YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMayor Pete is the latest Democrat to declare that Joe Biden shouldn’t have run for a second term in 2024 — now that it counts for absolutely nothing. NY Post Assistant Editorial Page Editor Brooke Rogers shares this story.
Biden “should not have run,” the former Transportation secretary told “Meet the Press” viewers, griping that “if he had made that decision [to drop out] sooner, we might have been better off.”
What a brave stand to take, only a year and a half too late to matter, except for maybe salvaging Pete’s 2028 hopes.
Not that Buttigieg will own up to his own role in enabling Biden to cling to the reins of power; just like everyone else in that administration, he’s insisting everyone was powerless to keep him from running again: “It literally was his decision. Nobody else was able to make that decision.”
