  • Biden said he is considering preemptive pardons for public figures such as former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney and former senior health official Dr. Anthony Fauci who have been threatened with investigation and prosecution by incoming president Donald Trump.

In an exclusive interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle, President Joe Biden discussed several key points including his biggest regret and a surprising compliment from former President Donald Trump. Biden expressed regret over using the term "illegal" during his State of the Union address to describe the suspect in the murder of Laken Riley, clarifying that he should have used "undocumented." He also shared that Trump, during a private conversation, complimented him by saying, "You’re a better president than I thought you’d be," which Biden took as a backhanded compliment. Additionally, Biden touched on his decision to run for office again, his views on the current political climate, and his ongoing efforts to address issues like immigration and economic recovery.
