Read Original Source

At least that was the chief reason put forward by Kamala Harris’ senior adviser, David Plouffe, in explaining what led to the November loss.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Democrats are increasingly blaming Joe Biden for the 2024 loss to Donald Trump, but that is also sparking a fight inside the party over whether others should share the blame.
Key Points:
- A new book excerpt quotes Kamala Harris adviser David Plouffe saying Biden “totally f---ed” the party by leaving Democrats with too little time to beat Trump.
- Some Democrats say blaming Biden is too easy and lets campaign consultants and party leaders avoid responsibility for the defeat.
- Critics on the left argue the party also had deeper problems, including weak messaging and a reputation for protecting insiders instead of pushing real change.
- The debate has grown as books and new claims about Biden’s health and decline have renewed questions about his decision to seek reelection and exit the race so late.

Democrats’ blame fight over Biden, Harris, and the 2024 loss may deepen party splits and distract leaders from fixing problems that affect voters, workers, and households.
Positive Impact
The debate could force more honesty about candidate choice, campaign planning, and leadership, which may help parties avoid similar mistakes in future elections.
