What’s New
The hosts of Pod Save America tore into President Joe Biden on Tuesday, saying that he has disappeared from public view since President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election.
Why It Matters
Biden has drawn sharp criticism from supporters and critics for stepping away from the spotlight in the wake of Trump’s victory.
Jon Favreau, who served as a speechwriter to President Barack Obama, opened the discussion by pointing to Trump’s announcement on Monday that Japan’s SoftBank will invest $100 billion in technology and artificial intelligence projects in the U.S.
“It was more or less a standard presidential policy announcement, the main difference being Trump isn’t president yet, a fact that’s getting easier and easier to forget as Joe Biden seems to be disappearing from the public stage as his term comes to an end,” Favreau said on the podcast.
