Biden Does A Series Of Videos
After bowing out of the 2024 presidential race amid mounting concerns over cognitive decline, Joe Biden has stepped back into the media spotlight — not to relaunch a campaign, but perhaps to salvage a legacy. Yet recent appearances on the BBC and ABC's The View have only deepened the doubts many Americans already had. Rambling answers, factually incorrect claims, and deflections about Kamala Harris' defeat have dominated the headlines — and they may be part of a deeper story unraveling behind the scenes.
According to political commentator Mark Halperin, speaking on 2Way’s livestream with Sean Spicer and Dan Turrentine, Biden’s public push isn’t just about optics or damage control. It’s about dollars.
“Biden Inc. has collapsed,” Halperin said bluntly, citing a source close to the family. And it makes sense. Without the influence of the Oval Office or the momentum of a political future, the brand power that sustained the Biden family — including high-ticket speaking gigs, board appointments, and the infamous art career of Hunter Biden — has all but evaporated.
A source “very familiar with the Bidens” tells @MarkHalperin that “Biden Inc.,” the family business that generated millions of dollars in revenue to support their lifestyle, has dried up. “The trough is empty, the spigot is turned off,” says Mark. “Biden Inc. needs a source of… pic.twitter.com/T1CVgO7p4Z

Spicer put it more directly: “The grift is over.” And while that might sound flippant, it’s a conclusion that even Biden’s defenders are struggling to counter. Without formal power, the value proposition for Biden's inner circle — the source of its commercial viability — vanishes. No access, no influence, no leverage.
Hunter’s painting portfolio, which once sparked controversy for its eyebrow-raising valuations, appears to have cooled off significantly. Speaking fees are reportedly tanking — with Biden unable to command the $300,000 rates he once could, and some would-be hosts balking at added demands like private jets and full entourages. As Spicer quipped, “Who is going to pay that for Joe Biden?”
What’s left? Not much, according to the panel — except maybe a tell-all book. A cash grab of revelations aimed at dishing Democratic secrets might find an audience, particularly among disillusioned voters or media figures hungry for insider dirt. Spicer floated the idea of Biden spilling on Nancy Pelosi, joking he’d buy that book himself. But even that idea walks a fine line: too mild and it’s ignored; too truthful, and it burns bridges Biden can’t afford to lose.

Biden’s own recent TV performances aren’t helping either. On The View, he falsely claimed he gave Harris “six full months” to campaign when it was only four, and implied that racism and sexism were responsible for her landslide defeat. The more the public sees of Biden in this state, the panel argued, the more they’re reminded why his campaign was abandoned in the first place.
Whether Biden is on a rehabilitation tour or a cash-hunt, the optics are grim. The image of a once-powerful figure now struggling for relevance is painful to watch — and the empire that once surrounded him is quietly collapsing in the background.
The “Biden Inc.” pipeline — once fueled by access, insider status, and political muscle — now faces a hard truth: without power, influence, or popular demand, the market has moved on. And in a ruthless post-Trump, post-Biden political landscape, sentimental value doesn’t pay the bills.
