'There's no real point': Dems privately bash Biden's last few weeks of presidency

Democrats are complaining that President Joe Biden has essentially disappeared since Donald Trump won re-election last month, which sources inside the party told Politico has left many inside the party feeling has created a leadership vacuum. The president has not yet scheduled a post-election press conference and has spoke only seven words to reporters during nearly two weeks since vice president Kamala Harris' loss, and his schedule has been notably light in the final weeks in the White House, reported the outlet. “He’s been so cavalier and selfish about how he approaches the final weeks of the job,” said a former White House official. “All he’s done in the last year has hurt the party every step of the way.” Some allies say that Biden is simply "reading the room" and getting a sense that his contributions weren't welcome. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates insisted the president was "making every day of this term count" and “leading by example for the sake of American democracy, honoring his campaign promise to respect the will of the voters and provide an orderly transition," but some party officials believe there's not a coherent strategy for pushing back against Trump.
