Allies of Kamala Harris blame Joe Biden for her 2024 election defeat

Kamala Harris' allies are blaming President Joe Biden for her defeat in the 2024 election. They argue that Biden's late decision to run for reelection contributed to the loss, as many voters expressed concerns about his age and the economy. Biden, who ended his campaign in July, faced pressure from party leaders to step aside earlier. His endorsement of Harris did not translate into a successful campaign, as she struggled to differentiate her platform from his. As Trump prepares to take office again, Democrats are reflecting on the challenges they faced during the election. Many believe that an earlier transition could have allowed for a more competitive primary and a stronger campaign for Harris.
