US President Joe Biden reportedly regrets withdrawing from this year’s presidential race, expressing confidence that he could have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election despite polling that suggested otherwise, according to White House sources quoted in a newly published Washington Post profile.
The President has also expressed dissatisfaction with his decision to appoint Merrick Garland as attorney general. Biden is said to believe that Garland was slow to prosecute Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots while presiding over a Justice Department that aggressively pursued charges against Biden’s son, Hunter.
Biden announced his withdrawal from the race in July, following a lackluster debate performance against Trump, amid growing pressure from Democratic leaders. The party ultimately replaced Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as its nominee, and she ultimately lost to Trump.
While Biden and his aides have refrained from directly blaming Harris for the loss, the Washington Post reports said that that they believe Biden’s continued candidacy might have changed the outcome.

RE: Biden regrets withdrawing.
In the antiwar protests against Lyndon Johnson there were signs carried:
LBJ—
Withdraw
Like Your Dad Should Have
It would have been an interesting thing for the public to watch.
That dementia carcass hasn’t been awake in our world for almost a dozen years.
Biden: I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody. Not a bum which is what I am.

One minute he is sicker than a dog, out of his mind and a zombie who walks with dependent as he falls going upstairs. Next minute he is Mr. cogent, self calculating, crime family Don taking out Trump. Nobody knows who the f#ck he is.
He certainly had a better chance than Kamala and her doofus VP pick.
They all need jobs the democrats have no future at this point.
Who?
RE: following a lackluster debate performance against Trump
Sort of like people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki look for a comeback in tourism after a couple of less than optimal days.
Admittedly, Biden didn’t fall forward over the podium onto the studio floor and ask if he can go home now. Just short of that.
Biden had no choice in the matter, he was thrown out😵💫😵💫😵💫
Old man yells at clouds. Sad really.
Too bad for Joey boy, but not so bad for the rest of the country. And thankfully we dodged a bullet by refusing to elect Commielaw as our next POTUS.
Quite.
Trump can write the tome, “Men are from Mars, Biden is from Uranus.” It will be a hit.
“Of course you should have stayed in, Mr.Biden.
You could have been a contender!
Now, be careful with that teaspoon, you’re going to spill your Ice Cream again, making a mess of your pajamas.
Do I to call Dr. Jill again so you can calm down before your Day nap?”
