Biden Struggles to Adjust to Private Life as Trump Attacks

October 11, 2025 · 10:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

“Since Donald Trump entered the White House nearly nine months ago, most Democrats have wanted Joe Biden to stay on the sidelines — and the former president has mostly obliged,” the Washington Post reports.

“But behind the scenes, the lifelong politician is uneasily adjusting to a quieter, lower-profile life and remains bitter about being pushed to drop out of the 2024 race,”

“Biden remains a voracious consumer of news and regularly debates with his small team of advisers in Wilmington, Delaware, on whether to weigh in on Trump’s latest actions and statements — especially the direct, often unsubstantiated attacks on Biden in settings including an address to the United Nations and a rare gathering of military generals.”
