As of March 27, 2025, here are the latest developments involving former President Joe Biden:
Biden Aides Warned Against Kamala Harris’s Nomination
A new book titled “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House” reveals that top campaign aides to Joe Biden actively discouraged Democratic donors from pushing the president to withdraw from the 2024 election. They viewed the potential nomination of Kamala Harris as a “mistake” that could play into Donald Trump’s hands. Despite their efforts, Biden withdrew from the race on July 21, 2024, endorsing Harris, who ultimately lost the election to Trump.
Biden’s Return to Political Activity
Former President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, have expressed their intention to re-engage in political activities. They’ve offered their support to Democratic Party leadership, including fundraising and campaigning efforts. This initiative comes despite declining approval ratings for Democrats since President Trump’s election.
Public Appearance at Broadway Event
The Bidens made their first significant public appearance since leaving the White House by attending the opening night of “Othello” on Broadway in New York City. The event featured performances by Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. Their attendance came shortly after former aides criticized Biden’s attempts to re-enter party politics, suggesting he should make way for new leadership.
