“circlehat he did It was be genuine threat to Democracy,” Biden said, apparently referring to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

With only a few weeks remaining in President Biden’s term, the president and his aides are reportedly reconsidering his future actions. Mr. Biden and his aides believe the 82-year-old could have defeated Mr. Trump, sources told The Washington Post.
Mr. Biden has also privately complained that the Justice Department chief did not do enough to prosecute Mr. Trump and regrets choosing Merrick Garland to be his attorney general. A person familiar with Biden’s comments told the media.
