Will Biden and Pelosi Mend Fences?
Former President Joe Biden and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently had lunch, MS NOW reports.
Rachel Bade: “Could Pelosi be doing a little preemptive damage control before the Biden books go to print?”
“Perhaps. She’d certainly be wise to smooth things over before the release date, given that she could undoubtedly play a starring role in the narrative. Once seen as a top Biden ally — singlehandedly muscling the ex-president’s signature legislative achievements through a narrow majority — Pelosi was later branded a traitor by some in Biden’s orbit for losing faith in his ability to run again.”
“Reports suggest Pelosi has long sought to clear the air with the former president. But until now, it sure seemed like the Bidens were giving her the cold shoulder.”

Trump’s Autopen Case Against Biden Falls Apart
“The Justice Department, in the wake of calls by President Trump to criminally investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., scrutinized whether Mr. Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents, but was ultimately unable to move forward with making a case,” the New York Times reports.
“The department’s failure to build a criminal case against Mr. Biden and his aides is the latest example of its increasing inability to follow through on Mr. Trump’s demands and bring indictments against those he wants to be criminally targeted. Some of those cases were rejected by grand juries, some were rejected by judges and some, like the autopen case, were abandoned by prosecutors.”
Biden Is Heartbroken About What Is Happening
CNN: “The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.”
“There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ installed at the White House.”
“Biden knows that because of decisions he and close advisers made and the trends roiling the country and the world, he risks being forgotten for what he feels he accomplished as president and who he is as a man. He’s watching the attacks on democratic norms and the international order that he warned would come from Trump’s return — and registering the disgust directed his way that so many Democrats feel because they blame him for helping make that possible.”
Voters Say Biden Was Better
“President Trump has become so politically toxic that voters now say Joe Biden — whose unpopularity forced him into early retirement — did a better job as president, according to three new polls,” Axios reports.

Hunter Biden Says He’s $15 Million in Debt
Hunter Biden estimated in a new interview that he is in debt to the tune of up to $15 million, and admitted that “I have no idea” how to pay that amount back, the New York Post reports.
Said Biden: “Nobody’s riding to the rescue for Hunter Biden. My dad, you know, entered the presidency as the poorest man to ever take the office. And he left the presidency as the, you know, not poorest, I mean, he’s fine, but he has no, we have no generational wealth.
Biden Has Raised Little For a Presidential Library
“Former President Joe Biden has raised only a small fraction of the money needed to construct a presidential library, leaving uncertainty about when a library might be built and its viability as a stand-alone project,” the New York Times reports.
“In filings with the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Biden’s library foundation revealed that it had not received any new donations in 2024, the final year of his presidency. The foundation was instead seeded entirely with $4 million left over from his 2021 inauguration.”
Trump Can’t Stop Talking About Biden

Trump Is Making the Same Mistake as Biden
David Axelrod: “Donald Trump recaptured the White House in part by relentlessly exploiting Joe Biden’s failure to heed widespread concerns about the rising cost of living.”

How Biden Lost Americans’ Faith in Immigration
“In the weeks after Joe Biden was elected president, advisers delivered a warning: His approach to immigration could prove disastrous,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Biden had pledged to treat unauthorized immigrants more humanely than President Donald Trump, who generated widespread backlash by separating migrant children from their parents.”
“But Mr. Biden was now president-elect, and his positions threatened to drastically increase border crossings, experts advising his transition team warned in a Zoom briefing in the final weeks of 2020…. That jump, they said, could provoke a political crisis.”
Trump Has Taken a ‘Wrecking Ball’ to Democracy
Former President Joe Biden delivered a strong critique of his successor, arguing to a room of supporters that President Donald Trump has “taken a wrecking ball” to democracy, CNN reports.
