Bidens 'more focused on themselves than the party': Chuck Todd

() Former “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd criticized former President Joe Biden and his wife Jill for prioritizing personal interests over their political party in light of their recent joint interview on “The View.”

“It’s pretty clear the Bidens were always much more focused on themselves than the party, whether it was before running for president, while running for president, and certainly now,” Todd said Thursday on ‘s “On Balance.”

Todd’s comments came in response to recent appearances by the Bidens in which they defended themselves against claims of cognitive decline during Joe Biden’s final year in office.

Todd said the former president lacks “self-awareness” and disputed the notion that Biden was primarily a “party man.”

“I thought Joe Biden was a party man, kind of like Bob Dole … if you’re a party man, you worry about your party before yourself,” Todd explained, adding that he would “stand first in line” to admit his misconception about the former president.

Todd placed blame primarily on the Democratic Party rather than the media for not addressing Biden’s issues sooner, stating, “The Democratic Party is the one that decided not to do anything about this. They’re the ones that didn’t speak out.”

“Donald Trump has his own political problems right now … but Joe Biden shows up,” Todd said, suggesting Trump would “love nothing more than for voters to be judging him” against Biden as an alternative.
