The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.
These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?”
The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.
There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed at the White House.


yeah all the same if you don’t vote for someone who might take out the republican you are losing your chance. the hanging chad thing in florida came down to a few votes. republicans have faced losses in heavily republican areas because of all the bull trump they have been doing. if a bunch more in your 70% do that and yours is not there to support. well you, me, we all live with that. clear conscience is great but living in a modern functioning democracy can be pretty nice to.
