(TheProudRepublic.com) – A former White House official slammed Joe Biden as cavalier and selfish for his actions in the final weeks of his administration, which has left Democrats scrambling and conservatives cheering.
As the transition to President-elect Trump’s administration unfolds, Biden’s conspicuous absence from public view raises questions about his leadership and commitment to the American people.
Biden, once a fixture in the media spotlight, has become increasingly elusive since the Democrats’ crushing electoral defeat.
The lame-duck president has been dodging unscripted appearances and press questions, leaving a leadership vacuum that is causing concern even among his own party faithful.
Unlike his predecessors, Biden has failed to schedule a post-election press conference, a telling sign of his reluctance to face tough questions about his administration’s failures.
Instead, he has been jet-setting on international trips and attending ceremonial events, seemingly more interested in burnishing his legacy than addressing the pressing issues facing the nation.
The lack of leadership from the White House has not gone unnoticed. Democrats are expressing frustration with Biden’s hands-off approach during this critical transition period.
“He’s been so cavalier and selfish about how he approaches the final weeks of the job,” a former White House official stated.
Another Democrat close to senior lawmakers did not mince words, stating, “There is no leadership coming from the White House.”
Meanwhile, Biden’s aides have attempted to justify his absence, claiming that few want to hear from him and that he is focused on ensuring a peaceful transition of power.
However, this explanation rings hollow to many who see it as an abdication of his responsibilities as the current president.
The president’s retreat from public view comes at a time when Democrats are desperately seeking direction on how to combat Trump’s impending return to power.
Instead of rallying his party and outlining a clear strategy, Biden seems content to fade into the background, leaving his supporters in disarray.
Some Democrats argued that Biden should be using his remaining time in office to highlight his administration’s accomplishments and take aggressive actions to protect Democratic interests.
As Biden’s influence wanes, potential Democrat presidential candidates for 2028 are already positioning themselves.
Names like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer are being floated as possible contenders, signaling a shift away from the old guard of the Democrat Party.
The writing is on the wall for the Biden era, and even his fellow Democrats are acknowledging the shifting political landscape. Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) succinctly captured the sentiment, stating, “Elections have consequences — It’s a new sheriff in town.”
As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, Biden’s absence is already being felt in Washington.
A Democrat close to senior lawmakers noted that conversations no longer mention Biden, suggesting that Trump’s influence is already permeating the corridors of power.
As the transition progresses, it is becoming increasingly evident that the era of Biden’s weak leadership is coming to an end, making way for a renewed focus on American strength and values under President Trump.
