After a miserable debate performance against President-elect Trump a month earlier, President Biden withdrew from this year’s presidential contest in late July, amid growing concerns about his age and mental health. After that, Harris assumed his top spot on the ticket, but a few months later, Trump defeated him.
Simmons claimed that Harris taking over her boss’s position “would ensure that it would dominate the news, at a point where Democrats have to learn drama, transparency, and doing things the public will want to see.”. “”.
The fact that Harris lost to Trump and lost control of the Senate in the 2024 elections has shook Democrats, many of whom see the president-elect as a danger to democracy.
Following the election, Democrats have also resorted to internal strife. While centrists claim the party went too far to the left and scared moderate voters, leftists contend the party didn’t go far enough in their direction to thrill the party’s base.
