Joe Biden blamed Kamala Harris’s loss on genderism and racism, rejects age concerns world news

New York: Former President Joe Biden says he is responsible for the final decline for Donald Trump’s victory, but at least in part, at least, blamed Kamala Harris’s loss for sexism and racism.Biden, who left the post in January, addressed the disastrous 2024 election of Democrats, during the Thursday interview on ABC’s “The View”, his age and concern about Trump’s divisive leadership.“82 -year -old Democrat said that he has deliberately refrained from public speaking till this week to give Trump more than 100 days without his intervention, as usually the tradition after a change in the White House. When asked about the last election, Biden said that he was surprised by the role that he had played the gender and the race in the competition. “They went to the sexist route,” Biden said of criticism that “a woman cannot lead a country and a mixed race woman.” He said: “I was in charge and he won, so I take responsibility.” Biden has largely stepped away from national politics since leaving the White House. He is not expected to play a central role in democratic affairs as the party turns under the leadership of a new generation, although he admitted on Thursday that he maintained regular contact with Harris and offered his guidance on his political future. Biden said, “What she is going to do is a difficult decision about it. I hope she is engaged,” Biden said, to share her specific advice. Biden dismissed concerns about his cognitive decline inspired by the performance of a devastating debate in June last June. He refused to criticize democratic leaders who privately pressurized him to quit his campaign. He said, “I was the only reason for getting out of the race that I did not want to have a divided Democratic party,” he said that the broad party did not bought in concerns about its age after a “terrible” debate performance, but by democratic leadership and some very important contributors. , Thursday’s presence also marked the first joint interview of Biden with the first woman Jill Biden after leaving Washington. She dismissed those who believe that she made a protective cocoon around her husband, while in the office to protect her from investigation about her age. “This was especially hurt by some of our so -called friends,” he said about criticism. “I was with the day -night Joe … and I didn’t create a cocoon around her,” she continued. “You saw him in the Oval Office. You saw him giving a speech. He was not hidden anywhere.” Meanwhile, the former President did not talk about Tram’s talks in a job performance. Biden said, “He had the worst day with any President.”
