Media reported Biden's regret over his refusal to run for U.S. president

The incumbent US President Joe Biden privately regrets his decision to withdraw from the election of the head of state. This was reported by The Washington Post (WP) on December 28, citing interlocutors.

"Biden and some of his advisers still believe that he should have stayed in the election race, despite the uneven performance at the debates and low poll numbers that prompted Democrats to press him to withdraw his candidacy," the material said.

According to the interlocutors of the publication, in recent days Biden and his associates said that he could still defeat President-elect Donald Trump.

It is noted that on the eve of the end of his 50-year political career, the outgoing head of the White House began to realize a number of his strategic miscalculations, and even some of his closest advisers recently admitted that his style of government has not always corresponded to the present day.

According to the newspaper, allies often find the White House chief of staff in a pensive and sometimes bad mood. According to a source familiar with the situation, the president will travel to the Vatican to "seek solace and relief."
