While Biden put his head in the sand, prominent Democrats blindly entered the electoral canyon

On the morning after the presidential election in November last year, an angry Joe Biden grumbles that he would have defeated Donald Trump. Despite dramatic polls, a painful retreat as a candidate after an embarrassing debate and his visible physical and mental deterioration for everyone, the 81-year-old president, who became known on Sunday that he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer, remains convinced of himself. The loss of Kamala Harris is everything and everyone’s fault, except his. Racism and sexism in society have made his intended successor vulnerable. But the real perpetrators, Biden complains, are the media and especially prominent party members (Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama) who forced him to resign.

The rest of the Democratic party draws on that hangover morning the conclusion that the Biden itself has been. His stubbornness to want to continue despite his decline made them lose to the man who now has a second opportunity to democracy and the rule of law. The book Original sinfrom journalists Jake Tapper (CNN) and Alex Thompson (AXIOS), which will be published next week, reconstructs two hundred sources in detail how bad Biden was. But the book goes beyond a autopsy and does not just put the debt with him.

Bidens family and his direct employees – nicknamed ‘The Politburie’ – have shown the appearance for far too long that the president is doing fine. Everyone who thinks he sees something else is through them kaltgestellt. The rest of the party undergoes that and walks with their own hands in front of the eyes and fingers in the ears into the electoral canyon. Journalists, including tapper himself, tried the signals of decay that did come out.

The book is therefore more than the umpteenth settlement with Biden. It confronts the entire democratic framework with the failure of 2024 and forces many prominent figures, especially those with ambitions for the presidential elections in 2028, to look back and defend themselves for their lack of estimation about prayer’s ability. In the past few days, some swear in American media that they discouraged Biden to become a candidate again. Others insist that they were not working enough with the White House to have had a good idea of ​​it.

Wisdom afterwards

Josh Shapirothe governor of Pennsylvania, says that during the campaign he was « very frank » against the president « about what I saw as his shortcomings. » Pete Buttigieg, transport minister in Bidens Cabinet, says that it would have been better « with wisdom afterwards » if Biden never wanted to make an attempt to be re-elected.

Andy Beshear, the Governor of Kentucky, say That « earlier gets out of a random new candidate had given more time » to conduct a strong campaign. According to Chris Murphy, Senator from Connecticut, there is “no doubt« That Biden cognitively hovers backwards. » The discussion is or that his ability to function as a head of government endangers.  » These politicians find it essential that the Democratic Party of the Errors of 2024 learns and does not repeat it. Despite the unpopularity of Trump and his policy, the opposition party is at a historic low point in the polls.
