US EditionAides Suggest Biden’s Delayed 2024 Decision Complicated Harris’s Campaign Prospects
- Six months after the 2024 election defeat, top Kamala Harris adviser David Plouffe blamed former President Joe Biden for worsening the campaign outcome by not dropping out sooner.
- Biden’s severe physical and mental decline beginning in 2023, including public confusion and debate struggles, led to internal concerns about his fitness and mobility during the campaign.
- The new book Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson exposes a lengthy cover-up of Biden’s health decline and details the truncated 107-day Harris campaign hindered by Biden’s late withdrawal.
- Plouffe described Biden’s decision as catastrophic and called the campaign aftermath a “fucking nightmare,” while a strategist called Biden’s determination to stay in the race an “abomination” that robbed the party and voters.
- Biden’s delayed withdrawal from the race left Kamala Harris with insufficient time to organize a strong campaign, indicating that the party’s defeat in 2024 and Trump’s comeback were directly linked to Biden’s refusal to concede earlier.

Plouffe Gives Statement In New Book - Patriot Newsfeed
The post-election autopsy of the 2024 Democratic catastrophe has taken a new, deeply personal turn—with former Obama adviser David Plouffe delivering a blistering indictment not just of Joe Biden’s failed reelection bid, but of the entire Democratic establishment’s complicity in propping up a candidacy that was, by all accounts, politically—and perhaps physically—untenable. In Jake Tapper’s new book, Plouffe reportedly calls Kamala Harris’ 107-d…
