Biden plans political return


(MENAFN) Former US President Joe Biden has privately offered to raise funds, campaign, and assist the Democratic Party in reclaiming ground lost to Republicans, NBC News reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the discussions.

Biden has reportedly reached out to Democratic leaders, including new DNC Chairman Ken Martin, expressing his willingness to help amid the party’s declining popularity. According to NBC, recent polling shows Democratic favorability at just 27%, the lowest recorded since 1990.

Despite his offer, Biden’s age (82) and association with the 2024 loss have raised concerns among some party activists and donors. Many Democrats remain frustrated over his late exit from the race, which they believe left Kamala Harris with little time to campaign effectively against Donald Trump.

“Who’s going to want Joe Biden back in the game?” an anonymous Biden donor reportedly told NBC.

While some Democrats remain hesitant, DNC Vice Chair Jane Kleeb stated that Biden is still a beloved figure and would be welcomed at party events.

Both Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden have signaled their readiness to campaign and fundraise as they transition back to private life in Delaware. Biden has reportedly been traveling to Washington, D.C., meeting with former aides and staying engaged in political discussions.

Since taking office, President Donald Trump has referenced Biden’s administration more than 400 times, attacking him on issues such as immigration, inflation, and economic policies. He has even questioned the validity of official documents signed with an autopen during Biden’s presidency.

Although Biden has not publicly responded to Trump’s attacks, his aides told NBC that he remains defiant and believes the Democratic Party mishandled the 2024 election.
