defeated Trump in the 2020 elections, also won the Democratic Party’s nomination for the 2024 elections. However, before the nomination was announced by the party, he had decided to withdraw from the presidential race.
Actually, there was a debate between Biden and Trump in June in which Biden’s performance was very bad. After this, questions started being raised on his candidature and citing his age, pressure was put on him to drop out of the presidential race.
In an interview given to an American news channel three days ago, Biden also said that he still felt that he could have defeated Trump but he was not sure that he could have completed a second term. Biden was probably referring to his increasing age.
