Former President Joe Biden, though no longer in office, recently said that world leaders still seek his advice. Speaking at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) conference in San Diego, Biden revealed that several European leaders have reached out to him, asking for his engagement on global issues.
While he clarified that he is not officially involved in current decisions, he continues to offer advice because “things are different” now. He also mentioned that many Democrats and Republicans consult with him, not necessarily expecting answers, but to discuss and get feedback.

During the event, Biden shifted unexpectedly from serious political topics to a nostalgic comment about drag-racing his 1967 Corvette on his driveway, which caught many off guard and led to mixed reactions.
Critics quickly questioned whether Biden’s claims of ongoing influence are genuine or simply an attempt to maintain relevance. This skepticism is fueled by the challenges and controversies that marked the end of his presidency, such as high inflation, immigration problems, and scrutiny over his family members, including his son Hunter Biden.
Some commentators viewed Biden’s remarks as disconnected from current political realities, while supporters argue that his decades of experience still make him a valuable voice.
Whether seen as a sincere reflection or a tone-deaf moment, Biden’s comments have sparked renewed debate about his role and influence in both national and international affairs, highlighting how his political legacy continues to provoke discussion even after leaving office.
