Is President Biden so embittered by the forced end of his re-election bid that he’s actively undermining Kamala Harris’ campaign? This question isn’t just rhetorical; a growing chorus of political commentators suggests it’s a reality.
Since being pushed out of the race in July amid concerns over his cognitive fitness, Biden’s support for Harris has been lackluster at best. His endorsement seems to be the extent of his commitment, as he largely remains absent from his vice president’s campaign events.
Biden has repeatedly overshadowed Harris, even going so far as to address the nation about Hurricane Helene just after Harris abruptly canceled a Las Vegas campaign appearance to return to D.C. for the same issue.
The actions of this lame-duck president have provided ample fodder for Trump supporters, who are reveling in his cringe-inducing missteps. From donning a “Trump 2024” cap during a 9/11 commemoration to praising Florida Governor Ron DeSantis amid Harris’ complaints about his unwillingness to take her call, Biden’s choices can only be seen as provocative.
“Biden is intentionally enacting revenge on Kamala for knifing him in the back,” claims Jason Meister, a Republican political strategist who serves on the advisory board for Trump’s campaign.
“He never liked her. The happiest he’s looked in four years was when he put a red [Trump 2024] hat on after speaking with Shanksville, [Pa.] firefighters [last month] on 9/11. He should just come out and endorse Trump.”
The implications of Biden’s actions have not escaped the notice of political insiders. Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic strategist, notes, “It would be absolutely ridiculous to assume that he has no resentment over how he was treated or how, frankly, he was forced out in what some would describe as a coup.
“Why hasn’t he appeared in places where he could do some good, like parts of Pennsylvania and states that the president has buoyed during his term? Nobody wants to give up being president of the United States – it’s the one job you don’t want to leave.”
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy took aim at Biden’s apparent disloyalty, stating, “Somewhere deep down inside, in a place that he doesn’t want to admit, I think maybe Joe Biden is actually rooting for it.
“I think it’s clear that Joe is still bruised by what happened.”
In a further commentary on Biden’s mindset, Ramaswamy said, “I don’t think he would have won [a second term], but in his views, and those of his family, they probably think that they were robbed of it.”
Meanwhile, Trump campaign spokesperson Caroline Sunshine weighed in on the subject. “Harris doesn’t need help sabotaging her campaign because she does that herself every time she speaks without a teleprompter, [but] it’s important to remember there is absolutely no daylight between President Biden and Kamala Harris on policy.
“Kamala Harris has said herself she wouldn’t do a single thing differently these last four years, and our campaign will be reminding voters of this fact every day between now and Nov. 5.”
In response to the mounting criticism, White House spokesman Andrew Bates insisted that critics “seem to have missed” Biden’s commitment to Harris, asserting that he “made clear he was all-in for” her “out of the gate when he left the campaign.
“He believes fiercely in an agenda that will move us into the future, away from unhinged divisiveness and extreme policies the country can’t afford to go back to, like MAGAnomics and a national abortion ban.”
It’s clear that the dynamics of this administration are fraught with tension and possible ulterior motives. As the 2024 election approaches, one cannot help but wonder: Is this the end for Harris, or just the beginning of a deeper rift within the Democratic Party?
