According to a report, President Biden still regrets dropping out of the 2024 presidential race last summer after growing pressure from Democrats to step aside.
The president recently told people he still believes he could have won trump in the November election, despite his tough debate performance in June and low approval numbers that forced him to drop out of the race, according to the Washington Post, citing people familiar with the talks.
In the wake of the June 27 debate, more and more Democrats began calling for him to step down so someone else could run in his place.
The president also saw much of his funding drain last summer as donors began to doubt his chances of beating Trump.

Biden dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed her Vice President Kamala Harriswho had little more than three months to campaign before the elections.
Trump beat Harris by 2.2 million votes.
Biden has been careful not to blame Harris while insisting to aides that he could have won, the Post reported.

Even when he dropped out, Biden still believed he could beat Trump, whom he defeated for his first term in 2020, according to the New York Times in September.
Representative James Clyburn, DS.C., may disagree.
Clyburn, who met with Biden earlier this year, told the Post that he had told the president, “Your style doesn’t fit well with the environment we’re in right now,” while discussing style versus substance.
Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, told the Post: “How to govern now to set America up for long-term success has an answer, and how to govern to deal with the presidential election and in the medium to very short term it might have a different answer. The president did things that really put America in a strong position.”

Among the acknowledgments of other mistakes, including his debate performance, Biden has also said he regrets picking Merrick Garland as attorney general, the Post reported.

Persuaded to do so by aides who said Garland would be a consensus choice, Biden has said privately that he believes Garland moved too slowly in prosecuting Trump, while also claiming his son Hunter had been prosecuted too much. aggressive
