Joe Biden's name wasn't on the ballot, but history will likely remember Kamala Harris' resounding defeat as his loss too.
until this summer — despite long-standing voter concerns about his age and unease about post-pandemic inflation as well as the US-Mexico border — all but sealed his party's surrender of the White House.
"But in the shorter term, I don't know he escapes the legacy of being the president who beat Donald Trump only to usher in another Donald Trump administration four years later." "It's been a historic presidency — not because I am president but because of what we've done. What you've done." Biden, 81, ended his reelection campaign in July, weeks after an abysmal debate performance sent his party into a spiral and raised questions about whether he still had the mental acuity and stamina to serve as a credible nominee.
Yang argued that Democratic Party leaders also deserved blame for taking too long to push out Biden. With few exceptions, most notably Minnesota Representative Dean Phillips, Democrats shied away from talking publicly about Biden's age."It's a lack of courage and independence and an excess of careerism, if I just keep my mouth shut, we'll just keep on trucking along.
The strategists advising the Harris campaign said the compressed campaign timetable made it even more difficult for Harris to differentiate herself from the president. Plouffe did not assign blame and said the Harris campaign "dug out of a deep hole but not enough". The post was later deleted.
