Former President Joe Biden made a rare appearance on The View this week alongside his wife, Jill, and if Democrats thought this would be a healing moment for the party — they might want to change the channel.

In an interview that veered between defensive and delusional, Biden insisted that had he stayed in the 2024 race, he “could have beaten Trump.” That claim — delivered despite a widely panned debate performance and a political base in disarray — only added fuel to ongoing concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness. For voters already worried that his mind is melting faster than a D.C. snowball in July, this appearance didn’t exactly put those concerns to rest.

And let’s talk approval ratings. Biden’s party is currently circling the drain with a 21% approval rating. That’s not just underwater — that’s somewhere near the Mariana Trench. Yet here he was, smirking on daytime TV, assuring Americans he was still their best shot. It’s as if no one in his inner circle has the courage to tell him the campaign bus drove off the cliff months ago.
Former Pres. Biden responds to reports questioning his cognitive abilities while in office, saying on #TheView, “They are wrong.”

But Biden didn’t stop at self-praise. He then took a swipe at the very voters he once claimed to represent — calling out Trump supporters as sexist for not backing Vice President Kamala Harris after he stepped down. According to Biden, the only explanation for Harris’s nosedive at the polls is prejudice, not, say, the vice president’s own historically low favorability ratings or complete inability to connect with swing voters.
“They went the sexist route,” he said, implying that voters just couldn’t handle a woman — and a woman of color, no less — in the Oval Office.
Right. That’s the ticket. It’s not that the Democratic Party parachuted in a deeply unpopular VP as the replacement candidate. It’s not that voters have legitimate concerns. It’s sexism.

The Bidens then turned their ire toward the media — the same media that has carried water for them for years. In a stunning lack of self-awareness, they blamed the press for stoking concerns about Joe’s cognitive state, brushing aside the repeated mental gaffes, blank stares, and awkward silences that have become a hallmark of his recent public appearances.
