It’s a day until the election, and I’m not sure that Joe Biden knows he isn’t the nominee for the Democratic Party.
After being benched by his party, Biden has been a thorn in the side of Kamala’s dreams, ambitions, and aspirations.
He has become especially frustrating to Democrats after donning a Trump hat during a 9/11 visit in Pennsylvania. Was he wearing it to actually support Trump? Of course not, but the memes that have come out of Biden’s joyful smile while wearing the name of his political adversary are priceless, being utilized heavily by Republicans.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Biden has appeared to be extremely angry in recent interviews, creating a stain on Kamala’s campaign that has supposedly preached unity and joy.
“These are the kinds of guys you’d like to smack on the ass,” Biden said during a recent appearance, with a wall of Harris Walz behind him.
And this is the exact problem that Biden presents to the campaign. We are a day out from deciding the next president of the United States, and Biden is out on the trail spewing hate towards Republicans. I can’t imagine that this is the image Harris desires to create surrounding her campaign, anything that Biden might say will be instantly associated with Harris.
This is just one of two instances of Biden creating a major issue for his Vice President. Last week he called Republicans “garbage,” which Trump of course pounced on, donning a garbage man suit for one of his rallies.
I have never been a conspiracy theorist, but I can’t help but crack a smile at the theories that have emerged proclaiming that Joe Biden is secretly planning to vote for Trump and sabotage Kamala’s campaign. It is the ultimate revenge story after Biden was kicked to the curb in July.
I am not a Joe Biden fan or supporter either, but I believe the way he was treated by his own party was simply disgraceful. However, business is business, and after his disastrous debate performance last summer, there was simply no way that Harris wouldn’t have the nomination handed to her on a silver platter.
We will see if Kamala continues to distance herself from Biden until the election, but I am not sure if there is enough time for her to do so. We may never be able to measure how damaging Biden’s recent remarks have been for her campaign, but I know that they didn’t help in any way. As long as he continues to give Republicans bulletin board material, he will continue to make it more difficult for Harris to secure an election victory.
