Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized former President Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection in 2024 during an event in New York City on June 16, 2026. Clinton stated that Biden made a significant error for himself, his legacy, and the country. She suggested that if Biden had announced he would not run in late summer 2023, the Democratic Party could have had a competitive primary, potentially leading to a nominee who could defeat Donald Trump. Clinton expressed that Biden's decision to continue running created a difficult situation for the party. Following a challenging debate in June 2024, Biden withdrew from the election in July, and Vice President Kamala Harris took his place on the ticket, ultimately losing to Trump in the general election.
