CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere predicted that President Biden's legacy could be largely forgotten after he lost the President-Elect. Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
“I think it's a very difficult thing for Joe Biden to know that he's running for president as opposed to Donald Trump,” Dovere said. “And here he is being replaced by Donald Trump.”
Biden's approval ratings have fallen since October, with the president standing at 34% approval and 66% disapproval in a national Marquette Law School poll conducted Dec. 2-11. It's the lowest approval rating for Biden in Marquette Law School polls since the president took office White House four years ago.

“I think what you saw was slowly coming down through the bushes Joe Biden here,” he said.
“That's not the approach that Joe Biden has been taking, at least publicly since the election, really, even since he nominated Kamala Harris,” Dovere said, citing “The West Wing” as an example of hard- sue a political leader. “But there are things that he could have done with executive authority. A lot of things that he could have done would probably set a target for Donald Trump to follow.”
“It doesn't look like taking another vacation right now is the kind of tapestry that the White House staff has said that he and the rest of the building are approaching things with,” Dovere said.

“I think about the conversation I had with Joe Biden,” Dovere said. “He was president for about three weeks, I was talking to him for a book I wrote. And part of the thing I took from it was that he was trying to impersonate Joe Biden , the guy who elected the president.”
“He's not just Barack Obama's vice president, he's not just the guy who beat Donald Trump,” he continued. “But now it's part of who I am, and it can define who I am. A few weeks before the election, I talked to a senior person in the White House, and I said, if Harris loses, “Most of the way Biden will be remembered, at least in the short term, is the man who was in between Trump's words.”
“Right now, that's the way he works,” Dovere said.
