Joe Biden says world leaders still

Joe Biden, despite stepping down under heavy criticism, claimed during a San Diego convention that world leaders continue to reach out for his advice. He told attendees he has received calls from several European leaders asking him to remain engaged, though he emphasized he is not officially involved in global affairs anymore.

Biden also noted that he continues to communicate with U.S. lawmakers. “I’m dealing with a lot of Democrats and Republican colleagues, just to bounce things off me,” he explained during his appearance.

The remarks were made in an interview at the Society for Human Resource Management event, where Biden reflected on his current role outside the presidency.

However, confusion arose when Biden made an unusual reference about “laying rubber with my ’67 Corvette.” The offhand remark drew criticism and added fuel to ongoing concerns about his clarity in public statements.

Political analysts have questioned the weight of Biden’s comments, with one noting that the claim of foreign leaders seeking his advice is “bold” given his controversial exit from office.

Throughout his presidency, Biden faced significant challenges, including persistent inflation, struggles at the U.S. border, and various scandals involving his family. These issues, many argue, weakened his public credibility.

Ultimately, mounting political pressure and controversy contributed to Biden’s decision not to seek re-election, though his recent comments suggest he still sees himself as an influential figure behind the scenes.
