Harris supporters blame Biden for vice president's election defeat

Vice President Kamala Harris faced a significant defeat in the recent election, which many of her supporters attribute to President Joe Biden's decision to run for reelection until July. Critics argue that Biden's age and the party's struggles with inflation and immigration issues contributed to the loss. Biden, who will leave office after one term, endorsed Harris after ending his campaign. However, Harris struggled to differentiate her platform from Biden's, which may have hindered her appeal to voters. Some Democrats believe an earlier transition 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 implications of this election. Many party members express frustration over the circumstances leading to Harris's defeat and the challenges ahead.
