The 82-year-old former party leader reflected on the Democrats' November losses and discussed the future of the party on "The View" Thursday morning. 

"The only reason I got out of the race was because I didn't want to have a divided Democratic Party," Biden maintained to the hosts of "The View."

Hogg's Super PAC, Leaders We Deserve, announced a plan last month to spend $20 million to help elect younger Democrats in deep-blue districts, which the 25-year-old party leader said are "asleep at the wheel."

"Aren't we supposed to run against Republicans?" Carville asked in an interview with CNN. 

The longtime senator from New York faced pushback from the Democratic Party in March for supporting the Trump-backed Republican budget bill that averted a government shutdown and stirred up outrage among congressional Democrats who planned to boycott the bill.
