Joe Biden has maintained a relatively low profile since January but has recently increased public appearances. His first speech since leaving office occurred in Chicago last month, where he commented on the Trump administration's approach to Social Security. He accused officials of causing damage to the agency and the federal government.In his first post-presidency interview, broadcast on the BBC this week, Biden criticized the administration on various issues. He likened President Trump's approach to a potential peace deal for Ukraine to "modern-day appeasement" and criticized suggestions about acquiring territory.
The former president's career spanned over five decades, including time as a senator and vice president, concluding with his presidency before President Trump's victory in November.Jill Biden has also begun stepping up public appearances. The 73-year-old recently accepted a role as chair of the Milken Institute's Women's Health Network. She retired from her teaching career in December.
Discussing the health initiative, Jill Biden suggested private sectors may need to increase investment in women's health research. "I mean, today, I think he has a full schedule. He started early with interviews and briefings, and it just keeps going," she told The Washington Post in January regarding her husband's capacity to serve.
