Biden aides were "furious" and blamed former President Barack Obama's advisers for Harris' missteps that ultimately cost her any hopes of the White House.

A former Biden staffer claimed, "There is no singular reason why we lost, but a big reason is because the Obama advisers publicly encouraged Democratic infighting to push Joe Biden out, didn't even want Kamala Harris as the nominee, and then signed up as the saviors of the campaign only to run outdated Obama-era playbooks for a candidate that wasn’t Obama."

The aide also said they'd like a shot of "whatever they’re drinking if 100 extra days of campaigning for Harris instead of Biden would have changed the results of last night!"

Early on in the campaign, Biden firmly believed his strong connections with trade unions and working-class individuals would have helped him win the 2024 presidential election.

Less than six weeks before Election Day, he said his polling figures had been promising, and he went on The View to insist: "I was confident I would beat Trump. He's a loser."

Still, Harris only managed about 67 million votes, a significant difference from the 81 million votes Biden received in 2020.
