Chuck Todd said former President Joe Biden is to blame for President Donald Trump’s return to the White House because Biden lacked the leadership to permanently “turn the page” on him. (Watch the video below.)
In a “Chuck ToddCast” shared Friday, the former “Meet the Press” host noted that collective pushback to Trump’s first presidency indicated the country was convinced his type of leadership was harmful to “the long-term image” of the United States.
“Which is why Biden won,” Todd said. “But Biden’s presidency didn’t turn the page ... He wasn’t a good enough leader.”
“A better leader helps the country turn the page,” he continued. “You know, we rarely go backwards as a country, so how bad of a presidency do you have to have to encourage the country to go backwards? And the perception of the Biden presidency was it’s just a weak and ineffective presidency.”
“It’s possible some of the things he signed into law will have long-term success, but the fact of the matter is his legacy is Donald Trump came back,” Todd said. “And that’s on Joe Biden.”
