Harris supporters blame Biden for vice president's election defeat

Kamala Harris' recent defeat in the election has led some of her supporters to blame President Joe Biden for not stepping aside earlier. They argue that his decision to run for reelection until July contributed to the party's loss. Biden's age and concerns about his effectiveness were significant issues for voters. Polls indicated that 77% of Americans believed he was too old to serve another term. His late exit from the race limited Harris' ability to distinguish her campaign from his. As Democrats face a challenging political landscape, some strategists feel that an earlier transition could have allowed for a more competitive primary. The party now confronts the prospect of a Republican administration, with control of the House still uncertain.
