Trump reveals Biden held Obama and Pelosi accountable for 2024 election loss
Reflecting on his meeting with Biden at the White House after Kamala Harris' failed presidential bid, Trump told the magazine, “I went to the White House a few months before this all happened. I guess I had won… [Biden] asked for a meeting, and I went and we talked for a little while.”
Trump revealed that Biden was “very angry” in the aftermath of his party's loss. Despite being replaced by the former vice president in the race, the 82-year-old did not blame Harris. “He talked so low…” Trump said of Biden, adding, “And then he started getting more. And I asked him, I said, ‘So who do you blame?’”
“Because he [Biden] was very angry, you know, he was a very angry guy, actually,” Trump said before revealing the former president's reply. “And he said, ‘I blame Barack.’ And I never think of him as ‘Barack.’ You know, you always hear ‘Obama.’ You say, you have to think about that for a second. And he [Biden] said, ‘And I also blame Nancy Pelosi,’” the POTUS added.
