I have no clue if Joe Biden is low-key sticking it to his enemies within the Democratic Party, but this entire transition has been a bit funny. The man laughs it up with President-elect Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office, which unintentionally became one of the funniest White House photo ops of all time. He also smiled when he addressed the country after his vice president had been lost in a landslide.
It was a total repudiation of the Democratic Party, but Biden is leaving happy and untouched by the chaos of this cycle. He was forced out and engaged in what some called self-sabotage. We learned that national Democrats wanted a mini-primary after the coup was successfully executed, only for Biden to nuke those plans by endorsing Kamala. Now, regarding Trump’s inauguration, Biden says he’ll be there (via The Guardian).
