Joe Biden regrets having pulled out of this year’s presidential race and believes he would have defeated Donald Trump in last month’s election – despite negative poll indications, White House sources have said.

The US president has reportedly also said he made a mistake in choosing Merrick Garland as attorney general – reflecting that Garland, a former US appeals court judge, was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 insurrection while presiding over a justice department that aggressively prosecuted Biden’s son Hunter.

Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket led to a surge of enthusiasm and improved poll numbers but ultimately ended in a decisive electoral college and popular vote defeat.

    the only way biden could ever dream to defeat trump is with some extrajudicial violence. and that is very obviously never happening.

      Who is the only person who beat Trump?

      Edit: Says a lot about a person who downvotes a question because they don’t like the obvious answer.

          Wrong. Try again. I’ll help. Obama served two terms. Then Hillary didn’t beat Trump. Then Biden beat Trump. Then Harris lost to Trump. Just say’in

            Hilary lost same as Harris because Obama ended up doing nothing to help the citizens and here we are now

              Doesn’t matter what your formulation is. Fact remains that Biden is the only one who defeated Trump. BTW, if what you say is true, why would that fact exist? Biden was Obamas VP.

          Again, the point is that he is the only one who beat Trump. You can form as many reasons for him dropping out and I’ll probably agree with most of them, but that fact remains.

            Past performance does not indicate future performance.

              As it turns out, no one really asked you to.

                You explicitly did trying to imply that Biden should have started in because he won in 2020.

                  Explicitly, I responded to a post.that indicated “Biden couldn’t dream of beating Trump” pointing out that he already did. I think we’re done here.
