Democrats blame Biden for Harris's election loss to Trump

After Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, many Democrats blamed President Joe Biden for not stepping aside earlier. Trump won key swing states, leading to his second term and Republican control of the Senate. Democratic strategists criticized Biden for delaying his decision to withdraw from the race, which they believe hurt Harris's campaign. Some party members expressed concerns about Biden's health and suggested he should have left the race sooner to allow for a stronger candidate. Harris's campaign struggled to distinguish itself from Biden, and his absence from the campaign trail in the final weeks raised concerns. Some Democrats felt a primary would have been beneficial, allowing for a clearer separation from the incumbent president.
