The White House is described as "like a morgue" by NBC, while the network also examines the Biden legacy.

On Thursday, NBC News published an article about President Biden's legacy and the somber atmosphere at the White House as his time in office comes to an end.

Biden's pledge to unite the country, strengthen his party, and defend democracy was put to the test during his presidency.

The report claims that Biden has left the nation divided, the party in tatters, and the American people questioning the institutionalist's respect for the rule of law.

The disconnect between Biden's campaign promises and his actions as president has led many Democrats to criticize him for giving the White House to Trump, accusing him of staying in office too long and struggling after he pardoned his son, according to NBC News.

The president privately pondered about pardoning Trump as a gracious gesture, but he was not communicating with some of his closest allies.

In the article, James Carvile, a prominent Democratic political strategist, discusses his thoughts on Biden's legacy and his remaining time in office.

"According to Carville, the Joe Biden story is a tragic tale in American politics. He believes that Biden should be enjoying a glorious retirement, but instead, he is not. Carville added that it is difficult to blame anyone but Biden for his current situation."

A recent meeting with White House officials has left one official feeling that the current mood is "like a morgue," as they try to keep their emotions in check until Biden officially departs from the Oval Office.

"It's difficult to accept that we're finished until we've left and our belongings are behind," a White House official said to NBC, explaining that "it hasn't fully registered for those still present because we're working until the very end."

Biden's "many fractured friendships" are highlighted in the article, which states that he is estranged from some of his former allies.

According to NBC News, Biden holds a simmering resentment towards Obama, Pelosi, and several former aides, including Bauer and Dunn, who he believes either failed him or pushed him out of the 2024 race, according to several people close to him.

Since Nancy Pelosi pressured Biden to drop out of the presidential race in July, she and he have not had a significant meeting.

A source close to Biden confirmed that the relationship is irreparably harmed.

This week, the Washington Post published an article where Jill Biden expressed her disappointment with Nancy Pelosi's actions.

Ben Rhodes, a former aide to Obama, has suggested that President Biden's recent decision to name aircraft carriers after former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton may be seen as a snub to Obama.

Rhodes stated on the "Pod Save The World" podcast that Barack H. Obama did not receive a named personnel carrier.

Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden on federal gun and tax charges was criticized by NBC News as a violation of the norms he previously pledged to uphold.

According to the article, Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer, both former advisors and lawyers to President Biden, are said to have accused members of the Biden family of being "unceremoniously" removed from the president's inner circle.

According to NBC News, Hunter Biden and Jill Biden were specifically blamed by Dunn and Bauer for being unceremoniously cast out of the president's inner circle.

The quote from James Carville at the conclusion of the article captures the general mood surrounding the conclusion of the Biden presidency.

"Unfortunately, Joe Biden is currently remembered as the person who stayed too long."
