Biden Claims World Leaders Still Seek His Advice After Resignation, Despite stepping down amid criticism and political pressure, former President Joe Biden says he continues to receive calls from global leaders—including European heads of state—seeking his guidance.
Speaking at the Society for Human Resource Management convention in San Diego, Biden told the audience that while he isn’t officially involved in policy anymore, he still offers private counsel. “I’m not [getting involved], but I am providing counsel,” he said, adding that “circumstances have changed.”
Biden also claimed that lawmakers from both parties continue to reach out to him for ideas, not because he has all the answers, but to exchange thoughts.
Critics swiftly called the remarks out-of-touch, citing economic woes, border issues, and internal scandals during his presidency. His unexpected comment about leaving tire marks with his ’67 Corvette added to the skepticism.
Biden’s final months in office were marred by controversy, including the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and preemptive pardons to figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Hunter Biden. Recent ICE reports revealed vetting failures for migrant child sponsors, intensifying criticism.
Commentators say Biden’s claim of being a sought-after advisor, despite these challenges, seems implausible—if not delusional.
