Why is Biden Making Life More Difficult for Other Democrats?

 Joe Biden is being called the worst President of the United States in history. As if he wants to cement his position at the bottom of the heap, Biden is poisoning the land on his way out of office. In addition to making the transition as difficult as possible, he is impacting the Democrat Party. In the words of Tyler O’Neil in an article published in The Daily Signal, Biden “seems not to care about how his words and actions will impact his own party as he leaves the Oval Office.” 

As Jan. 20 approaches, Biden has taken drastic actions that will likely harm the Democrats long-term. He has suggested that he was wrong to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, set ignominious precedents on pardons, and revealed how the woke elites call the shots on the Left.


These moves may help him achieve his goals, but they demonstrate political recklessness.


1. Trashing Kamala Harris

This week, Biden told USA Today that he  would have defeated Donald Trump, while his own vice president, Kamala Harris, historically fell short….


Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race kicking and screaming. While conservatives had rightly raised concerns about Biden’s health even before he won the 2020 presidential election, much of the legacy media and the White House had repeatedly brushed aside any concerns. The denials reached a fever pitch early last year, when White House staff tried to make Americans think Biden was secretly doing cartwheels between his doddering public appearances.


When the president froze and stumbled through a debate with Trump in late June, the jig was up. The legacy media turned on a dime, letting loose the floodgates of concern about the health of a man they had recently sworn was vigorous and spry.


Even so, Biden insisted he would remain in the race….


Even if it were true that Biden might have beaten Trump, the president does damage to his party by saying it. That keeps the party focused on recriminations, rather than charting its path forward.


2. The Ignominious Pardon of Hunter

Biden also weakened his own party by pardoning his son Hunter.


The president didn’t just pardon his son, however. He issued a blanket pardon not only for crimes Hunter Biden had been found guilty of, but also for “offenses against the United States which he … may have committed or taken part in” during a nearly 11-year period.


This pardon didn’t just enable the first son to avoid prison time; it also aimed to prevent the incoming Trump Justice Department from bringing any other case against Hunter Biden during the time in question….


Biden made history in the worst way with an overbroad pardon, but in doing so, he also managed to highlight the serious corruption questions involving Hunter Biden – and some of those questions also implicate Joe Biden himself.


For a party that claims to care about democracy and the rule of law, defending all of that is a horrible look.


3. Honoring George Soros

The Democrats touted Biden as the moderate option in 2020, but it is no secret that the president has governed as a hard-left ideologue.


The Biden-Harris administration’s woke record was arguably the major factor in alienating voters last year. Biden launched “whole of government” efforts to push transgender orthodoxy, climate alarmism, and “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” His administration pressured Big Tech to stifle dissent on COVID-19, prosecuted pro-life protesters while turning a blind eye to pro-abortion vandals, and spent lavishly on “green” initiatives while Americans struggled to make ends meet amid inflation.


That record helped Trump defeat Harris in November, and Biden is doubling down on it.

Last weekend, Biden awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honor – to none other than George Soros. Soros, a Hungarian American billionaire, notoriously funded the “rogue prosecutor” movement, supporting soft-on-crime district attorneys who have emboldened criminals by refusing to charge certain crimes. Soros has also bankrolled much of the activist Left through his Open Society Foundations, which his son Alex now runs. Fittingly, Alex Soros received the medal on behalf of his father….


By awarding Soros the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Biden was making clear what many Americans already suspected – that Soros is one of the ones really calling the shots in Washington

According to O’Neil, Biden has taken other actions that could damage Democrats future prospects. He “banned offshore drilling across more than 600 million acres of water” – something that will benefit Soro’s activist groups.

O’Neil reports that other Democrats are warning against “efforts to enforce transgender orthodoxy, especially when it comes to men in women’s sports.” However, Biden is making it more difficult for them.

Whether Biden is acting intentionally in revenge or with other intentions, he “is making life more difficult for his party” in his final month in office.
