Dave Weigel, now with Semafor, wonders when Joe Biden will reemerge, noting “[Donald] Trump didn’t speak in public between January 20, 2021 and CPAC on February 28, 2021. Is there a room/group that would welcome Biden as warmly as CPAC did Trump? (Maybe a Peltier family reunion?)”
It would not be surprising if the answer is “never.” Biden’s already limited public schedule became even more limited after he was allegedly strong-armed out of the Democratic nomination. Axios noticed he did no “public events in 43 of the first 75 days since he dropped his re-election bid.” He held no farewell public press conference, and he conducted his final interview as president with Lawrence O’Donnell, who airs at 10 p.m. on MSNBC. His farewell address was a bitter warning that “oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy,” right after he gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros.
