The change in attitude is significant, considering Biden said Garland was going to restore “the honor, the integrity, the independence” of the Justice Department when his administration began.

Biden also regrets dropping out of the presidential race after his widely criticized debate performance. He believes he would have defeated Trump had he stayed in. However, many Democrats say Harris lost because Biden didn’t drop out sooner.
“Biden ran on the promise that he was going to be a transitional president, and in effect, have one term before handing it off to another generation,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told the Post.
“I think his running again broke that concept — the conceptual underpinning of the theory that he would end the Trump appeal, he would defeat Trumpism and enable a new era,” Blumenthal added.
Members of the Biden administration are not blaming Harris for the loss. They’re also trying to put a positive spin on his time in office.
“The president has been operating on a time horizon measured in decades, while the political cycle is measured in four years,” Biden’s National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told the Post.
Behind the scenes, Biden reportedly admitted that he made mistakes during the last four years. He said he “screwed up” during the debate and was “stupid” for not putting his name on COVID-19 economic relief checks like Donald Trump did.

President Biden is quietly expressing regret about appointing Merrick Garland as Attorney General.
According to a report in the Washington Post, Biden believes Garland was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, and allowed an aggressive prosecution of his son Hunter.
Garland appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith in November 2022 to oversee the investigations into the 2020 election certification and the Trump classified documents case. Both investigations led to indictments against Donald Trump, all charges were eventually dropped.
The investigation into Hunter Biden began in 2021, but Garland made him Special Counsel in 2023. The President ultimately pardoned his son for all offenses he committed or may have committed between January 2014 and December 2024.
