After announcing the end of his campaign, Biden has made various controversial \u2063gestures, such\u200b as wearing a MAGA hat at \u2064a 9\/11 memorial event, which has\u200c raised eyebrows about his stance\u2064 towards Trump. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/time-magazine-takes-chinese-cash-to-promote-controversial-drone-business\/\" title=\"Time Magazine Takes Chinese Cash To Promote Controversial Drone Business\">article highlights<\/a> a growing rift between Biden and \u2064Harris, with Biden seemingly boasting about her contributions while also undermining her campaign\u200d efforts. Despite publicly projecting unity, tensions between their respective staffs are reportedly high. The piece\u2064 suggests that Biden&#8217;s departure from the presidency may be motivated not \u200bjust\u200d by legacy considerations but also by\u2062 a desire for revenge against \u2062political adversaries, hinting at\u200c a deeper discontent within the party. It concludes by underscoring how the political landscape is filled with \u200dfacades, with elected officials often not believing their own rhetoric about the opposing party being \u2063a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/national-guard-protection-of-capitol-to-cost-483-million-through-march-pentagon\/\" title=\"National Guard Protection of Capitol to Cost 3 Million Through March: Pentagon\">dire threat<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rRY7p1hfMgM\">WFAA\/Youtube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/18\/joe-biden-is-acting-like-he-doesnt-want-kamala-to-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Joe%20Biden%20Is%20Acting%20Like%20He%20Doesn%E2%80%99t%20Want%20Kamala%20To%20Win&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/18\/joe-biden-is-acting-like-he-doesnt-want-kamala-to-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Joe%20Biden%20Is%20Acting%20Like%20He%20Doesn%E2%80%99t%20Want%20Kamala%20To%20Win&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/18\/joe-biden-is-acting-like-he-doesnt-want-kamala-to-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/18\/joe-biden-is-acting-like-he-doesnt-want-kamala-to-win\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Joe%20Biden%20Is%20Acting%20Like%20He%20Doesn%E2%80%99t%20Want%20Kamala%20To%20Win&amp;body=For%20all%20the%20talk%20of%20ending%20his%20campaign%20to%20ensure%20his%20legacy,%20Biden%20certainly%20doesn%E2%80%99t%20seem%20to%20see%20a%20President%20Harris%20as%20part%20of%20that%20legacy.%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/18\/joe-biden-is-acting-like-he-doesnt-want-kamala-to-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>While President Joe Biden&rsquo;s decision to end his campaign was presented as a peaceful transfer of power, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3114804\/pelosi-punts-responsibility-role-biden-ouster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anything but<\/a>. Now, he seems to want to have a few last words and, boy, is he having them. <\/p>\n<p>First, he donned the MAGA hat at an event with firefighters for a 9\/11 memorial. Granted, it wasn&rsquo;t an endorsement at all, but rather Biden having fun with the crowd. Still, though, if Trump were truly the existential threat Democrats portray him to be, would Biden have donned what is essentially an SS-peaked visor cap?<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e96cc2666de6fde160866f0b0078e26f fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-e96cc2666de6fde160866f0b0078e26f\"><\/div>\n<p>Then, as Harris attempted to distance herself from the administration she is part of &mdash; her campaign is centered on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irs-whistleblower-on-hunter-biden-case-says-his-next-steps-are-to-hold-doj-accountable-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"IRS whistleblower on Hunter Biden case says his next steps are to hold DOJ accountable - Washington Examiner\">offering &#038;ldquo<\/a>;A New Way Forward,&rdquo; after all &mdash; Biden began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3178615\/harris-continues-to-break-with-biden-despite-gop-efforts-to-paint-her-as-the-incumbent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boasting<\/a> that &ldquo;she was a major player in everything we&rsquo;ve done.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>For good measure, he threw Harris under the bus again when she claimed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hadn&rsquo;t been answering her calls regarding disaster relief. Of DeSantis, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3182398\/harris-biden-clash-final-weeks-election-hurricane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, &ldquo;The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he&rsquo;s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday, and I said &mdash; no &mdash; you&rsquo;re doing a great job, it&rsquo;s all being done well, and we thank you for it.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>There is also the fact that Biden, who promised to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-harris-lame-duck-joint-campaigning-79496a704736e8965010eea3bb6b6b5d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">campaign for Harris<\/a>, has not, in fact, been campaigning for Harris. Instead, he&rsquo;s mostly been doing what he&rsquo;s been doing for a large part of his presidency, which is staying out of the public eye and taking lots of vacations. For all the talk of ending his campaign to ensure his legacy, he certainly doesn&rsquo;t seem to see a President Harris as part of that legacy.<\/p>\n<p>While they project unity to the media, it&rsquo;s no secret that there isn&rsquo;t a lot of love between the warring leadership factions of the Democratic Party. Former President Obama and Biden don&rsquo;t have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/07\/21\/biden-obama-2024-president-drop-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">particularly warm feelings<\/a> for one another, nor does Biden feel particularly good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/07\/22\/biden-kamala-harris-election-chances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">about Harris<\/a>, endorsement notwithstanding. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/10\/13\/kamala-harris-biden-campaign-tension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Axios report<\/a> over the weekend, tensions are rising amongst both Biden&rsquo;s and Harris&rsquo; staffs, leaving senior Biden aides feeling &ldquo;wounded by the president being pushed out.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cddc7bdf283e9e492d76a949efc264b1 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cddc7bdf283e9e492d76a949efc264b1\"><\/div>\n<p>The bonhomie is as much a show as is the vitriol displayed toward Republicans. In public, especially when there&rsquo;s an election to win, Republicans and Democrats are bitter enemies. Once the dust settles, though, they tend to reveal they don&rsquo;t hate each other that much.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s why Biden donning the MAGA hat, even if it was a moment of friendly retail politics for a campaign that was over, is telling, as is Biden&rsquo;s seeming twists of the knife into Harris&rsquo; campaign. While elected officials will decry the other side as a threat to the nation, one that cannot be overcome if the wrong side loses the latest most important election in history, few of them seem to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Biden knows that Trump is not going to end the American experiment. As such, he may be ending his presidency not with an act of selfless service, but rather one of revenge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fbe111c25d4b71e2412243fa07e16b35 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fbe111c25d4b71e2412243fa07e16b35\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Richard Cromwell is a writer and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/living-through-a-socialist-collapse-an-insiders-account-of-venezuelas-demise\/\" title=\"Living Through A Socialist Collapse: An Insider\u2019s Account Of Venezuela\u2019s Demise\">senior contributor<\/a> at The Federalist.
