6 years after political comeback, Biden faces cold shoulder from fellow Democrats
Fox News ^ | 2/12/26 | Paul Steinhauser

Former President Joe Biden will be feted by South Carolina Democrats later this month, to mark the sixth anniversary of his Palmetto State primary landslide, a comeback victory that rocketed Biden to the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and later the White House.

But with many Democrats still smarting from their party's major 2024 election setbacks, fueled in part by a very unpopular Biden presidency and the then-president's dropping his re-election bid amid serious questions about his physical and mental abilities following a disastrous debate with now-President Donald Trump, the South Carolina celebration appears to be an outlier.

As they seek office in gubernatorial and congressional races in this year's elections, nine candidates who served in the Biden administration appear to be keeping their distance from the former president, according to a new report from Axios.

Biden ended his presidency with approval and favorable ratings well underwater, and the 13 months since he left office have not apparently healed the damage done to his standing among those in his own party.

"Biden remains a liability," a veteran Democratic strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News Digital. "Being associated with the Biden administration is doing some candidates no favors as they run this year."

That's a switch from the 2018 elections, the previous midterm cycle when Trump was in office and the Democrats were out of power, when former President Barack Obama as well as then-former Vice President Biden were in demand on the campaign trail.

This is nonsense. That "primary landslide" was engineered when Barack Obama and South Carolina congressman James Clyburn cut a back room deal to guarantee Biden's nomination.

Too bad he’s too stupid and demented to know what a failure he was/is. At least his crime family will be broke and in prison when they inevitably try and scam again.

“connections to steal and would let them do anything they wanted”

Indeed, from Hussein to the autopen we’ll be long dead before we know the true corruption and that’s just the tip of the spear.

With Bernie Sanders breathing down their necks in state after state,James needed to get his girl Kamala in place. So James is to blame.

Not so long ago, I heard he was the best President ever. Speaking for myself, I still don’t miss Biden.

Biden is just Biden. Why do Demonrats get to pretend they didn’t ignore reality, vote for him, and let his diseased brain do whatever it wanted? They’re more guilty than Biden is Biden just wanted to eat ice cream.

The Quisling Puppet Biden should meet the same fate as Vidkun Quisling. The filthy scumbag puppet collaborated with the enemy communist China. That alone is reason enough to put him in a Brazen Bull device. /spit

The only reason Biden “came back” is because the Democrats knew the only person who had a chance to beat Trump was a white male, and he came from central casting.

Last night on Fox News, Jimmy Failla referred to Biden as Donald Trump's halftime show.

Biden and Harris were just useful idiots for the party. They had to put someone on the ballot and they knew Joe’s mental state. That is why they had to put the cheat machine on speed to get him in office.
