Political twist that has both sides buzzing, former President Joe Biden is reportedly making moves behind the scenes to regain relevance within the Democratic Party. According to an NBC report, Biden quietly met with Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin in a bid to help the party recover lost ground after former President Donald Trump’s resounding victory in 2024.
Biden, who was unceremoniously ousted from the White House, has allegedly pledged to raise funds, campaign, and do whatever it takes to assist the struggling party. But with Democrats grappling with plummeting approval ratings, many are questioning whether Biden is the lifeline they need—or an anchor that will drag them down even further.
NBC sources claim that Biden’s outreach has been met with a lukewarm response. The party, still reeling from the devastating election loss, appears hesitant to embrace the man many see as a key reason for their downfall. Even Biden’s closest allies seem uncertain about his role in the party’s future. Still, that hasn’t stopped the former president from attempting to carve out a position for himself as a Democratic Party elder statesman.
Adding to the intrigue, former First Lady Jill Biden is reportedly also gearing up to hit the campaign trail and raise money for Democrats as they attempt to rebuild. Meanwhile, Biden is said to be working on a memoir that will shape his legacy—though many critics suggest he might want to start by recalling his own name.
Reactions to the report have been swift and merciless. Conservative commentators and Trump supporters have mocked Biden’s apparent attempt at a political resurgence, seeing it as a gift to the GOP. Social media erupted with laughter, with users pointing out that the Democratic Party has little to gain by reattaching itself to a figure so closely associated with its recent downfall.
Some Democrats may appreciate Biden’s efforts, but his presence is just as likely to deepen the fractures already forming within the party. To Republicans, he remains a symbol of failed policies, economic struggles, and international missteps. To Democrats, he is the face of an election loss they would rather forget.
Whether Biden’s attempted comeback is serious or simply a desperate bid for relevance, one thing is certain: this latest twist in the political saga is one that neither party can ignore.
