Democrats Criticize Biden as Trump Gains Influence

President Joe Biden has largely withdrawn from public view following the Democrats' electoral loss, focusing on managing the presidential transition and finalizing his legacy projects. This absence has left a leadership vacuum within the Democratic Party as it prepares for Donald Trump's return to power. Biden's reticence is attributed to his belief that he owes little to a party that sidelined him and his focus on ensuring a peaceful transfer of power. Democratic officials express concern over the lack of direction and motivation to counter Trump's upcoming presidency.
