The 42nd president also offered a hint about which Democrat can win in 2028
Bill Clinton expressed public misgivings about Joe Biden’s handling of his son’s pardon Wednesday–as he delivered a blunt assessment of why Democrats lost the election.
He then offered a partial defense of Biden’s actions–and implicit support for the president’s Trump-style claim that his son was the victim of a witch-hunt, saying: “The president is almost certainly right that his son received completely different treatment than he would have if he hadn’t been the president’s son.”
President Joe Biden hugs son Hunter Biden after addressing the nation from the Oval Office of the White House on July 24, 2024 in Washington, DC.Asked directly about why the Democrats lost, Clinton called Biden–with apparent affection–“a stubborn old Irishman.” “There was no plan by anybody,” Clinton said of replacing Biden. “Nobody had a plan because nobody knew what was going to happen. When people started calling me about it, I said, look, the President, Biden, won these primaries as a matter of law. They’re his delegates. So he’s the only one that can give it up.”
