President Joe Biden recently participated in an interview in the Roosevelt Room of the White House with MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas. During the discussion, Biden was asked if there were any actions he regretted or wished he had approached differently during his presidency, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
“Well, I guess if I thought a lot about it there’d be something specifically, not generically,” Biden responded, indicating that he had no major regrets about his time in office.
Biden’s presidency has seen a range of significant events and policy actions. Some of the most notable include:
- The withdrawal from Afghanistan, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and significant criticism of the evacuation process.
- Economic challenges, including the highest inflation rates in 40 years.
- Rising gas prices, which have been tied to shifting energy policies.
- An increase in illegal immigration, with reports of over 15 million people crossing the southern border.
- The fentanyl crisis, with record overdoses tied to drugs entering the country.
- Supply chain disruptions, which affected the availability of goods.
- COVID-19 vaccine mandates, which drew both support and backlash.
- Statements targeting political opponents, including calling Trump supporters “garbage”
- Rising crime rates in many parts of the country.
- Tax policy changes, including increases that some have argued impact businesses.
- Ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia, with billions of dollars allocated in aid.
- Reforms within the military, including initiatives focused on diversity and inclusion.

Vice President Kamala Harris also faced similar questions during her tenure. In a past interview on The View, Harris remarked that she wouldn’t have done anything differently during her time as vice president, aligning her perspective closely with Biden’s.
