2024 didn’t exactly go as planned for Joe and Jill Biden. At the start of the year, they were gearing up for a full-blown presidential campaign, confidently anticipating another four years in the White House. But the train derailed in spectacular fashion, leaving the Bidens and their Democratic allies scrambling for damage control.
It all fell apart in June. The first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump was an unmitigated disaster for the sitting president. Biden’s cognitive struggles—something many Americans have noticed for years—were broadcast to the world in brutal clarity. Trump didn’t just beat Biden on that stage; he annihilated him.
The fallout was swift and brutal. Democrat powerbrokers, who’d already been quietly uneasy about Biden’s chances, officially hit the panic button. They couldn’t risk four more years of Trump, and they certainly couldn’t pin their hopes on a president who fumbled through sentences and struggled to hold his ground. By July, the pressure on Joe to step aside became unbearable. Reluctantly, he complied.
And just like that, Kamala Harris was anointed as the Democrats’ new standard-bearer. Unsurprisingly, Harris fared no better. Earlier this month, Trump handily defeated her in the general election, delivering a humiliating rebuke to the Democratic Party’s flailing leadership.
For Joe and Jill Biden, the humiliation has been monumental. Watching your own party turn on you because they no longer believe in your abilities? That’s a level of public embarrassment few could endure. But Biden tried to bow out gracefully—emphasis on “tried.”
Last Friday, the Bidens hosted a farewell dinner on the South Lawn of the White House. It was supposed to be a touching tribute to Joe’s decades of public service. What it ended up being was a cringe-worthy spectacle of self-congratulation and revisionist history.
Tears, Toasts, and Revisionist History
Jill Biden took to the podium to shower her husband with praise, describing his presidency as “breathtaking.” She toasted to “my husband and hero,” while Joe, clearly emotional, dabbed tears from his eyes with a tissue.
Touching? Maybe. But also incredibly tone-deaf.
Joe Biden, ever the career politician, followed up with a speech thanking his donors and allies. “We began this journey to redeem the soul of the nation,” he said, sticking to the tired rhetoric that has defined his presidency.
But here’s the thing: no amount of poetic waxing about “redeeming the soul of the nation” can erase the harsh reality of Biden’s America.
A Presidency Defined by Failure
Under Joe Biden’s leadership, Americans watched their economy crumble. Inflation soared, making everyday necessities—food, gas, housing—almost unaffordable for millions. Meanwhile, our southern border turned into an open invitation for millions of illegal immigrants, while law-abiding citizens struggled just to make ends meet.
The Democrats tried to blame everyone else—Trump, Republicans, even the weather—but on Election Day, the American people delivered their verdict loud and clear. Biden’s failures weren’t just his alone; they symbolized the broader failure of the Democratic Party’s agenda.
The result? A total Republican sweep. The presidency, the House, and the Senate all flipped red in a resounding rejection of Bidenomics, open-border policies, and woke overreach.
Farewell, Bidens
Jill and Joe can raise all the toasts they want. They can pat themselves on the back for “historic achievements” that only they seem to see. But the American people have spoken.
It’s time for the Bidens to pack their bags. Trump is on his way back to the White House, and with him, a chance to clean up the mess this administration has left behind.
Joe Biden’s farewell dinner might have been an emotional moment for him and his supporters, but for the rest of us, it was just a reminder of everything that went wrong. January 2025 can’t come soon enough.
