Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
There is a wave of attack from the Democratic line against reigning President Joe Biden, that his apparent 'selfishness and stupidity' cost Kamala Harris the US elections. Biden has not been seen rooting much for Kamala Harris in recent months, but that could be majorly because of the fact that the reigning VP's own campaign team did not want to associate with the current President and his administration, more so because he is approval ratings were quite low and could do her damage.

Biden being blamed for Harris loss

However, that did not stop Harris from losing out in the Presidential election race, even though her approval ratings were quite high ever since she joined the ticket from the Democratic party. There are even claims that Joe Biden will be remembered as the President who saved the Americans from four years of Donald Trump rule, and then again gifted him back another four years, after being responsible for the Kamala Harris loss.

Why did Biden not drop out earlier, question Democrats

Even aides from the Kamala Harris campaign began pinning the blame on the current President, and even stated that he was the 'only reason for the Vice President's defeat.' Many believe that he should not have stayed on the Presidential ticket for so long, even though he is approval ratings were low, and should have dropped out early, giving Harris the chance to develop her stronghold, at least in the swing states.
