Biden left the race on July 21, and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who had just over three months to campaign before the election. 

Trump beat Harris by 2.2 million votes. 

Biden has been careful not to blame Harris while insisting to aides that he could have won, the Post reported.

Among acknowledgments of other mistakes – including his debate performance – Biden has also said that he regrets picking Merrick Garland as attorney general, the Post reported.

Convinced to do so by aides who said that Garland would be a consensus pick, Biden has privately said that he feels Garland moved too slowly on prosecuting Trump, while also claiming his son Hunter had been prosecuted too aggressively.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.
