Why the White House Says Inflation, Not Biden, Lost the Election

The White House recently dismissed claims that President Joe Biden was responsible for the Democratic Party’s defeat in the presidential election, attributing the loss primarily to global inflation following the COVID-19 pandemic. / Yonhap News.

The White House has recently rejected criticisms of President Joe Biden regarding the Democratic Party’s loss in the presidential election, pointing to global inflation stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic as the main factor behind the defeat.

During a press briefing on Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden’s decision not to seek re-election was right. She refuted speculations that Biden would have won if he had stayed in the race, emphasizing Biden’s pride in that decision. She also praised Vice President Kamala Harris for her notable achievements during the campaign.

Jean-Pierre explained that, despite Biden’s administration’s significant accomplishments, supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures arising from the COVID-19 pandemic had placed enormous political strain on governing parties worldwide.

Analysts suggest these economic challenges led to electoral setbacks for incumbent parties in the United States and worldwide.

For the remainder of his term, Biden plans to prioritize support for Ukraine, efforts to resolve the conflict in Gaza, and strengthening alliances in the Indo-Pacific region. He will also focus on hurricane recovery assistance, passing the National Defense Authorization Act, and appointing judges. Additionally, Biden will participate in the G20 and APEC summits to foster international cooperation.

The White House has stated its willingness to cooperate with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team. However, they noted that Trump’s team has not yet signed a memorandum of understanding with the White House. The administration clarified that it is standard procedure for the President-elect to engage with world leaders during this period.

When recently questioned about the possibility of pardoning his son Hunter Biden, President Biden responded with a firm “No.”
