Harris supporters blame Biden for vice president's election defeat

Kamala Harris' significant defeat in the recent election has led some of her supporters to blame President Joe Biden. They argue that Biden's decision to run for reelection until July, despite concerns about his age and economic issues, contributed to the party's loss. Biden, who will leave office after one term, faced criticism for not recognizing earlier that he might not be the best candidate. Polls indicated that many voters felt he was too old to serve another term. His late exit from the race limited Harris' ability to differentiate her campaign from his. 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 believe an earlier transition could have allowed for a more competitive primary and a stronger campaign for Harris.
