Biden is opening a rift with Harris by repeating a claim he would have won.
Rift With Harris as Time Expires
The Wall Street Journal reports Biden’s Claim He Would Have Beaten Trump Opens Rift With Harris
Vice President Kamala Harris has told close allies and family members she is disappointed in President Biden’s recent contention that he would have won the 2024 election, according to people familiar with the conversations, straining relations between the two during their final days in the White House.
Her fraying relationship with Biden comes at a challenging time for Harris, who is dealing with a crisis in her adopted hometown of Los Angeles, where wildfires have caused broad destruction, as she transitions out of her public role. Harris has expressed deep sadness to people close to her over losing the election and Biden’s comments, some of those people said.
Asked if he thought he could have defeated Trump, Biden said this month in an interview with USA Today, “It’s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes, based on the polling.”
Days later, he reiterated to reporters that he “could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump.” Biden also said that Harris “could have beaten Trump, would have beaten Trump.”
“I didn’t want to be one who caused a party that wasn’t unified to lose an election,” he said. “And that’s why I stepped aside.”
On what planet do any of these contradictions make any sense?
- Based on polls Biden would have won.
- But he dropped out because he didn’t want to be the one to cause the party to lose.
- And finally, Harris could have and would have beaten Trump.
Jill needs to lock this guy out of public view.
Dear Kamala
Please run again in 2028. Every Republican in the country would be grateful.
