Harris supporters blame Biden for vice president's election defeat

Kamala Harris' defeat in the recent election has led to criticism of President Joe Biden from her supporters. They argue that Biden's decision to run for reelection until July, despite concerns about his age and the economy, contributed to the party's loss. Biden, who ended his campaign after a poor debate performance, endorsed Harris but did not allow enough time for her to establish her own identity separate from his administration. Many believe an earlier withdrawal could have allowed for a more competitive primary. As Republicans prepare to take control of the White House and potentially the Senate, Democrats are reflecting on the impact of Biden's choices. Some party members feel that Biden's actions left Harris with limited options and a challenging campaign environment.
