Here's who Biden blames for his 2024 election loss, Trump divulges after private convo

"I asked him, I said, 'So who do you blame?' Because he was very angry, you know, he was a very angry guy, actually," Trump said. "And he said, 'I blame Barack.' And I never think of him as 'Barack.' You know, you always hear 'Obama.' You say, you have to think about that for a second. And he said, 'and I also blame Nancy Pelosi.'"

Biden noted in his conversation that he did not blame Harris for the disarray in the Democratic Party during the election year, Trump said. 

In February 2024, however, Biden's 81 years of age and mental acuity fell under public scrutiny after years of conservatives questioning the commander in chief's mental fitness. 

Special counsel Robert Hur, who was investigating Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents as vice president, announced he would not recommend criminal charges against Biden for possessing classified materials after his vice presidency, calling Biden "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

The report renewed scrutiny over Biden's mental acuity, which rose to a fever pitch in June 2024 after the president's first and only presidential debate against Trump. 

Biden faced backlash for a handful of gaffes and miscues in the days leading up to his ill-fated debate against Trump, including Obama taking Biden's wrist and appearing to lead him off a stage during a swank fundraiser, and also abroad when Italian Prime Minister Giogia Meloni guided Biden back to a group of world leaders when he appeared to wander off to give a thumbs-up to a parachutist during the G-7 summit. 

When the big debate day arrived, Biden missed his marks repeatedly, tripping over his responses and appearing to lose his train of thought as he squared up against Trump. The disastrous debate performance led to an outpouring from both conservatives and traditional Democrat allies calling on the president to bow out of the race in favor of a younger generation. 

On July 21, 2024, Biden issued a post announcing he would bow out of the race. He endorsed Harris to take the reins of the election in a follow-up post. 

Some Democrats and insiders have pointed to Obama for the 2024 loss, after Obama reportedly worked in the background in summer 2024 to encourage Biden's ouster from the race. 

Fox News Digital reached out to the respective offices for Pelosi, Obama and Biden regarding Trump's comments but did not immediately receive replies.
