President Joe Biden has endorsed a ban on congressional stock trading in an interview that’s being released this week. It's the first time he's publicly backed the idea.
Right when he’s completely useless, he pushes for this. Pathetic and disingenuous.
Because he doesn’t need to work in politics ever again and this is going to be a pretty unpopular policy to lobby for. No one who ever has to whip votes on the Hill would ever put this kind of proposal forward. It was always going to come from a fringe of a caucus or a lame duck President.
Doesn’t check out. He wasn’t going to work in politics ever again 4 years ago.
He’s only doing it now because he knows he has no time to actually ever achieve it and is safe to play for optics without worrying about actually helping people.

Well, he claimed that his intent was to be a one-term President. Now we see that was a lie.
