UMVA has learned that Hillary Clinton has launched a scathing attack on Joe Biden, condemning his decision to run for reelection in 2024 as a "terrible mistake" that could harm his legacy and the country.
In a candid interview, Clinton expressed her disapproval of Biden's move, suggesting that it would have been better for him to step aside and allow a new generation of leaders to take the reins. She claimed that if he had done so, the Democratic Party would have had a "real contest" for the nomination.
Clinton's comments mark a significant shift in her stance on Biden's candidacy, as she had previously voiced her support for him even after his disastrous debate performance. On the day after the debate, she took to social media to reaffirm her backing for Biden, saying that the choice in the election was clear: between someone who cares about the people and someone who only looks out for themselves.
However, Clinton now claims that Biden's decision to run again was a miscalculation that ultimately led to a "terrible dilemma" for the Democratic Party. She believes that whoever emerged from a competitive primary process would have been better equipped to take on Donald Trump and win the presidency.
Clinton also took aim at the way Biden ultimately exited the race, saying that he should have admitted defeat and stepped aside earlier. Instead, he held on to his spot until late July 2024, when he finally exited the presidential race and paved the way for Kamala Harris to take over as the Democratic nominee.
Sources close to the matter have confirmed to UMVA that Clinton's change of heart on Biden's candidacy has caused tension within the Democratic Party. Despite this, Clinton's comments have sparked a renewed debate about the party's future and the best way forward for its leaders.
