Go home, Joe.
Former President Joe Biden sounded the alarm this weekend — suggesting America is facing what he called “dark days” and “the worst” stretch of his political lifetime.
Speaking at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute, where he received a lifetime achievement award for inspired leadership, Biden painted a grim picture of the country’s direction.
“Friends, I can’t sugarcoat any of this. These are dark days,” Biden said.
He went on to claim that “our very democracy is at stake in my view,” calling the nation’s current state the “worst” he’s seen in all his years of “elected public life.”
Still, the former president tried to inject optimism, saying the U.S. always rebounds from crisis: “The U.S. will emerge stronger, wiser, more resilient, more just, so long as we keep the faith,” he said, urging Americans to “fight like hell.”
The 82-year-old Democrat — the oldest president in American history before leaving office earlier this year — was honored for his 36 years in the Senate, eight years as vice president, and four years in the White House.
