No shit? He still resents the Dems booting him out.
Former President Joe Biden may want to be back in the political arena to try and help the Democratic Party emerge from the wilderness.
However, it does not appear that many Democrats are overly receptive to the offer from the 82-year-old former president, whom many blame for last November's stinging election setbacks, when the party lost control of the White House and Senate and fell short in winning back the House majority from the GOP.
"As far as Biden’s position within the current state of the Democratic Party, I think his time is over. I think his time has passed. The train has sort of moved on," a Democrat strategist who asked for anonymity to speak more freely told Fox News.
Biden met last month with Ken Martin, the newly elected chair of the Democratic National Committee, to offer his help, a source with knowledge confirmed to Fox News last week. Word of the meeting and Biden's offer to help fundraise or campaign for the party was first reported by NBC News.
The offer of assistance by the former president comes as recent polling indicates the Democratic Party brand is in desperate need of repair.
The party's favorable rating sank to all-time lows in separate national polls conducted this month by CNN and NBC News. Those numbers followed a record low for Democrats in a Quinnipiac University survey in the field in February.
Additionally, the latest Fox News National poll, which was released last week, indicated Congressional Democrats' approval rating at 30%, near an all-time low.
While some Democrats praise Biden for his past accomplishments, including during his single term in the White House, many say it is time to move on as the party aims to rebound.
"President Biden did a lot of remarkably great things for this country," longtime Democratic consultant John MacNeil told Fox News. "I’m sure there is still some love left for him."
However, MacNeil, who was part of the leadership of Unite the Country, a pro-Biden super PAC that helped boost the then-former vice president to victory in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, pointed to the 2024 election and noted that Biden "is unfortunately and unfairly the guy who’s going to get pegged for the loses."
Joe Caiazzo, a veteran Democratic strategist who served on the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns of Sen. Bernie Sanders, told Fox News that "there is an appetite for a message anchored in economic populism wrapped in a desire for broad system change. Following November's results, it is more than fair to say that folks are looking towards the future."
