Summary
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Joe Biden’s decision to run for reelection in 2024, calling it a “terrible mistake” that hurt his legacy and the country. Clinton, who was a one-time ally of Biden, claimed he went back on his word and that Kamala Harris would have had a chance to win if she was the candidate from the start. Clinton’s comments come after Biden exited the presidential race in late July 2024 and the Democratic Party installed Harris as its presidential nominee without a primary vote.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Clinton’s criticism of Biden’s decision to run for reelection is a familiar tune. She had previously supported Biden, but now claims he made a “terrible mistake.” The Democratic Party’s narrative shift over Biden’s health and decision to seek a second term has led to Clinton’s change of heart. The familiar question of who would have been a better candidate has resurfaced. Clinton’s comments are a reminder that the performance of politics often involves a script with familiar lines and expected criticisms.
