Hillary Clinton stated that former President Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection in 2024 was a mistake. During an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick, Clinton argued that Biden could have strengthened the Democratic position against Donald Trump by stepping aside earlier for a competitive primary. She noted that Biden had previously pledged to serve as a bridge to the next generation of leadership and suggested that had he announced he would not run in late summer 2023, it would have allowed for a more robust contest among potential candidates. Clinton expressed that she believes any candidate emerging from a competitive primary could have defeated Trump in the 2024 election. Her comments mark a shift from her earlier support for Biden's reelection campaign, where she had defended his candidacy as the most viable option to win against Trump.
