Kamala’s Team Tosses Biden Under The Bus, Blames Him For 2024 Loss

Aides who worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris — particularly those close to her failed 2024 presidential bid — have come forward to throw former President Joe Biden under the bus, claiming that he is to blame for her loss to President Donald Trump.

The new accusations were fully explored in the upcoming book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson: “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” as noted in a report from The Guardian. A number of those close to Harris asserted that Biden was ultimately responsible for the Democrats’ failure to retain the White House.

David Plouffe, who managed former President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, told authors Tapper and Thompson that Biden “totally f***ed us” by staying in the 2024 campaign until late July, leaving Harris just over 100 days — 107, to be exact — to mount a campaign against President Donald Trump.

Plouffe referred to the abbreviated campaign as “a f***ing nightmare,” adding, “It’s all Biden.”

Plouffe recalled taking phone calls from donors who were concerned about Biden’s speech patterns or his uneven gait, but when he asked the White House and Biden’s closest advisers whether the president was capable of seeing the 2024 campaign through, he was always told that Biden was fine.

There were others who agreed with Plouffe, including one Democratic strategist who told Tapper and Thompson, “[The 2024 campaign] was an abomination. He stole an election from the Democratic party; he stole it from the American people.”

Another senior aide who remained anonymous — and who ultimately quit his position in the Biden White House over the president’s decision to seek reelection, admitted, “We attempted to shield him from his own staff so many people didn’t realize the extent of the decline beginning in 2023.”

“I love Joe Biden. When it comes to decency, there are few in politics like him,” the aide said. “Still, it was a disservice to the country and to the party for his family and advisers to allow him to run again.”

Even Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly warned Biden to get out if he wanted to preserve any part of his legacy, meeting with the president at his Rehoboth Beach home shortly after the disastrous CNN debate in late June.

Schumer told Biden that if he remained on the ticket and lost, half a century of “amazing, beautiful work goes out the window. But it’s worse than that – you will go down in American history as one of the darkest figures.”

Biden, according to the book, replied to Schumer, “You have bigger balls than anyone I’ve ever met.”

Despite that, it was nearly a full month before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21.
