Former Dem Strategist Baffled by Joe Biden’s Latest ‘Democracy’ Comments [WATCH]

Former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine said on Friday that no one within the Democratic Party seems able to stop Joe Biden from continuing to publicly comment on the 2024 election.

Turrentine made the comments during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

During the Memorial Day weekend, Biden delivered a speech in Delaware in which he said he was “very proud” of his “record” prior to dropping out of the race.

He also appeared to claim that President Donald Trump had been “last” in favorability.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham described the remarks as another example of Biden refusing to move on from the 2024 contest.

“One of the ironies is that as Donald Trump’s poll numbers went down earlier this year, our poll numbers didn’t go up,” Turrentine said during the segment.

“One of the reasons that they didn’t go up is that we are struggling to move forward, and Biden keeps pulling us backwards.”

“Both of you said it. He wants to relitigate this contest,” Turrentine continued.

“During that speech celebrating Memorial Day today, he once again talked about democracy and this choice we face coming up. We just had an election. The problem that our party has is there’s nobody that can get him to stop doing this, to say, ‘Hey Joe, this isn’t good for you, certainly not good for us.’”

Biden’s public comments have continued even after stepping down as the Democratic nominee in July 2024 following significant backlash from within his own party.

Concerns over his mental fitness were exacerbated after a widely criticized debate performance against President Donald Trump in June, where Biden appeared to lose his train of thought multiple times and struggled to complete his arguments.

The poor showing prompted high-ranking Democrats to take action behind the scenes.

Reports indicated that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and former President Barack Obama privately encouraged Biden to withdraw.

By July 21, Biden officially ended his candidacy and endorsed then-Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place as the party’s nominee.

“He’s bitter at Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Barack Obama,” Turrentine said.

“The only one who could probably get him to stop is Jill, and she’s more bitter than he is. So what we have is the Democratic Party keeps having to try to defend the indefensible, that he was good enough, couldn’t, and could do it when everybody knows he couldn’t.”

Before leaving office in January 2025, Biden spoke to USA Today about the outcome of the 2024 election, expressing hesitation to speculate on what might have happened had he remained in the race.

“It would be presumptuous to say, based on the polling, that I could have won,” Biden said at the time.

President Trump went on to win the 2024 election decisively, securing both the Electoral College, the popular vote, and all seven swing states.

His support grew among key Democratic-leaning constituencies, including Black and Hispanic male voters, contributing to a historic general election victory.
