Biden’s Post-Presidency Financial Situation Is Not as He Expected: Report

Published

The president America wanted to kick to the curb last year — even before the 2024 election — is finding the transition from the White House to be “less lucrative than what he’d expected,” according to a new report.

According to the Wall Street Journal, former President Joe Biden is not a hot commodity for a number of reasons.

The Journal cited Biden’s “advanced age” and “his unpopularity in Democratic circles.”

The report noted that the increasing scorn Democrats have heaped on Biden’s re-election campaign has also led to less interest in him

Biden offers to speak for between $300,000 and $500,000, but there are few takers, the report said, with at least one group trying to go below Biden’s minimum, a claim Biden’s representatives denied.

Biden wanted to pay off about $800,000 in debt when he left the White House, including some loans on the $2.7 million beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, he bought in 2017, the Journal wrote, citing a source it did not name.

Biden is hardly broke. He will get $10 million from a book deal and gets about $416,000 a year in federal pensions.

Biden is trying to raise money for a presidential center at the University of Delaware; however, the Wall Street Journal wrote, “Lingering frustration with how Biden left the campaign and his lack of transparency about his age-related limitations have made raising money a heavier lift.”

Although Biden had one time said the the University of Pennsylvania wanted to host his presidential center, the Journal indicated that the college was “underwhelmed by the light programming Biden provided” for the Penn Biden Center.

Even Democrats that try to look forward cannot help but debate Biden’s last stand, according to The Washinton Post.

“The overwhelming majority of elected Democrats are focused on moving forward. There’s no interest for them in re-litigating this and neither are the vast majority of voters,” said Tommy Vietor, an ex-Obama administration official who co-hosts the podcast “Pod Save America.”

“But that kind of candor is going to be a prerequisite to be seen as credible. I think it will be important for the 2028 primary; people will be asked, ‘What did you know when?'” he said.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Biden’s decision to seek a second term that ended when he stepped aside for her to run against President Donald Trump.

“The stakes were simply too high,” she wrote in her new book.

“This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision,” she wrote.

Ammar Moussa, who worked on for Biden and Harris in the 2024 campaign season, said the question will linger.

“The Joe Biden age question really fundamentally broke America’s trust in the Democratic Party after years of them feeling that promises had been broken,” Moussa said.

“I don’t think it’s a top concern. I don’t think voters are going to make their decisions for 2026 based on who said what about Joe Biden,” Moussa said. “But if you’re a politician running for office in 2026 and 2028 and you don’t have a good answer on ‘Should Joe Biden have run in 2024’ and come up with the same spin, voters are going to see through you.”

US jobs numbers for February far exceeded expectations to start 2026.

President Trump doubled expectations adding 130,000 jobs when only 55,000 was expected.

The unemployment rate also decreased from 4.4% to 4.3% according to CNBC

President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT

From the president’s Truth Social account:
Tweet by Donald Trump discussing US job numbers, borrowing costs, interest rates, and a balanced budget, emphasizing America's strength and economic potential.

At what point can the American people sue the Federal Reserve Chief for his dereliction of duty? Jerome Powell is now costing every American untold amounts of money by refusing to do his job!

CNBC host Rick Santelli reacted positively:

Even CNN was forced to share the good economic news.

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
