In the aftermath of a significant victory for a candidate who has been portrayed as a threat to democracy, President Joe Biden and his inner circle are facing a period of reflection and reassessment.
There are divergent opinions among those close to the president, as per individuals familiar with the discussions. Some believe that Biden should have remained the candidate due to his strong coalitions in the Blue Wall states, while others attribute the Democrats' substantial losses in the executive and legislative branches to his lack of popularity.
