Harris supporters blame Biden for defeat to Trump in election fallout

Vice President Kamala Harris lost decisively to President-elect Donald Trump, leading some of her supporters to blame President Joe Biden for not stepping aside earlier in the election cycle. They argue his late decision to end his reelection campaign contributed to the party's defeat. Biden's age and concerns about his effectiveness were significant issues for voters. Polls indicated that a majority believed he was too old to serve another term. His endorsement of Harris came after he faced pressure from party leaders to withdraw. Harris struggled to differentiate her campaign from Biden's, which may have hurt her appeal. Some strategists believe an earlier primary would have allowed her to establish a clearer identity. The Democratic Party now faces challenges as Republicans gain control of the White House and potentially the Senate.
