“I think what I saw was a slow retreat into the bushes Joe Biden Here,” he said.
“This is not the approach that Joe Biden has taken, at least publicly since the election, certainly, and even since he conceded the nomination to Kamala Harris,” Duffer said, citing the movie “The West Wing” as an example of the hard-line approach. Accusing the political leader. “But there are things he could do through executive authority. A lot of the things he could do would likely set a target for Donald Trump to go after first.”

“I think back to the interview I did with Joe Biden,” Duffer said. “He's been president for about three weeks, and I was talking to him about a book I wrote. And part of the takeaway I learned from him is he's trying to assert himself as Joe Biden, the man who was elected president.” ”
He continued: “Not just Barack Obama's vice president, and not just the man who defeated Donald Trump.” “But now this has become part of his identity, and it may define who he is. Two weeks before the election, I had a conversation with a senior person in the White House, and I said, if Harris loses, most of the way Biden will be remembered, at least in the short term, is as the guy who “It was between Trump's two terms.”
“At this moment, this is the way he is acting,” Duffer said.
