Biden needs to get back in the basement.
Former President Joe Biden is stepping back into the public eye with his first televised interview since leaving the White House — and he’s doing it on one of the most liberal platforms in daytime television. ABC’s “The View”, long known for its hostility toward President Donald Trump, will host both Joe and Jill Biden on May 8.
This highly anticipated interview is expected to offer a soft, scripted narrative for the Bidens, not a serious journalistic challenge. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said the discussion will cover Biden’s “legacy, accomplishments, regrets, and the current political landscape.” But for viewers who follow mainstream media bias, it’s clear the show is offering Biden a friendly stage — not real accountability.
All six current hosts of The View opposed President Trump in 2024, and many enthusiastically backed Vice President Kamala Harris after Democrats pressured Biden to exit the race due to growing concerns over his age and mental fitness.
This isn’t Biden’s first time receiving favorable coverage from left-leaning media. He previously appeared on The View during his 2020 campaign launch and again in 2023, praising the show for its consistent support. In his last appearance, he boldly claimed he would have defeated Trump “again” — despite low approval ratings and persistent questions about his mental sharpness.
Liberal Media Allies Defend Failing Leadership
Liberal commentator and longtime Biden surrogate Ana Navarro has remained one of his most loyal defenders. She not only campaigned for him in Florida but also served as a host at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, attempting to shield Biden from criticism even as voters voiced concern.
Meanwhile, The View embraced Kamala Harris as the party’s future. Goldberg introduced her in 2024 as the “next President of the United States.” But even on this home turf, Harris stumbled. Asked what she would do differently from Biden, Harris blankly responded, “Nothing comes to mind.” That clip became a centerpiece in Trump’s 2024 campaign, exposing Harris as an extension of the same failed leadership.
Damaging Revelations in New Books
The Bidens’ appearance comes at a time when multiple new books and reports are revealing shocking details about the Biden White House. According to recent accounts, senior staff worked to hide signs of Biden’s mental decline, keeping both voters and the press in the dark.
Even members of the liberal media are starting to admit they ignored the warning signs. At the 2025 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Axios journalist Alex Thompson publicly stated that the press “missed a lot of this story” — an admission that confirms what many conservatives have known for years.
Conclusion: The Media’s Double Standard Persists
As President Donald Trump continues leading with strength, clarity, and pro-America policies, the Bidens are leaning on friendly talk shows to reshape their narrative. But for millions of Americans who lived through the last four years, the record is clear.
What’s happening isn’t a return — it’s media-assisted reputation repair.
