Hillary Clinton Calls Biden's 2024 Reelection Bid a 'Terrible Mistake'
Clinton said Biden should have passed the torch earlier, arguing a competitive primary could have given Democrats a better chance against Donald Trump.
- Hillary Clinton called President Joe Biden's decision to seek reelection a "terrible mistake" on Monday during an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick, arguing he should have passed the torch to the next generation of Democratic leadership.
- Biden previously pledged to serve as a bridge to the next generation, but decided to run anyway. Clinton argued he should have announced his departure in the late summer of '23 to allow a competitive primary.

- The Democratic National Committee's autopsy report released in May did not address President Joe Biden's decision to seek a second term, though it noted the administration did not "position or prepare the vice president" for a successful campaign.
