People close to President Joe Biden told NBC News that the president has been complaining about Democrats and VP Kamala Harris not mentioning him or bringing up his supposed accomplishments.
What did he expect? They kicked him out, which I personally feel was the plan all along when he announced Harris as his 2020 VP pick:
Biden has noted at times that Vice President Kamala Harris, who took his place at the top of the Democratic ticket in July, hasn’t been mentioning him in her campaign speeches lately, including when she talks about an economy he believes his policies set on a positive trajectory, these people said.And he was particularly stung by one of the recent notable times when she did talk about him — during this month’s debate with former President Donald Trump, three of the people familiar with his comments said.“Clearly, I am not Joe Biden,” Harris said at the time, adding: “And I am certainly not Donald Trump. And what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country.” She made the remark in response to Trump’s contention that “she is Biden” as he tried to make the case that Harris’ and the president’s economic policies are no different.
The people who spoke to NBC News stressed that Biden wants Harris to win in November:
The six people with knowledge of Biden’s private comments said he gets the political reasoning behind shifting campaign messaging away from running on his record, even if it frustrates him at times.“He understands completely the general lack of mentioning ‘Bidenomics’ and ‘Joe Biden.’ Politically he gets that,” one of the people familiar with the dynamic said.A senior Biden aide said the president asks daily whether there’s anything more he could do to help Harris and that the two of them speak regularly.“He wants nothing more than to do everything we possibly can to support her,” the senior Biden said. “He’s 100% in.”
Did Biden really think they would keep him around when they obviously used him as a tool to instill the person they really wanted all along?
In August, Biden told CBS, in so many words, that the top Democrats pushed him out because polling showed him hurting their chances in all of the races.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi even admitted she hasn’t spoken to Biden since he dropped out.
Anita Dunn, longtime adviser to President Joe Biden, unloaded on Democrat leaders such as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer for pushing Biden out of the presidential race after the debate without any reasoning.
She also didn’t deny that Biden is still angry at the Democratic Congressional leaders.
Others let the mask slip, too:
