Hillary Clinton sat down with The New Yorker’s David Remnick and, in between trying to rewrite her own role in the Joe Biden disaster, let slip the one admission Democrats have spent a year trying to bury.
Everyone’s talking about Hillary calling Biden’s reelection bid a “terrible mistake,” but to me, that’s not even the biggest reveal in the interview.
“He made a terrible mistake,” Hillary said. “He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.” She went on to claim that if Biden had stepped aside as promised, “we would have had a real contest,” and whoever emerged from it “would have beaten Donald Trump.” That’s hilarious considering she enthusiastically endorsed that very bid back in 2023. Now that the wreckage is impossible to ignore. Once again, Democrats are rushing to rewrite history and their roles in the cover-up.
But that was the headline-grabbing part. It’s also the least interesting part.
The real story was right after, when Remnick pushed Hillary on why none of the Democrat Party’s supposedly powerful voices, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or Hillary herself, said anything publicly before Biden’s catastrophic June 2024 debate against Trump.
Her answer was extremely revealing.
“I think there were a lot of conversations going on behind the scenes,” Hillary said. “I certainly am aware of that, and participated in a number of them, but there was no way to convince him by going public.”
Read that again. Private conversations. Plural. Before the debate. She was a part of some of them.
The official Democrat Party story has been that Biden’s meltdown on that debate stage was a shocking, one-off event that nobody saw coming, and that the party only began discussing his viability afterward. Hillary just torched that narrative herself. She admitted that efforts to push Biden out were already underway behind closed doors well before he ever stumbled through a sentence on stage.
