Joe Biden’s post-presidency is less a graceful exit and more a frantic scramble for relevance—and cash. After the Democrats’ defeat in November 2024, the former president has resurfaced with clumsy media appearances that reek of desperation.
Biden’s recent BBC interview was nothing more than a bitter attack on President Donald Trump and a weak defense of his own record. His Thursday appearance on “The View” was so awkward that Variety called it a “botched attempt to restore his legacy.”
What’s driving this media spree? On “The Morning Meeting” podcast, veteran journalist Mark Halperin revealed the Biden family is strapped for cash. According to a source close to the Bidens, their political “spigot” has been turned off and their long-running influence-peddling ventures have dried up since leaving office.

This shouldn’t come as a shock. For years, critics have pointed to the Biden family’s murky financial dealings—Hunter Biden’s overseas ventures, the web of LLCs, and whispers of influence peddling—as evidence of a clan accustomed to cashing in on Joe’s political clout.
Now, with that clout gone, the family appears to be pivoting to the next best thing: leveraging Joe’s fading spotlight for media gigs and speaking fees.
It’s a sad, almost pathetic spectacle. The octogenarian former president, once the most powerful man in the world, is now reduced to shilling for airtime on daytime talk shows and foreign outlets.
His family, long reliant on the perks of his office, seems to be scrambling to keep the gravy train rolling. Americans deserve better than to watch this slow-motion trainwreck unfold.
The Biden legacy, it seems, isn’t one of service or sacrifice—it’s a hustle, and the hustle goes on.
