Part 6/8:
The Final Regret: Leadership and Instinct
As the author notes, perhaps the most significant regret Biden harbors relates to his failure to rely on his wisdom amid external pressures from party figures and advisors. His reluctance to take decisive actions on his terms ultimately resulted in missed chances and a leadership style that many perceive as faltering.
Biden’s reluctance to step aside has left him in a precarious position, particularly given the low approval ratings among constituencies for whom he campaigned vigorously. Some speculate whether Biden would have fared better against Trump if he’d chosen to leave the presidency with dignity instead of clinging to power.
