Just when you thought the Democratic Party couldn’t sink any lower, here comes the 82-year-old former president and his wife, determined to “save” a party that wants nothing to do with them. The irony is almost too delicious to bear.

The Dynamic Duo Nobody Asked For
In what might be the most unwanted comeback since New Coke, former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill are desperately trying to remain relevant by offering to “help” revitalize a Democratic Party that just spent months pushing them out the door. The 82-year-old career politician, whose presidency ended in what can only be described as a spectacular display of incompetence, is now convinced he’s the one to save the sinking Democratic ship. This is like calling the arsonist to put out the fire they started.
The Bidens recently met with Ken Martin, the new Democratic National Committee chairman, to discuss how they might assist the party in “regaining its viability.” Let that sink in – the man whose leadership drove Democratic popularity to historic lows now wants to be the party’s savior. It’s like watching someone who just totaled your car offering to teach you how to drive.
A Party in Shambles
The Democratic Party’s popularity has crashed to a pathetic 27% approval rating among registered voters, according to NBC News polling. This shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s been paying attention to the disaster that was the Biden administration. Four years of open borders, rampant inflation, international embarrassments, and cognitive decline will do that to a political brand. Yet somehow, in the twisted logic that only exists in Washington DC, the architect of this failure believes he’s the solution rather than the problem.
Speaking of Jill Biden, historian Douglas Brinkley hit the nail on the head describing her motivations. This isn’t about saving the Democratic Party – it’s about settling scores. The Bidens are reportedly furious with Nancy Pelosi and the Obamas for forcing Joe off the ticket. Nothing says “healthy democracy” like octogenarians plotting political revenge against their own party. Remember when Democrats pretended to care about unity? Good times.
The Memoir Nobody Will Read
Both Bidens are planning to write books about their time in office, with Joe reportedly “struggling to find a theme” for his memoir. Allow me to suggest a few titles: “How I Destroyed America’s Economy in Four Short Years,” “Border Crisis: A Presidential Success Story,” or perhaps “Inflation Nation: Printing Our Way to Prosperity.” I’m sure publishers are lining up to pay millions for the ramblings of a man who couldn’t complete a coherent sentence during a press conference.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama is working on the second volume of his memoirs, undoubtedly filled with explanations of how his protégé’s failures had nothing to do with his own policies. The Democratic literary industrial complex continues to churn out these monuments to self-importance while the American people struggle with the economic reality these politicians created. Nothing quite says “man of the people” like a multi-million dollar book deal while voters can’t afford groceries.
The Delusion Continues
Perhaps the most laughable aspect of this entire saga is Biden’s steadfast refusal to accept any responsibility for the Democratic Party’s devastating defeat in 2024. According to reports, he remains “defiant” about his campaign decisions and doesn’t believe Trump’s victory had anything to do with his presence in the race. This level of self-delusion would be impressive if it weren’t so dangerous. The Democratic Party’s problems run deep, but the first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem.
When President Trump was asked about Biden’s potential return to politics, he reportedly responded with a simple “I hope so.” Of course he does! Trump knows better than anyone that having Biden as the face of the Democratic Party is the gift that keeps on giving to Republicans. If Democrats have any sense of self-preservation left, they’ll politely decline the Bidens’ generous offer and start fresh with leadership that doesn’t require afternoon naps and staff handlers to navigate basic political functions.
