Former President Joe Biden has hired a veteran Democratic Party operative to help repair his reputation and legacy, according to a new report from Politico.
The former presidnet is now working with Chris Meagher, a Biden Administration veteran worked as deputy press secretary and Defense Department spokesperson. He has also worked for Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Meagher was a driving force behind Biden’s appearance on ABC’s “The View” Thursday, which was his first live interview since leaving the White House, Politico reported.
The hiring comes at a pivotal time for the former president, as many Democrats have blamed the party’s crushing November election loss on Biden’s refusal to step down until his disastrous debate performance with President Trump last June. Biden ended up endorsing former Vice President Kamala Harris in a chaotic process that defied a behind-the-scenes plot from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and former President Barack Obama to nominate someone else.
Biden is also facing a major hit to his legacy as President Trump appears poised to release the transcripts from his predecessor’s infamous interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was investigating Biden’s handling of classified documents. While Hur opted not to bring charges, he stressed that Biden did likely commit violations but would not be convicted by a jury due to his forgetfulness and obvious lack of cognitive ability.
