Joe Biden Says World Leaders Still Call Him for Advice—Even After Leaving Office
Despite stepping down from public office, former President Joe Biden claims he remains a valued voice among world leaders.
During a recent speaking event in San Diego, Biden revealed that several European heads of state continue to contact him for political advice. He emphasized that while he’s no longer active in policy-making, he remains open to providing guidance when asked.
“They’re not calling because they think I have all the answers,” Biden said. “They’re calling because we’ve built relationships over decades—they trust me to be honest.”
Biden also noted that lawmakers from both the Democratic and Republican parties still reach out to him privately for insights.
However, his appearance at the event also sparked some confusion. At one point, Biden made a lighthearted remark about “laying rubber with my ’67 Corvette,” which left some attendees scratching their heads.
A Divisive Legacy
Critics were quick to weigh in, questioning whether Biden’s ongoing advisory role aligns with the more turbulent moments of his presidency. Among the challenges cited were:
Rising inflation and gas prices
Immigration issues at the southern border
Controversies involving his son, Hunter Biden
The impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
Preemptive pardons and healthcare-related policy missteps
Some have expressed concerns about Biden’s leadership during his final years in office, while others suggest his continued involvement signals stability and trust on the international stage.
Political analysts note that Biden’s remarks reflect an effort to maintain a positive legacy, even as critics argue that his public comments often blur the line between perception and reality.
“He may no longer be in office, but Biden clearly still sees himself as a global statesman,” said one expert. “Whether that’s appropriate or not will depend on how the public views his impact.”
